(Clearwisdom.net) On 14 August 2003, Belgian website Expatica featured an article about Belgian Falun Gong practitioners launching a lawsuit against former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin. The article revealed that Jiang is to be cited for crimes against humanity under Belgium's new genocide law, and outlined how according to the lawsuit, which was launched on August 14th, "the actions of the Chinese authorities have also deprived the rights of Falun Gong members in Belgium." The article also mentions that since 1999, when the persecution against Falun Gong began, many people who support Falun Gong have been arrested or imprisoned.

Belgian practitioners have already been interviewed on one of Belgium's leading radio news programs and received an encouraging message from a Belgian political party, saying that they support this initiative, wish the practitioners success and hope that the result of the lawsuit will be good.
