Through the political campaign to eliminate Falun Gong, Jiang has been trying to spiritually control the entire Chinese society. The persecution is having a deep and destructive effect on the morality and conscience of the overseas Chinese as well as of the entire mankind. The evilness and terrorism exerted through the persecution not only completely overwhelm China, but also have impacted the world - the extent of the damage is unprecedented in the human society. Professor He said that now people in and out of China, Chinese or westerners, many of them have already come to know the existence and brutality of the persecution. People would fight against the persecution of Falun Gong if not pressured or influenced by material interests. However, when they are threatened that: If you are not consistent with "the leadership," you will lose your job; your reputation will be damaged; you will be listed as "a force that is against China" and lose your commercial opportunities in China, etc., then the people change their minds, regardless of the widespread and continuous persecution of human rights and beliefs. Some people even go and support the tyrant. Such damage and harm done to people's spiritual mindset and social conscience cannot be counted by monetary means.


In its founding statement, the Coalition also pointed out, "the people of the world should not tolerate Jiang's 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 befalls us, and the existence of civilization itself will face the most severe challenge."

"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, the court of morality and the court of law - this is our obligated historic mission."


Mr. Wei Jingsheng expressed in his speech that, the founding of the Coalition shows that the Chinese people not only possess the quality of compassion, but also the courage to uphold justice. Nevertheless, to reprimand the crimes of the past is to set precedence for people today. At the same time, the current purpose of this coalition is to serve as a warning for the Chinese officials who choose to persecute innocent civilians, to limit their unjust actions and to reduce the number of persecutions taking place in mainland China today.

Mr. Tang Boqiao, the president of China Peace, quoted a famous author to describe the situation in China, "China has an old saying, that the officials force the people to revolt, but under the current circumstances, the officials are forcing the people to die." He said that China has become a country with soaring suicide rates because everyday people's basic rights to even defend themselves have been forcefully taken away.

Dr. He Haiying, one of the contact persons for the Preparation Committee of the Coalition, pointed out, "After the Second World War, a new crime was introduced based upon the violent massacres induced by the Nazis, and this was called 'Genocide.' The crimes that Jiang has committed however, go not only as far as physically destroying religious organizations and individuals but he's also demolishing people's basic morals and human consciousness. This new crime that Jiang has committed can be referred to as 'Morality Genocide.'"

Dr. He also said that at this time, the news of the founding of the Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice has spread to mainland China and the Coalition has received numerous direct responses in regards to this news. Many of the responses were written by ordinary workers and students, they expressed their desire for the news of the Coalition to spread further and faster. Anyone that supports the efforts to bring Jiang to trial is welcome to join this Coalition.


Falun Gong representative Chen Gang also commented by describing how he was detained in a labor camp for eighteen months because of his belief in Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance. In these eighteen months, among the various physical and mental tortures, he was forcefully kept awake for fifteen consecutive days and was shocked in sensitive parts and areas of his body with high voltage electric batons. At one time, he had his head tied to his legs and was shoved under a low level bed with a heavy object resting on top. This incident almost resulted in the breaking of his spinal cord and caused him to not be able to walk normally for two weeks. Mr. Chen's portrayal of his horrific experience further reflected the degree of persecution and atrocity that Jiang Zemin has directed against Falun Gong.
