(Minghui.org) Ms. Song Zhanbiao, an associate professor at the Quality Control Institute of Hebei University, filed criminal complaints with the Chinese Supreme Procuratorate against former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin for his persecution of Falun Gong. As a result, she was harassed and is now no longer allowed to teach.

After learning of the complaints, Hebei University ordered the Quality Control Institute's management to demand that Ms. Song sign guarantee statements denouncing Falun Gong. Otherwise they would carry out the persecution orders from the Baoding City 610 Office. Ms. Song refused, and told them that what they were doing was illegal. Unable to withstand subsequent pressure from the university, the institute revoked Ms. Song's right to teach students this semester.

Ms. Song, 52, started practicing Falun Gong 19 years ago. She filed criminal complaints with the Supreme Procuratorate on June 20, 2015. Using the excuse that they were verifying names for the Supreme Procuratorate, the Baoding 610 Office ordered staff from the Shuancai Community, and officers from the Hepingli Police Station, to harass her and her husband. They threatened her and told her she had to sign the documents denouncing Falun Gong, and if she refused she would be targeted for persecution, including not being allowed to teach and being removed from her current position. They also sent the materials to the Stability Maintenance Office of Hebei University.

The neighborhood association director of the Shuancai Community went with a police officer to Ms. Song's home on December 15, 2015. They threatened her husband and made him sign an interrogation record, and took his photo. They have been monitoring Ms. Song's home since December 17.

Background

In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other members of the Politburo Standing Committee 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 communist regime established an extralegal security organization, 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 its citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
