Li Peng gone… Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao still WANTED.
Li Peng: Obituary of an alleged criminal.
Li Peng, former Prime Minister of China during the Tibetan repression in the late 80´s y early 90´s
Dies after having been accused of and indicted for genocide, torture, state terrorism and crimes against humanity at the Spanish National Court (Audiencia Nacional) who ordered his international arrest warrant for questioning on the 8th of January 2014. Judicial decision motivated by the following fact and evidence presented by Comité de Apoyo al Tíbet (CAT) to the Spanish Judge Ismael Moreno.
As was stated in the original lawsuit and on the adjoining reports (LAWASIA Law Association for Asia and the Pacific – TIN Tibet Information Network: Defying the Dragon. China and Human Rights in Tibet, Manila, London March 1991 and The International Commission of Jurist: Human Rights and the rule of law, Geneva, Dec. 1997), the first wave of repression in 1987 was the result of a Chinese Government Campaign called “Strike Hard” against Splittism) designed by the high spheres of power in Beijing and lead by the defendant and then Prime Minister Li Peng, who after the first peaceful protests, on the 27 of Sept. 1987, in a public speech instigated to eliminate all Tibetans who demonstrated who he called “splittists”.
In addition, as stated on the expert’s report from Human Rights Law Foundation, page 13: “It is important to highlight that in 1990 the then Prime Minister Li Peng officially announced that family planning policies should not only be quantitative but also “qualitative”. He said that birth control should be carried on in order “to improve the quality of the population” (emphasis added), and not only to limit the number of births. This view is not only used to restrict that persons with hereditary diseases o malformations have children, but to impede births in the Tibetan population. The Autonomous Region of Tibet represents 25% of the the total Chinese territory, but Tibetans only represent 0.5% of the total Chinese population. Tibetan territory has therefore a very low population density in comparison with China.
Therefore “the policies of the Ministry of Family Planning in the Tibet Autonomous Region are not aimed, as tends to be the case in the Chinese One-Child policy to reduce the country´s overpopulation, but to simply reduce the Tibetan population as a specific ethnic and religious group”.
It is also important to remember that the declaration in front of Judge Ismael Moreno of US doctor Blake Kerr revealed as witness the killing of Tibetans by Chinese security forces in the Autumn of 1987. In this context he recalled with personal and special details the events of the 1st of October 1987 when on that same precise day in the morning, Prime Minister Li Peng instigated in public speech to the elimination of protesters who he called “splittists”, as mentioned before by another report.
Further still, in this moment of truth and remembrance in the face of death, as Kate Saunders ratified in the Spanish National Court, the Martial Law of 8th of March 1989 imposed over Tibet was signed by President of the State Council, Li Peng, and so it appears in writing in an official document of the Chinese Government, Beijing Home Service 7/3/89; SWB 9/3/89. Similarly the devastating effects of said martial law have been abundantly accredited in the judicial proceedings during the last seven years.
