To the Supreme People's Procuratorate:
My name is Liu Jun. I was born on March 8, 1952. I am a farmer from the Third Commune, Jilin City, Jilin Province. Due to the continuous harassment and threats from the local police and "610 Office" agents, my family of three was forced to leave our home and move from place to place.
In 2004, our country added "human rights protection" into the Constitution; the Administration of Justice began rectifying the corruptions in the Public, Judiciary, and Law Departments. At the same time, they started a year-long (May 2004 to May/June 2005) movement of "rigorous investigation and punishment of governmental agencies and staffs' abuse of power against citizens," to refine the legal system and protect human rights. In order to cooperate with this movement, I have the responsibility to report to the court prosecutor the truth about the local polices' various persecutions and illegal deprivations of my basic human rights. I hope that the Supreme People's Procuratorate will give me a fair and reasonable reply and settlement after investigation.
I am a Falun Gong practitioner (as are my wife and child). Since beginning the practice in 1995, I have followed the teachings of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance." Falun Dafa has benefited me and my family physically and mentally. Falun Dafa healed me and my wife from various kinds of sicknesses and desperation. For almost ten years we have been healthy and haven't needed to take any medication. Falun Dafa elevates our moral standard and we help others. We have done various good deeds in our village, and people all see us as being good people and a good family. Since July 20, 1999, the never-before-seen persecution of Falun Gong has created inexpressible pains for me and my family. We have suffered extreme torture and unreasonable damage mentally, physically, financially, and professionally. Under this persecution, our lives and finances have had no protection whatsoever. The police use any reason, without any evidence, to ransack our house, arrest, rob, beat, threaten and intimidate us.
On September 22, 1999, when I was manipulated into going to the police station in Erdao Township, Fengman District, Jilin City, the police ransacked my home, took my television, stereo, cassette recorder, and 500 yuan (1) in cash. Then they detained me for 15 days. On October 28 that same year, they ransacked my house again, and detained me for another 15 days for appealing in Beijing. They also extorted 4,000 yuan from us and haven't returned it. Then on December 29, they once again ransacked our house, and unconstitutionally sent me to the Jilin City 3rd Detention Center. They tortured me for 25 days in the detention center, and illegally sentenced me to two years of forced labor using "disturbing social order" as the reason.
On January 13, 2000, the authorities sent me to the Huanxi Ridge Labor Camp, Jilin City and inhumanely tortured me. The labor camp used various methods, such as depriving us of full meals, making us carry bags of sand and rocks, forcing us to run or stand still or squat for long periods of time, as well as brutally beating us in order to try and force us to write the "statements to break ties with Falun Gong." On March 27, 2001, I was transferred to the Liaoyuan Labor Camp, Jilin Province. I was brutally beaten in the labor camp and forced to participate in brainwashing classes for a month. After the torture I couldn't walk, I became very thin, and I passed out many times during the beatings. My left leg was broken during one of the beatings, and I am still lame because of it.
I was released on November 13, 2001. At 8 p.m. on January 28, 2002, the authorities arrested me again and took me to the Erdao Township Police Station. Police officers Li Jianping, Xu Zhenfeng, and Xin Dechen put me on the "Tiger bench." They handcuffed my hands behind my back, pulled a hood over my head and tried to strangle and suffocate me. They beat my head with bats. I passed out within a few minutes. The handcuffs carved bloody grooves into my hands and wrists. My arms became severely bruised and numb. Even now, whenever I have to carry a heavy weight my arms feel numb.

On January 29, 2002, the police unconstitutionally sent me to the 3rd Detention Center in Jilin City again. But the center refused to accept me because I didn't pass their physical examination.
At 8 p.m., October 11, 2002, the Erdao Township "610 Office" and local police came and ransacked my house again and arrested me. They sent me to the Huapi Factory Labor Camp that night. On November 16, the local police took me to 3rd Detention Center and illegally confined me. On November 5, 2002, they sent me to the Jiutai City Labor Camp, Jilin Province. The labor camp refused to admit me because I didn't pass the physical examination. On our way back, Officer Xu Zhenfeng from Erdao Township beat me. My head was bruised in various locations; my face was covered with blood and wounds. They locked me back up in the 3rd Detention Center when we returned. On November 26, 2002, because my life was in danger, the detention center unconditionally released me because they didn't want to be held responsible.
During the Two National Meetings (the two Congressional Meetings) of the Communist Party in 2003, my house was searched numerous times. On July 22, 2003, the police once again arrested me and sent me to the Jiutai City Labor Camp, Jilin Province. The warrant that was issued for the labor camp was dated 2002, but the local police changed the date and fabricated the warrant to deceive the Jiutai City Labor Camp. Once again, the labor camp refused to accept me because I didn't pass the physical examination.

At 8 p.m. on July 19, 2004, the Erdao Township's government agents and police came to ransack my house yet again. I refused them entry. Ten minutes later they brought Cao Jianguo, the Bureau Chief from Fengman District Police Division. Under Cao Jianguo's commands, and without any warrants, they broke our windows and locks and ransacked our house, breaking furniture and looting our house. During the ransacking, Officer Xu Zhenfeng used a utility flashlight to beat my wife. He continued to kick and stomp on her even after she fell to the ground. When I tried to stop him, an officer struck the back of my head with a heavy object, and I passed out. A senior officer was worried that they might kill us, so he stopped the other officers. They took 500 yuan as well as another 10 yuan that we had earned from selling vegetables. They took three cassette recorders, a new motorcycle worth 4,000 yuan, and various Falun Dafa books, lectures on CDs and cassettes, as well as other Falun Dafa materials. While they were beating us and looting our home, Bureau Chief Cao Jianguo said, "You can do whatever you want to them, even if they die I don't care. I will take responsibility." They left my house at 11:30 p.m. The whole process took three hours. Even though hundreds of onlookers were angered, they dared not say a thing.
I went to the National People's Congress in Jilin City to appeal on July 21, 2004, and later to the National People's Congress Political Committee in Fengman District. The director of the Political Committee told me, "If you write a Guarantee Statement to give up practicing Falun Gong I can fix the situation for you: return the money, belongings, and motorcycle taken from you; and, I can take care of the brutal police. But if you insist on continuing to practice, then the beatings and lootings are just part of the process, even if it's excessive. If you don't like it, you can sue them. I don't care." Because my wife and I went to appeal, Bureau Chief Cao Jianguo became angry, and said that he will send all three members of my family to prison for the rest of our lives. We dared not stay at home and risk arrest, and therefore we were forced to become homeless.
Between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. on August 4, 2004, the police came to search my home again. There was no one at home. They returned again between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., and then again around 10:00 at night. They were searching for us as if they were crazed. On August 5, between 6 a.m. and 7a.m., they came again. They used extremely despicable and inhumane methods to force my father to give information as to our whereabouts. Due to the numerous persecutions that my family has endured my father had been hurt both physically and mentally. He suffered a stroke and couldn't talk nor walk. After we left home, he was the only one at home, so there was no one there to take care of him. The three officers took a frightened, sick old man, who couldn't speak, to my sister's house to look for us. On August 6, some time between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., they came to my house once again.
Practitioners always strive to be better and better people. This is beneficial to the nation and to society. Freedom to practice one's belief is protected by the Chinese Constitution. According to the law, I have not committed any crime and I am innocent.
In the light of the above incidents I request the following:
- Prosecute Fengman District Police Division Bureau Chief Cao Jianguo's serious criminal offenses of violating citizens' personal rights, illegal ransack/searches, police brutality and forceful looting, etc. Investigate, according to the law, Erdao Township Director Li Jianping, Officers Xu Zhenfeng and Xin Dechen's serious criminal offenses of violating citizens' rights, illegal sentencing, brutal tortures and beatings, extorting confessions using force, looting of personal property and money, etc.
- Give me back my personal and spiritual freedom. Restore my normal and stable living condition.
Regards,
Appealer: Liu Jun
