List of Falun Gong Persecutors Submitted to U.S. Government

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa Information Center (FDIC) and the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) submitted a list of perpetrators of the persecution of Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) in China to the United States Department of State and Department of the Treasury in July 2017.
FDIC and WOIPFG request the U.S. government to investigate and hold the perpetrators accountable by following the The Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
The Act was passed at the end of 2016. It allows the president to deny U.S. visas and freeze U.S.-based assets of human rights abusers and corrupt foreign officials. Many Chinese officials who have participated in the persecution of Falun Gong, especially those involved in the harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners, can be the targets of the law.
The list that FDIC and WOIPFG submitted includes perpetrators at various levels and positions who participated in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
In addition, according to Human Rights Watch website, a similar act is also available in Britain. The Canadian and European parliaments are considering similar legislation to target human right abusers in other countries.
FDIC and WOIPFG have not made public the list of the perpetrators they submitted to the U.S. government. They have announced that they will update the list at least once a year.
A Falun Gong practitioner involved in the collection of evidence of Chinese officials participating in the persecution indicated that the perpetrators must stop participating in the persecution for the good of themselves and their families. Those involved in the persecution will ultimately be brought to justice.
He also reminded the Falun Gong practitioners in China to collect evidence of the persecution and to submit it to Minghui.org. World governments will ultimately act to punish the human rights abusers, they feel, but will need detailed descriptions of the persecution that took place.

Background

Falun Gong was made public in 1992 and soon spread across China due to its beneficial effect on health improvement and morality. Near 100 million people practiced it by 1999. Out of jealousy, and paranoid of losing control of the people, Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), initiated the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners in the past 18 years. More have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang Zemin is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the Chinese Communist Party established an extralegal security organ, the “610 Office,” on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang’s directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
The CCP even conducts state-sanctioned live organ harvesting for lucrative profit. Due to CCP’s information censorship, the exact number of practitioners died in the persecution is not known.
