(Minghui.org) With criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese Communist regime, gaining momentum, six practitioners from Yueyang City Hunan Province recently filed separate lawsuits.

Ms. Li Gehui, wife of Mr. Hu Heping, filed the complaint on behalf of her husband, who died on August 7, 2008, less than two months after his release from a detention center.
Mr. Hu was sentenced to forced labor and detained 5 times over the course of the persecution.
Mr. Hu was arrested on March 12, 2003, sentenced to two years of forced labor at the Xinkapu Forced Labor Camp in Hunan Province and released at the end of 2004.
For refusing to give up his belief, he was injected with unknown drugs three times. After the injections, Mr. Hu came down with a deep persistent cough and bleeding. However guard Cai Hejun ignored his distress and ordered inmate Huang to slap him with his shoes, force him to stand still and deprive him of sleep for seven days.
He was arrested again on March 18, 2008 and taken to the Luowang Police Station. From the station he was taken to the Dongting Hotel in the early afternoon, where he was interrogated through the night. He was transferred to the Yueyang City Detention Center the next day.
While in detention, Mr. Hu's health deteriorated. He was in pain, his urine turned red, his legs were swollen, he could not stop coughing and his weight dropped from 127 pounds to 90 pounds.
He was taken to a hospital on June 16, 2008. Doctors said he had an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and his organs festered.
The Yeyanglou District Domestic Security Division and 610 Office refused to release him until he was at death's door. He was released on bail on June 18, 2008. He never recovered and died in the early morning of August 7.

For practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Xu has been detained three times and Ms. Fang five times.
According to Ms. Fan, her house was ransacked multiple times between 1999 and 2008. The persecutors confiscated personal belongings, including a television, video recorder and books.

She was transferred to a brainwashing center at Xiuhuayuan Village, Rongjiawan District, Yueyang County the following morning. She was forced to watch videos slandering Falun Gong and its founder, whom practitioners call Master, and threatened for 20 days.
Although she refused to write or sign statements claiming remorse for having practiced Falun Gong, promising to renounce Falun Gong, and never again associating with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, they forced her fingerprint onto such documents.
The authorities released her after extorting money from her daughter and son-in-law. They continued to monitor her at home and harassed her.

Zhu Chunxiu, 66, retired from the Construction Bureau of Junshan District Yuanyang City, recounts that she was arrested at the train station in December 2000 for trying to go to Beijing to peacefully protest for the right to practice Falun Gong. She was not released until they had extorted 4,000 yuan from her son-in-law.
Police from the Luowang Police Station took her to a detention center in July 2002, and extorted 5,000 yuan.
When trying to visit her daughter in July 2003, she was arrested and taken to a police station. Police extorted 2,000 yuan from her husband. They ransacked her home and confiscated her Falun Gong books. They also kept about 5,000 yuan, one year's worth of her salary.
Her husband divorced her under pressure.
Ms. Li Junzhi: Reported to and Arrested by Police

Background
In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners in the past 16 years. More have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang Zemin is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the Chinese Communist Party established an extralegal security organ, the “610 Office,” on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
