The Longshan and Zhangshi Forced Labor Camps in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province have each placed a large portrait of Falun Gong's founder on the ground at the entrance to their reception offices. Everyone, including Falun Gong practitioners' family members, is required to tread on it in order to enter the office. This is a serious violation of China's Civil Law Statutes.
Regarding the individual rights of citizenship, the Civil Law Statutes clearly state the following:
Article No.100 clearly stipulates, "The citizen owns the Right of Portrait. It is prohibited to use a citizen's portrait for profit without the consent of the citizen."
Article. No.101 stipulates, "The citizen enjoys the legal right of reputation. The law protects the personal dignity of the citizen. It is forbidden to harm the citizen's reputation through insult or slander."
Article No.120 stipulates, "Whenever the citizen's right of name, right of portrait, right of reputation or right of fame are violated, he/she is legally authorized to demand cessation of the violation, restoration of their reputation, elimination of the influence, receipt of an apology, and may demand restitution for damages."
The behavior of officials at Longshan Forced Labor Camp and at Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City is truly disgraceful and immoral. The hypocrisy is further exposed, as according to China's state-run television, no such behavior goes on at the forced labor camps and everything is done in a civilized manner.
It is said that the Falun Gong practitioners' activity of distributing flyers was illegal, but what the flyers document are the criminal deeds of Jiang and his followers, including the Longshan and Zhangshi Forced Labor Camps in Shenyang. If anyone doubts the truth of this, they may go to the Longshan and Zhangzhi Forced Labor Camps on the designated reception dates, and observe it for themselves.
As a nation with five thousand years of rich cultural history, China has passed down a code of etiquette spanning several millennia. Generation after generation has produced so many famous classical works, guiding successive generations on morality, it is difficult to fathom that our solemn national government departments have degenerated to the point of actually committing such shameful deeds. Their behavior not only mocks the office of the law, but also tarnishes the Chinese civilization and its emphasis on etiquette and morality.
