Mr. Fang Qicai

Mr. Fang Qicai, 50, went to another practitioner’s home in Hengshan District on February 7, 2002.

Meng shot him in the left leg, and fractured a bone in his lower leg.

Mr. Jiang Honglu

When he fell down after being shot, officers Meng and Du Yongshan ran up to him and kicked him in the head. Mr. Jiang fainted. Due to the ferocious beating, he had a two-inch-long wound on his head, his face was disfigured, his left eye was swollen, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Criminal Complaints Against Jiang Zemin

More than 3,000 people in Jixi City have filed criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), for launching the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Among them are cadres, teachers, workers, farmers, and the self-employed. Many kind-hearted people have also signed petitions to show their support.

More than 3,000 people filed criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin.

One supporter said, “Jiang Zemin is a very bad person. He should be sued.” 

Others who were persecuted said, “I have long wanted to sue him!”

One farmer said, “People have suffered too much under Jiang Zemin. He should have been sued long ago.”

An elderly person, who had signed his name, told his son who lives in another city about it. The son asked him to write his name on his behalf.

Relatives of Falun Gong practitioners also shared their persecution experience.

“I was only eight years old when the persecution started”

My family and I heard about Falun Gong in May 1998. After practicing Falun Gong, I never catch a cold even during the flu season. I was only eight when the persecution started a year later. My family was sent to a forced labor camp and prisons many times. My mother was sent to a forced labor camp. I took care of my grandmother at home but the police monitored me and called my school. I was forced to drop out of school and had to leave home to avoid further persecution.

My uncle suffered an illness when he was on his way to visit my father in the labor camp. He passed away shortly after. My grandmother also died in 2012. Despite my young age, I had already experienced many sorrows. Nothing could express our family’s suffering.

Mr. Xue Chengyu and his wife began to practice Falun Gong in 1998. He could not bear the threat and intimidation and stopped practicing after the practice was banned in 1999.
