(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of November 5, 2005, Hamburg practitioners read the announcement of the Falun Gong Association outside the Chinese Consulate in Hamburg. The announcement included a warning to all people who actively participate in the persecution and to those who continue to take part in the persecution of Falun Gong. They were informed that any further criminal participation in the persecution will initiate investigations and upon the conclusion of those investigations they will be taken to court.

The declaration reads as follows: "As of today, all officials from the Chinese provinces or cities throughout China, as well as leading officials of China's Communist Party (CCP), who bear major responsibility, and who again, as well as continue to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, will be called through civil and criminal charges to task by Falun Gong practitioners worldwide, the minute they step foot outside Mainland China. Criminal liability will be ascertained and punitive damages in form of financial compensation will be assessed."

Also, charges against Embassy and Consulate staff will be filed, as soon as their role in the overseas persecution of Falun Gong and its practitioners is determined. Grounds for filing charges include consular activities carried out under pressure by the Chinese regime, such as spying on overseas Falun Gong practitioners, as well as harassing and putting pressure on practitioners by such staff. Cases in point, in Germany and worldwide, are the passport renewal or extension denials for no reasons other than practicing Falun Gong. Such activities were recorded on a number of occasions in Hamburg. At this time, a practitioner from G ttingen is experiencing problems concerning passport renewal.

The announcement also clarifies that for those who abstain from persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in the future, the following applies: "For all those who have committed crimes against Falun Gong but want now to correct their mistakes, they can submit, under safe circumstances, a guarantee statement or regret letter to Minghui (Clearwisdom.Net) or to any regional Falun Dafa Association to be archived. We will not investigate the various crimes of those who are determined to correct their mistakes. However we will continue to monitor their actions."
