Spanish court issues arrest warrant for former Chinese leader's role in genocide

The Spanish High Court Judge, Ismael Moreno, today issued an arrest warrant for the former Chinese President, Jiang Zemin, ex-Prime Minister, Li Peng and three other officials alleging responsibility for alleged genocide in Tibet.

The court ordered that the official’s details be handed over to Interpol for their role in alleged “genocide, torture and crimes against humanity.”


Several International human rights and pro-Tibetan groups have been working with Spanish laws that allow suspects to be pursued for human rights abuses committed abroad when a Spanish victim is involved.
