Description

Introduction In Zhang v Zemin (1) the NSW Supreme Court was asked to consider a civil action for torture and other human rights abuses raised by a member of the Falun Gong movement, allegedly perpetrated by organs of the People's Republic of China ('PRC') in the territory of that State. In the statement of claim, the plaintiff named the defendants as former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, the '610 Office' (the government bureau charged with the control and suppression of the Falun Gong) and a senior member of the Communist Party of China, Luo Gan. The plaintiff requested that the Court enter a default judgment against the defendants, citing their lack of response to the statement of claim, at which point the Commonwealth Attorney-General intervened, issuing a certificate that affirmed the immunity of all defendants in accordance with s 40 of the Foreign States Immunities Act 1985 (Cth) ('FSIA').
