Falun Gong members sue Cisco for helping China build Golden Shield to track
dissidents

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement have filed a
lawsuit against Cisco Systems Inc. accusing it of supplying the Chinese
government with computer-networking equipment used to spy on and persecute
dissidents.
In a lawsuit filed last week, a group of Falun Gong practitioners alleges
that Cisco provided networking gear and technical assistance to build and
operate an elaborate system of Internet controls used by the Chinese
government to track the online behavior of its citizens and block content it
does not like.
The lawsuit accuses Cisco of aggressively marketing and customizing its
products for the system, known as the Golden Shield Project, with the
understanding that the technology would be used for spying on dissident
groups such as the Falun Gong. By using Cisco equipment, the lawsuit said,
government officials were able to monitor dissidents' activities, including
online meetings of Falun Gong congregations. The lawsuit said some
dissidents were detained, tortured and even killed as a result; others
disappeared.
The lawsuit also names Cisco's top executives, including CEO John Chambers.
In a statement, Cisco rejected the allegations.
"Cisco does not operate networks in China or elsewhere, nor does Cisco
customize our products in any way that would facilitate censorship or
repression," the company said. "Cisco builds equipment to global standards
which facilitate free exchange of information, and we sell the same
equipment in China that we sell in other nations worldwide in strict
compliance with U.S. government regulations."
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction barring
Cisco from engaging in "future unlawful activity."
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif.,
where Cisco has its headquarters. The law firm of Schwarcz, Rimberg, Boyd &
Rader and the Human Rights Law Foundation, a nonprofit group in Washington,
brought the case under a U.S. law that allows foreign nationals to sue in
federal court over violations of international law. | s*****2
