Wei Jingsheng Gives Speech in Washington, DC:
Putting Jiang on Trial Equals Putting All Dictators of the World on Trial
Wei Jingsheng participated in and give a speech at a public gathering with
the theme of "Putting Jiang Zemin on Trial" held on June 17, 2003 at the
Liberty Square in Washington, DC, the US capital.
Mr. Wei pointed out that it was indeed necessary to file suit against Jiang
Zemin, former president of the Chinese communist regime, now. He expressed
that the purpose of his special trip in spite of the rain to participate in
the gathering was to express his support for the actions of Falun Gong
followers to sue Jiang Zemin.
As for the head-of-state immunity claimed by the Chinese communist regime,
Mr. Wei pointed out that, "according to the old international law, a head of
a state, even a retired one, indeed enjoys the head-of-state immunity.
However, the trend of the world is changing. People are reaching a consensus
on the principle of 'human rights are superior to sovereignty.' Although a
head of a state enjoys the immunity, if he has committed crimes against
humanity, then his immunity can and shall be challenged, which means the
possibility of holding him legally responsible. That is, if we sue him in a
democratic country, we may succeed in court, although the ruling may not be
enforced."
"We have already sued Li Peng and sued Jiang Zemin," he said. "There will be
a day when we shall succeed in enforcement as well. That is, when the
dictatorial regime collapses, all these crimes will be brought to trial in
Chinese courts. Some friends may wonder, since he cannot be arrested now,
what's the purpose of suing him? I think this action is very meaningful.
That's because in the past, there were people who thought when someone became
a head or high official of a state, he could not be held accountable for
crimes he committed. Currently, the international law is moving toward
emphasizing more on humanity and human rights. Those who commit crimes
against humanity shall eventually be punished."
"We already have some successes in this aspect," said Wei Jingsheng. "For
examples, both Pinochet and Milosevic were sued. We need to hold on to our
principles and our position. We will send him to prison eventually. More
importantly, by putting a few dictators on trial, we actually put all
dictators around world on trial. Let's be persistent. Persistence, and
patience, is the key. We shall be more patient than the dictators. We shall
be like a cat, waiting patiently, waiting to catch the rat at the end."

魏京生华府演讲：审江等于审判全世界所有暴君
6月17日，魏京生参加美国首都华盛顿的自由广场"将江泽民送上法庭"的公衆集会支持法轮功学员在美国起诉江泽民，他认爲现在起诉江泽民很有必要。他透露，他特别冒雨赶到这里，就是想表达对法轮功学员起诉江泽民行动的支持。
对于中共提出元首豁免权的问题。魏京生说："按照旧的国际法，国家元首的确享有元首豁免权，即使是退休的元首。但是世界潮流正在变化，大家都同意一个原则：人权高于主权。虽然一个国家的元首享有豁免权，如果他犯了反人类的罪，那么这个豁免权就是可疑的了，也就是说他承担责任在法律上是两可之间的事情了，也就是说我们在民主国家起诉他，可能从法庭这个角度上说可以成功。但在执行方面可能无法成功。"
他说："我们已经告了李鹏，告了江泽民，总有那么一天，我们在执行上也能成功。也就是当中国的专制政权垮台的时候，这些罪的罪行上都会被提出来，会在中国的法庭受到起诉，有的朋友可能会说现在也不能把他抓起来，告了他有什么用呢，我觉得这样的作法非常有意义，因为过去有些人认为他当了国家元首或大官以后，他犯了法就可以不承担责任，
现在的国际法逐渐向讲人道，讲人权，方向转化，就是如果你犯下了全人类公认的反人道罪的话，你最终会受到惩罚。"
魏京生说："在这方面我们已经有了成功的经验，比如我们已经告了皮诺切特，米洛舍维其。所以我们要坚持自己的道理，自己的立场，最终我们会把这个家伙送到监狱里去，而且更重要的是，我们审判了几个暴君，等于审判了全世界所有的暴君，我们的作法不仅是在保护我们的法轮功朋友的权利，而且是在保护我们全中国人民，全世界人民的权利。希望大家坚持下去，最重要的是这个坚持，这个耐心，我们一定要比那些专制统治者更有耐心，我们要像猫一样，耐心地等待，我们最后一定会等到这个耗子。"
