(Minghui.org) Authorities in Shandong Province recently approved the arrest of Ms. Li Yuling, a 60-year-old Falun Gong practitioner, who recently filed a criminal complaint against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese communist regime.

Given that the arrest was approved, Ms. Li, a retired worker from the Dahe Cotton Mill, most likely faces an illegal trial in the local court system.

The local police called her in mid-October regarding her lawsuit against Jiang. She confirmed that she had indeed filed it.

A group of police officers arrived at her home at around 2 p.m. on November 25, 2015. Ms. Li refused to open her door because two of her neighbors had been arrested that morning for suing Jiang Zemin.

The police climbed over the wall and entered her house. They ransacked her home and confiscated many of her personal belongings. They then took her to the Shanggao Police Station. She was interrogated and then taken to a hospital for a checkup. Then, they took her to a detention center, where she is still detained. Her arrest was approved on December 31, 2015.

Ms. Li's family has been harassed by police over 20 times since she was arrested. The police has also installed two surveillance cameras outside her home.

They asked Ms. Li to identify more than 40 local Falun Gong practitioners from pictures they had taken.

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 over 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.
