On the 6th of June 2006, after the hearing of witnesses, the criminal section of the Supreme Court of Spain decided to accept the appeal submitted by Falun Gong practitioners accusing Jia Qinglin, high official of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), of having committed genocide against Falun Gong and ordered the State Court of Spain to investigate and adjudicate the case.

Thereafter, the CCP regime brought forward its protest against the Spanish Government requesting the Government of Spain to intervene and the Supreme Court to withdraw the decision. The Vice President made a definite response to it: "Spain is a democratic country whose judiciary is independent and therefore the Government has no right to intervene in the case." All media in Spain reported the origin of the case for three days running, which drew the attention of the Spanish people.

On June 11, Falun Gong practitioners in Spain held a rally disclosing the CCP's atrocities at Puerto del Sol in the center of Madrid and collected signatures supporting the Supreme Court's decision of investigating the CCP official who has committed genocide. The activity was warmly supported by large numbers of Spanish people and thousands of signatures expressing support were collected.

Pictures disclosing the CCP atrocities drew the attention of people	From pictures, people got to know about the persecution of Falun Gong

Among the people who signed the petition supporting the Supreme Court to adjudicate and investigate the case of the CCP's high-ranking official who has committed the genocide were Spanish people of different ages and professions and tourists from all over the world. A student of Madrid University told the reporter: "Facing such an inhuman slaughter (referring to the atrocity of the CCP having removed organs from live Falun Gong practitioners and then burned their bodies to eliminate the evidence), everyone has a responsibility to stop it. It is for the Spanish Government to adhere to their principles and bravely stand up and have its say. We are a democratic country, justice is justice which no one can interfere with and put pressure on. I am proud of my country which can take charge of justice!"

"This is the glory of Spanish Law"

People were enthusiastically signing the petition expressing support

An aged gentleman, a university professor, came to front of the boards of pictures clarifying the truth. He was shocked and said: "How can it be possible? How is it possible that such a cruel deed has happened? Although the time of Franco was also an autocracy, such a horrible incident as removing organs from live people had never happened! The Spanish Court's acceptance of the case is a very right choice, which is to the glory of Spanish Law and will also add a glorious page to the history of Spain. Chinese people are the same as us and are entitled to know the facts. Once they know the truth, they will feel very sorry for their own fellow men who have been persecuted so cruelly and they will rise and resist it."

A young Chinese couple stopped in front of the pictures, and a Falun Gong practitioner gave them leaflets. At first, they felt reluctant to believe the persecution. After talking with the practitioner, they came to understand. The young man said: "The Communist Party are bandits!"

Shocked tourists from South Korea	After hearing the truth they signed the petition expressing support

After looking at pictures of the CCP policemen carrying out atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners, several tourists from South Korea were so shocked that they called to account loudly: "Why? Why?! Is this what the Chinese police have done? They have taken taxes paid by civilians and on the contrary, they have tyrannized them!" They all came and signed the petition expressing support for the decision of the Spanish Supreme Court.

A mother, together with her young daughter, also came to view the pictures. Pointing at the pictures, the mother told her daughter: "Look, on the same earth, there are people, who are the same as us, suffering from the persecution. Is it correct what they have done?" The little girl shook her head gravely, with her mouth closed lightly: "No!" Pointing at the policemen in the pictures, she said: "They are bad men!"

The mother said: "We should all help the Falun Gong practitioners, let's sign the petition! One more person signing the petition equals one more strong thought." Then the mother and the daughter signed the petition together.
