(Minghui.org) A 60-year-old man from Fangzheng County, Heilongjiang Province filed a criminal complaint against former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin for ordering the persecution of Falun Gong that has deprived this law-abiding citizen the right to live a normal life.
Mr. Yun Fuqi, 60, credits Falun Gong for returning him to health. He has never shied away from telling people that the persecution of Falun Gong is wrong. This simple act, however, landed him in police custody on multiple occasions.
He has been arrested a total of eight times for his faith since the persecution began in 1999. He was twice given forced labor and once sentenced to prison. During his cumulative 11 years of incarceration, he suffered brutal torture countless times and sustained severe injuries.
One of his ribs was broken after the guards beat him on January 16, 2002. Less than two months later, they gave him another round of savage beatings, causing fractures in 21 places all over his body. He was also diagnosed with two fractured ribs and multiple skull fractures when he was released from prison on November 11, 2011.
The guards also often instigated criminal inmates to abuse him in unthinkable ways. Once a convicted rapist led a group of inmates and plucked out Mr. Yun’s mustache, eyebrows, armpit hair and pubic hairs. They mixed the hairs into his food and forced him to eat it.
Mr. Yun's prison release in 2011 didn’t bring him much of a respite. The local authorities not only declined to return his ID, but also ordered the cancellation of his household registration card. Without any identification document, Mr. Yun can’t even purchase a cell phone, let alone land a full-time job.
One of Mr. Yun's friends found him a temporary job in a neighboring city in April 2016, but the police soon shattered his dream to rebuild his life. He was taking care of his 90-year-old client at the elderly man’s house on May 5 when two officers showed up and arrested him.
He was released several hours later and ordered to never set foot in the neighboring city again.
Background Information
Jiang Zemin, as head of the CCP, overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong in July 1999.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners over the past 17 years. More have been tortured for their belief, and even killed for their organs. Jiang is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the CCP established an extralegal security organ, the 610 Office, on June 10, 1999. This organization overrides the police and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's policy regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law now allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are exercising this right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
