An organization called the Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice announced its founding on September 30th in Washington DC. This coalition is established to stop the crimes committed by former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin as charged by the coalition. The organization will hold its first assembly in New York on October 6th.

The Preparation Committee for the Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice said in their statement that "the past thirteen years of Jiang Zemin's rule, which have been filled with violence and deception, have seen Chinese civilization and social morality thoroughly damaged. His crimes in China have threatened the very basic values upon which civilization is based. Almost all individuals and large groups wishing to express independent beliefs, mindsets, different ways of thinking or demands, including the students who appealed for democracy on June 4, 1989, laid-off workers, religious believers, qigong practitioners, human rights and democracy advocates, journalists and media workers, and political activists have all suffered persecution to various degrees. In particular, hundreds of millions of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in 'Truth-Compassion-Tolerance' have suffered brutal persecution aimed to 'defame their reputation, bankrupt them financially, destroy them physically.'"

The Preparation Committee pointed out, "the most brutal and shameful atrocities in human history have taken place during Jiang Zemin's rule and are still ongoing. The atrocities committed by Jiang and the corrupt regime he represents have not only caused the physical annihilation of many innocent lives, but also the distortion and destruction of the moral principles that we as humans all share. The latter crime is more damaging, as it has deeper, longer and more destructive implications."

"The people of the world should not tolerate his crimes. We know that if these crimes continue and are not stopped, and if we still remain silent when faced with such atrocities and open destruction of human morality, it's only a matter of time before the same disaster will befall us, and the existence of civilization itself will face the most severe challenge."

"Falun Gong practitioners have already filed lawsuits against Jiang in foreign countries around the world. Because of people's lack of understanding about Jiang's crimes, the financial and political pressure, or out of consideration for the financial interest of one's country, there have been obstacles. In order to truly bring Jiang Zemin to a historic trial, it is necessary for all supporters of justice in the world to join and push this forward from all directions."

The Preparation Committee also said, "Since our first call for justice, we have received support from individuals and organizations around the world. These individuals and organizations cover different professions, nationalities and ethnicities, beliefs, ways of thinking, and missions. During the past one plus month, nearly 100 individuals and organizations in Europe, America, Asia and Australia have joined our cause or coalition. We shall gather all forces of justice, expose all of Jiang's crimes, uphold human dignity and human civilization, and inevitably bring Jiang Zemin to the court of conscience, morality and law."
