(Minghui.org) More than 103,000 legal complaints have been filed against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), who is responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong. More and more, complaints are being filed by practitioners who live outside of mainland China. Fourteen practitioners in Hong Kong recently sent out their criminal complaints to the Chinese Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Fourteen Falun Gong practitioners in Hong Kong have filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin.
The plaintiffs are Li Huijing, Zhou Sheng, Lin Shaomei, Hu Zijiao, Yuan Yangchun, Zhang Yucheng, Fu Xueying, Zeng Qiaochan, Yang Xiaolan, Ye Xiuli, Liao Ningying, Liao Xinlan, Liu Ding, and Zhang Jie. They are Falun Gong practitioners working in fields such as technology, education, business, as well as others. They have personally benefited from practicing Falun Gong, but suffered from the persecution Jiang launched in 1999.
Three Years of Torture
Fu Xueying has filed her second lawsuit against Jiang.
Fu Xueying started practicing Falun Gong in northeast China in 1996 and later moved to Shenzhen in southern China. Back in 2003, she was imprisoned for 6 months for distributing CDs that explain the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong. She was thrown into Women's Prison of Guangdong Province in May 2004.
Ms. Fu was devastated by a total of 3 years of torture. She said, “The CCP utilized my family members to pressure me. I was threatened with additional prison terms, and lived in solitary confinement almost everyday.”
Ms. Fu, together with another Falun Gong practitioner, Zhu Keming, filed a lawsuit against Jiang for illegal imprisonment and torture at a Hong Kong court in 2007.
Seven Years of Torture
Yang Xiaolan sues Jiang for 7 years of brutal torture.
Ms. Yang Xiaolan used to have several diseases, but her health was restored after she started practicing Falun Gong. She went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution several times, but ended up being thrown into a labor camp and prison.
For close to 7 years, she suffered various brutal tortures while in custody, including being poked on the breast with a needle. She told the Minghui reporter, “Such tragedies are happening to Falun Gong practitioners. If we don't step out to tell the world, such things may happen to any Chinese.”
