Falun Dafa Information Center: Falun Gong Practitioners to Prosecute Mainland Chinese Persecutors

September 3, 2001

Since July 1999, Jiang Zemin's regime has continued to escalate the persecution of Falun Gong. According to incomplete statistics, 274 Falun Gong practitioners have died from the persecution; more than 500 people have been illegally sentenced; more than 1,000 people have been forced into mental hospitals. 20,000 people have been sent to labor camps without due process or any other type of appropriate legal procedure. Countless Falun Gong practitioners have been beaten and tortured by the police. This campaign has involved a catastrophic and enormous loss of lives, loss of jobs, the systematic breakdown of families, and the disruption of civil society.

The torture, murder, and other human rights abuses -- which target innocent kindhearted people in pursuit of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance--are acts without conscience. They constitute serious violations of the law of nations; they undermine all that the human community of nations value and esteem. They not only deny such basic human rights as freedom of belief, freedom of speech, and the right to be free from false imprisonment, torture, other cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment, but are also an assault on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

To stop the campaign of violence and hatred--to help the Falun Gong practitioners who are being persecuted in China, to maintain and protect the justice and basic moral principles of the human society-- Falun Gong practitioners are going to prosecute Mainland Chinese officials who have participated in the campaign of violence and hatred against Falun Gong.

Here, we'd like to ask Falun Gong practitioners in China and abroad, and the insiders from all walks of life to provide the following information (totally or partially):

(1) All information about the criminals who are involved with the planning, directing, supervising, implementing, and/or assisting in the persecution of Falun Gong, and its practitioners. This includes but is not limited to arbitrary arrest and detention, murder and gratuitous killing, torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment, rape, the pillaging and ransacking of practitioners' homes, forced brainwashing, filing of false charges, inappropriate administration of drugs, and any other words and deeds which constitute physical and mental torture. Of special importance are the criminal officials and clerks at all levels of the "610 Office" in Mainland China; all officials of the Communist party, government and army; policemen at police stations, labor camps, drug rehabilitation centers, policemen in plain clothes; individuals who work for the sub-district offices and residential committees; the lawless doctors at the mental hospitals, drug rehabilitation centers and labor camps; individuals who work for procuratorates and courts; booksellers and reporters from the radio stations, TV stations and newspapers; actors/actresses, artists, civil and military hatchet men; and all other lawless people who slander and persecute Falun Dafa and its practitioners.
