(Minghui.org) Former Chinese Communist Party head Jiang Zemin initiated the brutal suppression of Falun Gong in July 1999, causing untold suffering for tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners and their families over the past 16 years.
While the persecution continues, practitioners are increasingly exercising their legal right to seek legal action against the former dictator. Between May 28 and 31, 2015, practitioners in China filed at least 232 lawsuits against Jiang. According to information provided to Minghui, these practitioners represent 16 provinces and provincial-level municipalities.
Most of the cases involve severe and lengthy torture. Ms. Li Xiuying, 62, is a former hospital employee in Tonghua City, Heilongjiang Province. She was sent to a forced labor camp twice, held in detention centers six times, and her home was ransacked twice. She was subjected to brainwashing multiple times by officials at her workplace, agents from the 610 Office, and coworkers. She was beaten, kicked, force-fed, injected with drugs against her will, handcuffed, and shackled. The torture left her with injuries to her head and legs, as well as missing teeth.
Mr. Chen Mingan, 56, who lives in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, was detained in a forced labor camp four times between 1999 and 2008, for a total of 6.5 years. He was sent to brainwashing centers four times between 2001 and 2008 for a total of 6 months. He was held in detention centers four times, for six months, between 1999 and 2010. He was fired from his job in February 2000. His wife, Ms. Huo Meilian, was sent to a forced labor camp in June 2007, where the hard labor and torture damaged her health. She died in January 2014.
They were all mistreated for one reason: their belief in Falun Gong's principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Although their experiences differ, all these practitioners were mistreated under Jiang's campaign to eradicate Falun Gong. Ms. Dong Jingya, an architect, was arrested in March 2015 for taking care of Ms. Gao Rongrong (a practitioner whose face was disfigured in 2004 and who later died of torture in 2005). She was sent to the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for three years, where she handcuffed to heating pipes, force-fed, and injected with unknown drugs, among other forms of torture. She was conditionally released when her condition became life-threatening.
