Statement by WOIPFG'S Investigation Committee for the "Self-immolation Incident at Tiananmen Square"
(Clearwisdom.net) The incomparably cunning and wicked Chinese Communist
Party went to tremendous lengths to fool the entire world, and they almost
succeeded. At around 5:00 p.m. on January 23, 2001 (Chinese New Year's eve), the Xinhua
News Agency released a news story to the whole world, in the English language.
They claimed that a shocking "self-immolation" incident occurred at
2:41 p.m. at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. On the same day, Xinhua News Agency
also released the news in Chinese at 5:28 p.m. The Chinese news said,
"...under instigation from the teachings of the [Jiang's slanderous term
deleted] organization, 'consummation and rise up to the heaven', one
man and four women lit up gasoline and burned themselves alive at Tiananmen
Square at 2:40 p.m. today." Ever since Xinhua News Agency released the news, a large-scale conspiracy of
overwhelming deception and lies instantly spread throughout China and almost the
entire world. It was as if they eclipsed the sky and blanketed the earth.The
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used this to intensify the persecution of Falun
Gong and to gain support from a great number of hoodwinked people. These people
directly or indirectly supported the persecution or considered it an acceptable
act. Immediately following this deceptive propaganda, the number of kind-hearted
and innocent Falun Dafa practitioners killed by the Communist regime escalated.
As of today, the number of confirmed death cases is 2,840. Millions of
practitioners have been detained, beaten for persisting in their belief and for
appealing for justice regarding Falun Gong. Their homes were ransacked and their
personal property was looted. Many of them suffered unbearable humiliations.
Hundreds of thousands of practitioners are subjected to long-term sentences in
prisons, detention centers, mental hospitals and various brainwashing facilities
under different disguises. Countless families have been torn apart, while
numerous practitioners' relatives and friends have been implicated. At least
10,000 children became orphans, leading miserable and tragic lives. All these
atrocities are being covered up by the Chinese Communist regime using all kinds
of ignoble methods. The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG)
announced its establishment on January 21, 2003. It was formed in order to
investigate the crimes of the instigators of the persecution, Jiang Zemin's gang
and the Chinese Communist Party; in order to uphold justice and restore truth to
history; in order to help those precious Chinese people who unknowingly
committed crimes against the truth while deceived by fabricated lies and rumors
to rectify their shameful acts; and for the sake of the future of the Chinese
people and nation. On the same day, an Investigative Committee of the "Self-immolation
Incident at Tiananmen Square" was established as a subordinate committee
under the WOIPFG. They immediately launched a comprehensive investigation of the
so-called "self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square." Three years have passed. We have been carrying out our mission for 1,095 days
and nights. It has become vividly obvious to us how, through the instructions of
Jiang Zemin, then the Secretary General of the Chinese Communist Party's, and
the direct manipulation of Luo Gan, the secretary of Politics and Law Committee
of the CCP central committee, that the Chinese Communist Regime meticulously
plotted the conspiracy of burning people alive to instigate the Chinese people's
hatred toward Falun Gong. On January 23, 2001, there was no "self-immolation incident" at
Tiananmen Square. The so-called "self-immolation incident" was
actually an "act of murder by burning people alive." During this
incident, Liu Chunling, who died on the spot, was hit hard on the back of the
head while suffering pain from being set on fire. She died as a result of that
blow. Her 12-year-old daughter, Liu Siying, was portrayed as a pathetic child.
She touched the hearts of many Chinese people in a scheme that she was not aware
of and could not comprehend. The moment she was chosen to play such a role, she
was destined to die in this sinister plot of Luo Gan's. As for the other figures chosen in this plot, none of them were truly
"burning themselves" at Tiananmen Square. They were implicated in a
larger conspiracy. Today, they are still playing these tragic and shameful roles
in prison, in the most agonizing state. The Chinese Communist Party has
destroyed their original healthy bodies and normal spirits. They were forced to
show up on TV, smiling or weeping as they were told. Even their families and
intimate friends have been thoroughly brainwashed and deceived, so that they can
be exploited in turn to deceive the whole world. The so-called "self-immolation incident" at Tiananmen Square was
not an extremely complicated case, nor a confusing case. It was a clumsy
performance by the Chinese Communist Party. Today, evidence from many different
sources all reveal one important fact: it was a huge lie and conspiracy. A great
number of people were involved in this incident and many of the participants
knew it was a deceptive plot from the very beginning. Numerous details of the
case continue to emerge. A great number of witnesses will appear and huge
amounts of material evidence will be shown to the entire world, when the time is
right. They are exceptionally shocking, but in fact, if you think it over
carefully, not entirely beyond expectation. We found evidence in the investigation which revealed that the following
individuals and organizations participated in or were involved in the incident: Luo Gan, Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee of the CCP Central
Committee, Liu Jing, Deputy Director of the 610 Office of the CCP
Central Committee and Zhou Yongkang, the Minister of Public Security, all
personally intrigued or plotted the so-called "self-immolation incident at
Tiananmen Square." Other participants were: the Ministry of State Security of the CCP Central
Committee; Ministry of Public Security of the CCP; the Department of Police of Beijing
City; the Tiananmen Police Department; the Zhongshan Park Police Station; the Cultural
Palace Police Station; the Imperial Palace Police Station; the Subway East
Station Police Station; the Police Academy of Beijing; the Beijing Emergency
Care Center; Li Chi, Deputy Director of the burn treatment division at Jishuitan
Hospital of Beijing; Chinese Central TV station and Luo Ming, Deputy Director of
Chinese Central TV station. The following staff of the "Focus Interview" program of Chinese
Central TV (CCTV) participated in the frame-up: Producers: Chen Meng, Bo Yang;
Editors: Li Yuqiang, Yu Weili; Cameramen: Zhong Shi, Zhang Xuefeng; Program
Coordinator: Sun Hong; Duty Editor: Li Changsheng; Technique Producer: Du
Lianying, Ji Yu, Ma Yuyan, Chen Haohai; Composition staff: Yang Taozhou, Xiao
Jing; Production supervisor: Li Ting, Zhang Baoan; Overall Supervisor of the
program: Luo Ming. More participants were: the China International Television Corporation;
Renmin Daily; Xinhua News Agency; Xinhua News Agency journalists - Jiang Yaping, Lu
Dasheng, Wang Hengtao, Zhai Wei, Peng Hong, Li Lijing; Duty Editor - Li
Dongshuai, photographer reporter - Xiao Yu; Guangming Daily, Guangming Daily

Hao; People's Supreme Court; The First People's Intermediate Court; Zhengzhou Prison of Henan Province; Police in the 3rd Brigade of
Henan Province Women's Labor Camp, Director of the 4th Brigade -
Wang Shulan, and Instructor - Liu Baolan of Henan Province Women's Labor Camp. Some family members, relatives and friends of the so-called
"self-immolators" were among the participants. A great number of
police, military police, medical staff involved in the emergency care, personnel
in all the related work units, as well as some of their family and friends
either directly or indirectly participated in the plot. That includes those who
knew about the scheme before the incident. The so-called "self-immolation incident" has caused immeasurable
harm. All individuals and work units involved in this incident have committed
crimes in this bloody conspiracy. The following is a preliminary list of the
crimes involved. (Based on an individual's depth of involvement, each one may be
charged for one or more crimes.) Crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, conspiracy, spying, premeditated
assault, illegal detention, intimidation or terrorist threats, premeditated murder,
assault and abuse, rape, illegal search of person, illegal search and seizure of
property, illegal entry, slander, extortion by means of torture-violence or any
other means, hate crimes, depriving people of religious freedom of belief,
invasion of privacy, crime of perjury, abduction, destruction of legal documents
and falsifying evidence, witness obstruction, aiding and abetting the destruction of evidence and/or falsifying evidence or
documents, threatening witnesses, harboring criminals, shielding perpetrators,
withholding or concealing evidence, abuse of powers of office, perverting the
law, illegal incarceration and detention, bringing false charges against
another, swindling people out of their money or goods, to name a few. In the near future, it will be a natural process to put Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan,
Liu Jing, Zhou Yongkang and other major perpetrators on trial, when China frees
itself from the rule of the CCP and enters a new era. The facts of their crimes,
just as in the cases of Hitler, Mussolini, Hideki Tojo, and Nicolae Ceausescu,
are beyond doubt. Therefore, referencing the related articles of Post-World War
II International Law, they will be charged with crimes for which people have
received capital punishment. The International Tribunal dedicated to the trial
of these criminals is in the process of being established. Tiananmen Square and
the People's Hall beside the square will probably become the venue for the grand
trial and adjudication. According to Item One of Article 33 in Rome Statute of International
Criminal Court, "The fact that a crime within the jurisdiction of the
Court has been committed by a person pursuant to an order of a Government or of
a superior, whether military or civilian shall not relieve that person of
criminal responsibility." After World War II, many war criminals were sentenced and subjected to
capital punishment. Among them were those directly responsible for the murders
and those who were indirectly involved but were confirmed to be absolutely
responsible for the deaths of innocent people, including Nazi journalists and
nurses working inside the concentration camps. Presently, the so-called "self-immolation incident at Tiananmen
Square" played a very special and influential role in the persecution of
Falun Gong practitioners and in deceiving the Chinese people, as well as the
international community. It is a huge crime. Any participant in this crime, if
he or she is still holding onto the thought of escaping punishment in the near
future, is foolish beyond words. For those who have participated in such a major
criminal case which involved such a large number of people, and which has caused
detrimental effects lasting five years, such a flagrant frame-up with obvious
loopholes easily observed in documents accessible to the general public, none of
the criminals involved has a chance of covering up his or her crimes, no matter
how hard he or she tries. Now the publication of the "Nine Commentaries of the Chinese
Communist Party" has presented a wonderful opportunity to the Chinese
people. We are able to see the true colors of the CCP's evil nature. The
gigantic wave of renouncing the CCP is the inevitable result. As of today,
nearly nine million people have published announcements over the Internet to
renounce the evil CCP and its affiliated organizations. This is an unprecedented
occurrence in human history and it reflects the aspirations and longings of the
Chinese people. We are confident that the unveiling of the truth of the
so-called "self-immolation incident" is imminent. We believe the trial
of this flagrant case will soon unfold. The establishment of WOIPFG was not meant to seek retaliation, though. Our
goal is to bring an end to the persecution and to save people with the truth, to
save as many people as possible. All of us partaking in the investigation have mixed feelings in our hearts. On one hand, we felt excited and encouraged because the unveiling of the
truth of this incident in front of all Chinese people and international
community would immediately bring an end to the persecution of Falun Gong and
Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese communist regime, and justice will be
upheld. On the other hand, we felt sorrow deep inside. Why has there been such a
tragic catastrophe for the nation of China? Why was the Chinese Communist Party
able to hoodwink so many fellow Chinese citizens simply by means of such awkward
deceptive propaganda? Why did such a large number of people betray their
consciences during the persecution that has lasted for six and a half years?
Once the trial is initiated, all those who have partaken in the persecution and
are confirmed as guilty will be brought to justice. However, after all, many of
them were likely deceived and used as tools by the Chinese Communist Party
without knowing the true nature of this persecution. Today, the persecution has not yet ended. The majority of the evidence,
witnesses and facts, which point to a certain individual involved in the
incident, have not been publicized. For all those who partook in the crime, but
still have that tiny bit of kindness and humanity left, this is indeed an
opportunity. We appeal to all individuals who have heard things, or who know certain
aspects of the real story of the "self-immolation incident," those who
hold evidence or who themselves are witnesses, for the sake of the future of our
nation, please expose this crime by all means, immediately. All those participants who still have conscience and humanity, please grasp
this very last chance to redeem yourselves by exposing the crimes and showing
your repentance. - The Investigative Committee of "Self-immolation Incident at Tiananmen
Square" (A subordinate committee under the WOIPFG) Posting date: 3/19/2006 |
