(Minghui.org) Chinese Communist Party officials in Pingdu, Shandong Province harassed Falun Gong practitioners who filed criminal complaints against former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin.
Police also tried to seize practitioners' personal belongings, but were stopped by those who held their ground and refused to allow officers to take their property.
On August 4, Mx. Xu Meiying's home was searched by Yu Zhongjiang, the Party Secretary of Liulin Village, Guo Yucheng, an agent from the Pingdu City 610 Office, and another official. The three men refused to show identification.
Guo confiscated Ms. Xu's Falun Gong books and tried to leave with them. Ms. Xu chased him to the door and took them from his grasp.
They later went to Mr. Sui Shouzhong's home. Their first sentence was, “Did you sue Jiang Zemin?” Mr. Sui replied, “Yes, we did!” Guo demanded to know who helped him with the process, but Mr. Sui refused to answer.
Guo looked around Mr. Sui's house. Mr. Sui told him, “You can ask me questions. But no one can take anything from my home. The law allows us to sue Jiang Zemin, and we can we sue anyone who violates the law.” The officials left.
Background
In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other members of the Politburo Standing Committee and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners over the past 16 years. Even more have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang Zemin is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the Communist regime established an extralegal security organization – the 610 Office – on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law allows its citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
