A hearing today will decide whether or not the federal government will be allowed
to intervene in the civil action against a Chinese official for his role in
the torture and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Guangdong province,
China.
The Federal Attorney General’s Department intervened yesterday to stop a default judgement in the Supreme Court of NSW against a high-ranking Chinese government official for his role in the torture and persecution of two Sydney Falun Gong practitioners while they were in China. The Attorney General’s department had received correspondence from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in relation to the case.
