(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Hungary were shocked to learn that Changchun Falun Gong practitioner Liu Chengjun died from long term torture on December 26, 2003. On January 3, 2004 they commemorated Liu Chengjun in front of the Chinese consulate, and called for an immediate end to the persecution.
To inform the general public about the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong, Changchun Falun Gong practitioner Liu Chengjun and other practitioners successfully tapped into the Changchun cable TV network and broadcast Falun Gong truth-clarification videos on March 5, 2002. The broadcasts lasted between forty and fifty minutes and this amazing event allowed several million people to learn the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution. After the Jiang regime's lies were suddenly exposed, people in the entire Changchun area were shocked. Since Jiang Zemin relies on lies to proceed with his persecution, this incident made him feel extremely scared. Thereby, he gave a secret order to "kill the responsible Falun Gong practitioners without pardon."
Afterwards, a killing spree was initiated in Jilin. 5,000 Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in Changchun and at least six were beaten to death. After Liu Chengjun was arrested on March 24, 2002, the police shot him in the legs, even after he was handcuffed and in custody. He was illegally sentenced to 19 years in prison. After being brutally tortured and abused in the prison for a year and nine months, Liu Chengjun passed away on December the 26th at Jilin University Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital. Eyewitnesses stated that Liu Chengjun's body had blood running from the nostrils, ears, thighs and other areas. On the day of his death, Mr. Liu's body was forcibly cremated without an autopsy. Liu Chengjun was the eighth confirmed Falun Gong practitioner to be tortured to death because of this TV network-tapping incident.
In mainland China, since the illegal persecution of Falun Gong began, the regime-controlled mass media has spared no effort in fabricating lies to frame and attack Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners. At the same time, the regime has spared no efforts in covering up the facts of the persecution; those who don't know the facts have been innocently poisoned by lies. Regardless of the terrifying consequences, Liu Chengjun and other Falun Gong practitioners risked their lives to broadcast the facts and resist the illegal persecution. They safeguarded man's basic rights to free speech and freedom of belief. Their peaceful approach in resisting the brutal persecution is a magnificent feat.
We must try our utmost to help more people learn the facts of the persecution and stop the persecution altogether. We are calling for the severe punishment of Jiang Zemin, since he is responsible for this persecution and is the prime culprit in the brutal murder of Liu Chengjun and many others. Jiang Zemin must be punished for the numerous crimes he has committed.
