(Compiled and edited from Australian Falun Dafa Information Centre and Clearwisdom.net )

On October 19th, a local rally in front of the Chinese Consulate in Sydney marked the launch of "The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice" in Australia. This initiative is an international alliance organised by those who have suffered persecution under the Ex China's Leaders's [Jiang Zemin] dictatorship. It is dedicated to protecting the future of humanity with the purpose of stopping persecution and genocide in its tracks.

The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice is an independent non government organization committed to exposing the crimes against humanity as committed by Jiang Zemin and his accomplices. This Coalition is a non-profit organization and is currently operating with the contributions of many members who volunteer their time, effort, wisdom, and money. The Coalition welcomes more support from concerned organisations and kind-hearted people both inside and outside China so that its mission of stopping Jiang's crimes and restoring justice can be realized as soon as possible.

The Coalition has no political purpose or agenda. Anyone who is willing to sue Jiang can be part of it. The Coalition encourages all good people and concerned citizens throughout the world and also intends to work with the United Nations to initiate a criminal tribunal against Jiang.

The major media, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Epochtimes, Reuters, Sound of Hope, and NTD TV, also attended and interviewed the Coalition organiser and other speakers of the rally.

The rally began with a symbolic trial of Jiang Zemin.Then the host, Mr. Liu Song, gave a brief introduction about the founding of the Coalition. The Coalition has no political purpose or agenda; its goal is to unite all the forces of justice to expose Jiang's crimes and bring Jiang to justice. Anyone who wishes to support legal action against Jiang can be part of it. The Coalition appeals to all good people and concerned citizens throughout the world, and also intends to work with the United Nations to initiate a criminal tribunal against Jiang.

Mr. David Rubacek, spokesperson for the Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice and Mr. Yan Zhihui read the English and Chinese version of the declaration "Establishing of The Global Coalition To Bring Jiang To Justice." The declaration pointed out that during the 13 year rule of Jiang Zemin, China's civilization and moral values had declined, and the foundation of human civilization had suffered. Anyone holding beliefs and individuality independent of the Party and those who had different opinions were persecuted to different degrees. The declaration also stated the importance of the Coalition to bring Jiang to Justice.

Mr. John Daly, on behalf of the organizations that joined the coalition, gave an introduction of the lawsuits against Jiang Zemin in different countries around the world. He said the countries in which lawsuits have been submitted to courts include the US, Belgium, Spain etc. Falun Gong practitioners in Australia and other countries are preparing to bring lawsuits against Jiang. In France, Finland, and Armenia, several key persons who assisted Jiang in the persecution such as 610 office head Luo Gan, and Li Lanqing had been sued.

Chin Jin, Chairman of The Federation for a Democratic China (FDC) Australian Division said, "In the new round of economic progress, China's moral values are sliding down rapidly. The appearance of Falun Gong is to save the people from completely falling into an abyss. Falun Gong practitioners stand aloof from the world and only to seek a pure ground to cultivate. Jiang set up the Gastapo-like 610 offices to brutally persecute Falun Gong practitioners and supressed them with genocidal measures."

Dr Songfa Liu, representative of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, Australian Branch, Zhang Xiao Gang: Council member of the Federation for a Democratic China (FDC), Hang Ji Ren, Council member of the Chinese Alliance for Democracy (CAD) and Ms. Esther from theGlobal Committee to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, Australian Branch also spoke at the rally respectively.

Presently 86 organizations from the continents of Europe, America, Asia and Australia have joined the Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice. In Australia, the organizations joining the Coalition include Australian Peace Pen Association, Australia Wudang Qigong School, Federation for a Democratic China (FDC), Chinese Alliance for Democracy, Global Coalition Against Article 23 and of World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong Australian Branch, China Amnesty, etc.

Because Chinese President Hu Jintao will visit Australia soon, the rally of the Global Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice attracted the attention of all circles. The major media, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Epochtimes, Reuters, Sound of Hope, and NTD TV, also attended and interviewed the Coalition organizers and other speakers at the rally.

Mr. Hang Jiren, Council member of the Chinese Alliance for Democracy, (CAD) said that he came to attend the rally on behalf of the Chinese Alliance for Democracy." Through the rally we want to tell the Chinese government that crimes committed by individuals will be prosecuted sooner or later. They could not shirk their personal liability. They should learn from other countries' mistakes, such as the former East Germany. When it collapsed, the ruler, the policy-makers and those carried out the orders were all held responsible. Therefore he hoped that Chinese leaders would soberly pay attention to this point. In the meantime, he came here to express that people's rights are higher than everything else. He believed that Chinese people have the right to care about their own country, and care about what happens in China. We must oppose all evil, this is each person's duty."

Chin Jin, Chairman of The Federation for a Democratic China (FDC), Australian Division, expressed that all Chinese with a sense of justice and conscience should participate in this activity to bring Jiang Zemin to the court of morality and conscience. This is everybody's responsibility.


The day will come when Jiang is brought to trial
- by David Rubacek, spokesperson for the Global Coalition To Bring                               Jiang To Justice (Australia)

Jiang Zemin's Crimes are indeed too many. If they were discussed in detail, we would be here for days! If not Weeks!!! His crimes can be likened to the crimes committed during the Holocaust in World War 2, in both Scale and Intensity. Back then the investigators of the Holocaust remarked that these types of crimes are a direct threat to the survival of Humankind!

Fortunately, after Jiang's debut more than a decade ago, there have been glimmers of hope, where people thinking about their future, their children's future, the future of their country and humankind, had the thought, "This is not rigth, this is unfiar, this is immoral, and this cannot be tolerated anymore!"

This was the beginning, the roots of the coalition. A decade later, many lives have been needlessly lost. People lost their lives because they stood up and said "I care! I care about our future!" People have been killed for reading a book, for exercising, for mailing a letter and for helping others.

While Jiang's regime has been highly organised, funded and trained to carry out its crimes. The people that have been persecuted have usually been individuals, standing Alone, the only thing they have is their heart and their voice. This is now changing because we are coming together, people from different classes, spiritual beliefs and races. We are forming this coalition. No longer do we have to feel that Jiang's regime is too powerful and his resources to big. Working together we can accomplish this mission to bring Jiang to justice. To bring Jiang under the spotlight. To bring Jiang onto the international stage. And let him be judged in people's minds and hearts.

Finally the day will come when Jiang is brought to trial in his own country by his own people. Justice will be served.

How can we achieve this? We will share information, we will tell people the truth, our family, friends, people we meet, the media, government and ngos. Tell them about Jiang¡¯s crimes and that they can no longer be tolerated. Anyone who does this is automatically part of this coalition. Already lawsuits are occurring around the world suing Jiang and his accomplices. This has only been possible due to the free legal assistance provided by people who are aware of the truth and are aware that these lawsuits are of benefit to humankind.

Launching the Global Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice in Australia, I ask for those who have suffered, those who have been persecuted or who have been affected by Jiang's crimes to speak up with courage. You are not alone. Tell people around you and let them know that these crimes are unacceptable.
