A number of Falun Gong practitioners have filed criminal complaints in China’s highest courts since the beginning of this month.
These documents list the same defendant: Jiang Zemin—former head of the Chinese Communist Party who imposed his personal will on state organs to launch the persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999.
In China, where the first lawsuit against Jiang occurred in August 2000, a new wave of legal efforts to bring Jiang to justice has begun. Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many Falun Gong practitioners are now exercising their legal right to file criminal complaints against Jiang.
Practitioner Zhang Zhaosen in Hubei Province submitted his criminal complaint to the judge during his illegal trial at the Xiangyang Intermediate Court on May 15, 2015. The judge accepted the complaint.
Prior to the trial, Mr. Zhang also mailed his complaint to the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on May 11 via EMS (Express Mail Service).
