Several hundred villagers signed a petition attesting to Ms. Liu's reputation as a good person

On May 31, 2011, Ms. Liu's oldest daughter, Tian Guangqing, and a friend arrived at Shizhong District Procuratorate in Jinan City to report the illegal acts of the Shizhong District police— Ms. Liu's unlawful arrest, detention and the ransacking of her home during the arrest. They also reported that the Shizhong District Court had illegally put Ms. Liu on trial on May 6, 2011, and had not allowed the family to enter the courtroom.

Zhang Jisheng, the chief of the Appeals Office of the Procuratorate, received them. As soon as Zhang realized that their reports were related to a Falun Gong practitioner's case, he said, “We do not accept Falun Gong cases. We have an internal document that mandates that we do not accept any Falun Gong matter.”

Therefore, Zhang refused to accept the letter of accusation, and told them to deal directly with the Public Security Bureau and the courts. Tian requested Zhang show the “internal document,” but he refused. When Tian and her friend insisted that Zhang accept their report in accordance with the law, he became angry and threatened them. Tian and her friend left their letters of accusation and relevant evidence, and left the Appeals Office.

The evidence left by Tian Guangqing included a petition signed by over 300 villagers of Xinglong Village, where Ms. Liu's family lives, vouching that Ms. Liu is a good person.

The petition stated: “It is known to all that Ms. Liu is a good person and that she has been unlawfully detained for a long time only because she practices Falun Gong and believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Gong teaches people to be good, and Falun Gong practitioners are good people.” The villagers had signed the petition in hopes that Ms. Liu would be released.
