ATROCITIES IN CHINA: LIST OF VICTIMS IN THE PERSECUTION OF FALUN GONG IN CHINA Jointly Compiled By World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong PO Box 365506 Hyde Park, MA 02136 Contact: John Jaw - President Tel: 781-710-4515 Fax: 781-862-0833 Web Site: http://www.upholdjustice.org Email: [email protected] Fa Wang Hui Hui – Database system dedicated to collecting information on the persecution of Falun Gong Web Site: http://www.fawanghuihui.org Email: [email protected] April 2004 Preface We have compiled this list of victims who were persecuted for their belief to appeal to the people of the world. We particularly appeal to the international communities and request investigation of this systematic, ongoing, egregious violation of human rights committed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China against Falun Gong. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice that includes exercise and meditation. Its principles are based on the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread throughout China and then beyond. By the end of 1998, by the Chinese government's own estimate, there were 70 - 100 million people in China who had taken up the practice, outnumbering Communist Party member. Despite the fact that it was good for the people and for the stability of the country, former President JIANG Zemin launched in July 1999 an unprecedented persecution of Faun Gong out of fears of losing control. Today the persecution of Falun Gong still continues in China. As of the end of March 2004, 918 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed to die from persecution. More than 100,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been detained and imprisoned. Those who openly express and practice their belief are met with tortures, arbitrary arrests and detentions. Forced Labor camps, mental hospitals, state-owned media and the law have been misused as tools of severe human rights violations. Force labor and selling organs of executed prisoners are still common. These violations have been extensively documented in numerous reports of the United Nations and international human rights organizations. Such reports include those issued by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, by United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Questions of Torture, by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary, or Arbitrary Executions, just to name a few. The cases documented in this collection are violations of some deeply held and universally acknowledged human rights that include the right to not be arbitrarily arrested, imprisoned and deprived of life; the right to not be subjected to torture and genocide; the right to hold and exercise views and beliefs freely and without interference; the right to liberty and security of the person; and the right to associate with others and to practice religious and spiritual beliefs without restriction. These rights are enshrined in a number of widely ratified international treaties. Among the specific human rights treaty standards violated by the Chinese Government are the Convention Against Torture, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Genocide Convention, and the United Nations Charter. Many of these same standards are embodied in customary international law and in jus cogens, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The exercise by the victims of these internationally recognized human rights, enshrined in both ii treaty and customary international law, and universally recognized as part of the law of nations, has been seriously and maliciously abridged by the policies and actions of the Chinese Government under JIANG Zemin and his cohorts acting under color of law and in their official and quasi-official capacities, clearly outside the scope of their lawful and legitimate authority. This submission represents tireless and heroic efforts by numerous individuals and human rights organizations during the past four years. The information contained herein are based primarily on accounts of eyewitnesses who are victims, relatives and friends of victims, neighbors, co- workers, journalists, and Chinese Government officials including policemen who wanted to put an end to the persecution. Our sources in China have taken tremendous risks in collecting and passing to us information to be included in this submission. We are ready to provide detailed information to assist investigations by international organizations, information that includes names, telephone numbers, addresses and other information identifying and locating the perpetrators. World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization with the mission to bring human rights violators to justice. It is focused on investigating and publishing human rights violations against Falun Gong. Fa Wang Hui Hui (FWHH) is a database system dedicated to collecting information on the persecution of Falun Gong.
