(Minghui.org) As of the end of March this year, 1,183 civilians in Donggang City have signed a petition demanding that the authorities stop the persecution of Falun Gong. The petitioners also requested that Jiang Zemin, former Chinese dictator who launched the persecution in July 1999, be brought to justice for the crimes he committed against Falun Gong practitioners. The petition listed five documented cases of practitioners in Donggang who died, and two who had mental breakdowns due to the torture they suffered.
