Argentine Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Top Chinese Officials

On December 17, an Argentine judge issued arrest warrants for two former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. It’s for their role in crimes against humanity committed against Falun Gong practitioners.

The judge’s order means that if the accused travel to a country that has an extradition treaty with Argentina, they could be detained and transported to Argentina for trial.

The accused are:
• Former head of the CCP Jiang Zemin, who spearheaded the campaign to persecute Falun Gong starting in 1999; and
• Former Politburo member Luo Gan, who oversaw the 610 Office, a Gestapo-like organization created to eradicate the spiritual group.

The ruling is similar to a decision in Spain last month, which called for the extradition of five top CCP officials on similar charges.

The ruling in Argentina is the first time an international capture order has been issued in the country to pursue crimes against humanity. It calls on the local Interpol department to seek out and arrest the two Chinese officials.

[Alejandro Cowes, Lawyer for Plaintiff]:
“From this order, Interpol has the possibility, or rather the duty, to—wherever they find them—capture, detain, place in solitary confinement, and bring them before the judge.”

In the landmark 146-page decision by Argentina federal court judge Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid, he writes: “The genocidal strategy … comprised a broad range of actions arranged in total contempt for life and human dignity.” He further writes that, “Torment, torture, disappearances, deaths, brainwashing, psychological torture were everyday occurrences.”

[Alejandro Cowes, Lawyer for Plaintiff]:
“This ruling sets the opening of universal jurisdiction for claims by victims of states committing crimes against humanity…If other nations follow the same step this could effectively put pressure on the CCP that is currently governing the country and allow a change to happen.”

Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese discipline of meditation and exercises, whose teaching are based on the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. After Falun Gong gained enormous popularity in China, the Communist Party ordered it to be suppressed and launched a campaign of persecution that’s been ongoing for more than 10 years.

NEW YORK -- In a landmark decision, an Argentine judge indicted and ordered the local Interpol department to seek the arrest of two high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials on Thursday for their role in crimes against humanity committed against Falun Gong practitioners. The ruling follows a similar decision in Spain last month, when the Spanish National Court indicted five top CCP leaders for their involvement in genocide and torture against Falun Gong.

The two defendants in the Argentina case are former CCP head Jiang Zemin, widely acknowledged as the chief instigator of the campaign to ?eradicate? the spiritual practice; and Luo Gan, a former Politburo member who oversaw the 610 Office, an extralegal security agency that has led the violent campaign.

?Jiang and Luo's actions long ago placed them in the same category as the Augusto Pinochets, Slobodan Milosevics, and Charles Taylors of the world,? says Falun Gong spokesperson Erping Zhang. ?International justice mechanisms are now catching up with these two as well."

"This decision is particularly historic because it is not only seeking to bring perpetrators to justice after the fact, it is also coming at a time when these crimes are ongoing. The arrest and prosecution of these two men could literally prevent further torture and killing of innocent Chinese citizens."

Following a four-year long investigation, Argentine judge Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid of Federal Court No. 9 issued a 146-page decision and related orders on December 17. The document offers a detailed and damning assessment of the CCP?s persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China and the role that the two top officials played.

?The genocidal strategy ? comprised a broad range of actions arranged in total contempt for life and human dignity,? says Lamadrid?s decision. ?The designated purpose - the eradication of Falun Gong - was used to justify any means used. Therefore, torment, torture, disappearances, deaths, brainwashing, psychological torture were everyday occurrences in the persecution of its practitioners.?

The judge concludes the decision by issuing a national and international order to capture the pair to be carried out by the Interpol Department of the Federal Police of Argentina. As such, should the accused former officials travel to other countries that have extradition treaties with Argentina, they will ostensibly face being detained and transferred to Argentina to be brought before a court.

According to the attorneys who initially filed the case on behalf of Falun Gong victims, Dr. Alejandro Cowes and Dr. Adolfo Casabal Elia, the judge's decision was based on evidence that included the oral testimonies of 17 victims of torture and other forms of persecution.
The judge also took into account the testimony of two medical doctors, United Nations reports, and research by human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

?The CCP has already exerted tremendous political and economic pressure to squelch this and similar lawsuits,? says Zhang. ?All the more reason why Judge Lamadrid should be applauded for his integrity and impartiality in handling this case. We urge the Argentine authorities to remain vigilant in the face of the CCP's pressure and continue the historic process of bringing these criminals to justice.?

The decision was taken under the legal principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows domestic courts to hear cases of genocide and crimes against humanity regardless of where they occur.

?I understand that in the present case the principle of universal jurisdiction must be applied in view of the [severity of the] crimes, the number of victims affected, and the ideological nature of the actions taken against members of the Falun Gong religious group,? the judge said in his ruling.

The judge should had issued arrest warrant for Lee Kuan Yew, who is also wanted by FLG people and many other Singaporeans for political persecutions and corruption.

I will go to Argentina and.....

Is it judge Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid of Federal Court No. 9?

Jiang Zemin crimes against Falun Gong need 4 years investigations but Bandit King LKY crimes against Singaporeans for 40+ years don't need so long.

I will fly to Buenos Aires soon. The evidences are clear. It's straight forward. Within 3 months everything will be settled. Bao Qingtian de Lamadrid will issue arrest warrants for LKY very soon.

LKY days are numbered...

No use lah the stupid old dog's old tricks no longer work. He is now unable to escape his fate with his old loser tricks. He will be taken down by those who he bade bankrupt and put in jail. His own turn will arrive before his death to be in jail and bankrupted.

how refreshing to see a legal system where no one is above the law.

The Argentines hasn't solved their own "missings" and they have the nerve to charge others. What a fucking Chutzpah.

On March 24th, 1976, a coup d'etat reverses the president. Jorge Rafael Videla constitutes a military junta “to fight subversion”. The assessment is very heavy: 30,000 missings, died under the torture or carried out and thrown overboard from helicopters whilst alive.....

You make your own judgement.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo
Continuing Repression

The ongoing work of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo has not gone on unnoticed. It has earned them international awards from bodies such as UNESCO and the European Parliament. It has also been met with harassment and repression. Three of the organization’s founding members have joined the ranks of the disappeared since its work began. They also frequently endure threats and their organization’s offices in downtown Buenos Aires are often broken into.

None of these things deter the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. They remain defiant in wanting to continue their work and that of their children. To that end one of their more recent initiatives has been to establish a popular university based in their offices. Its goal is to educate youth to engage in political action. Inspired by this project one of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo recently proclaimed that they want to give youth dreams and ethics and a love for political struggle to solve the problems of the people.

no country is perfect, ethics is always a struggle, and to see here a judge that Themis would be proud of, gives me some feeble dim hope for humanity.

The West want to attack the Chinese again, a repeat of 1840s - the Opium War and later the ba kuo lian koon (8 countries attack China).

You are saying that soon, we do not have that 'mark', we can not trade, buy food?. In SINgapore, we have this mark, "U", and soon, you have to be member to buy your food, supplies, your needs from cradle to death, for one and all will be owned & linked to "U", by proxies.

The "U" will be linked to a bigger "U", which is PRC...a picture of doom is forming on the horizon...

Are "U" a member?
