(Clearwisdom.net) After a lawsuit filed by American Falun Gong practitioners against Bo Xilai for Genocide, Torture and Crimes Against Humanity, UK Falun Gong practitioners also recently entrusted an attorney to file a lawsuit against Bo Xilai for crimes of Torture against fellow Falun Gong practitioners in China. The Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard accepted the formal allegation made against Bo Xilai for serious crimes and a request for his arrest upon arrival in the UK by issuing a Crime Number.

Bo Xilai at present is visiting Europe with a delegation led by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. The delegation arrived in the UK on May 9. During the Chinese delegation's visit, UK Falun Gong practitioners have been appealing to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and condemn Jiang Zemin's cohorts, like Bo Xilai, who are responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong.

Bo Xilai enthusiastically follows Jiang Zemin to persecute Falun Gong. During his term as mayor of Dalian City from 1993 to 2001, Dalian 's persecution of Falun Gong was one of the most severe of all the cities in China. At least fifteen Falun Gong practitioners have been verified as being persecuted to death. During his term as governor of Liaoning Province from January 2001 to February 2004, Liaoning's persecution of Falun Gong was also one of the most severe of all the provinces in China. Up to December 1, 2003, at least 90 Falun Gong practitioners have been verified as being persecuted to death, ranking fourth in the country. The persecution means are extremely brutal in many labor camps of Liaoning Province, such as in Masanjia Labor Camp, Da Bei Jail, Dalian Re-Education Center and so on.
