(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, the largest attorney's association in Taiwan issued a declaration that they support Falun Dafa practitioners' international human rights lawsuits. Over 100 attorneys in Taiwan signed the declaration that states: Based on principles of justice and to safeguard human rights, we call on all to stop Jiang and his accomplices' violent persecution of Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) practitioners and support global legal action to bring them to justice.
Since September 2003, several Falun Dafa practitioners in Taiwan formed a legal team to clarify the truth in each county and city legal office. Based upon these face-to-face meetings, many attorneys, judges and congressional representatives clearly understand the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa. They expressed their support for Falun Dafa practitioners' global legal efforts to bring Jiang to justice. In addition to the support of the association, over 100 attorneys individually signed their support of bringing human rights violator Jiang to justice. The declaration is attached at the end of this article.
During the process of clarifying the truth and collecting petitions, Falun Dafa practitioners indicated that although China is not a signer of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, this Court should not and cannot ignore the calls for justice coming from every corner of the world. We will submit these petitions, the Declaration and other righteous calls for justice to the International Criminal Court. It is our hope that that the Court will pay attention to the voices of the legal professionals who are safeguarding human rights and justice by accepting our lawsuits to stop this persecution. After we clarified the truth to them, there were no attorneys who did not support the global legal actions against Jiang. More attorneys continue to sign on as supporters of the Declaration. Some attorneys feared Chinese pressure, while some judges could not express their support in a written document due to their public position. However, most of them told Falun Dafa practitioners that they will clarify the truth of Falun Dafa and its persecution to other people in the legal field. They hope that all professionals, whose mission it is to safeguard human rights, will understand the truth of this persecution and support the lawsuits against Jiang.
During this process, practitioners in Taiwan upgraded continuously, eliminating many blockages to clarify the truth to legal professionals. Master said,
"So as for your suing the head scoundrel this time, I've been observing and watching you. When I discovered certain problems I told some individual Dafa disciples, "We can't be too attached to ordinary people." If we truly bring it to court, if we truly manage to sue it successfully, if we're truly able to push this thing forward, then it will have been done by our Dafa disciples. Wherever there's a problem, that is where we should go clarify the facts--judges, lawyers, and the various people involved in the suit are all people we should clarify the facts to. Once the human minds are rectified, the court will stand on the side of justice. Then won't it be our Dafa disciples doing that? Won't it result from Dafa disciples validating the Fa? Won't it be the accomplishment of Dafa disciples? You can't call it ordinary people validating the Fa, it's Dafa disciples walking their own path. That's the little bit that makes things different." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Midwest-U.S. Fa Conference")
The people who know the truth are all mobile media that can further transmit the truth. We clearly understand that the process to clarify the truth to attorneys and judges is a process of Falun Dafa practitioners bringing together the powers of justice in the world. It is a process of Dafa disciples saving sentient beings.
During this Fa-rectification period process, fellow practitioners constantly
share experiences and inspire each other to do better and become purer

historically momentous cases, the world's legal systems will position themselves
well. They have waited thousands of years to be placed in this position for this
monumental event. We believe the day that the world's legal system stands for
justice is very near.
A Declaration to "Support the Global Efforts to Bring "International Human
Rights Scoundrel Jiang to Justice"
To Whom it may concern,
I (signors) oppose all inhuman violence that the international human rights

safeguard human rights, I want to call forth the reasons below and declare:
This is my declaration. I support Falun Dafa practitioners' global lawsuits
against Jiang Zemin and other officials who persecuted Falun Dafa. This is based
on my personal principles of justice. It is not based on any political
affiliation or carry any political intention. I hope that the people in our
global village will safeguard human rights, treasure freedom and try our best
through a peaceful effort to end Jiang's violence towards Falun Dafa
practitioners as soon as possible. Let us end this monumental human rights
tragedy from continuing in Chinese society.
