By a Belgian practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) On November 12, 2004, practitioners from different cities in Belgium went to the Chinese Embassy to appeal to bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, and Zhou Yongkang to justice. This appeal was also to express support for the lawsuit in Zambia against Su Rong, who is wanted by Zambian authorities for failing to appear in court after being charged with the murder of Falun Gong practitioners.

Su was in charge of Jilin's "610 Office," an agency responsible for the arrest and brainwashing of Falun Gong practitioners. The deaths of at least 139 practitioners from state abuse have been verified in Jilin Province, making it the second most notorious province in China for the persecution of Falun Gong, behind Heilongjiang's 158 deaths.

Su's case is the latest in a series of 50 lawsuits served against Chinese officials for persecuting and defaming Falun Gong.

The Belgian practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises. Local police officers offered their encouragement and said they hoped to see the practitioners again in the future.

Who Are Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang? Why Should They be Brought to Justice?

Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese Military, and the Chinese Government, personally initiated and escalated the persecution of Falun Gong.

On June 10, 1999, because of Jiang Zemin's abuse of power, the "610 Office" was established specifically to persecute Falun Gong. It overrode the Chinese Constitution and the law, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems. After July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin ordered the "610 Office" to carry out an annihilation policy against Falun Gong practitioners in China, including the following directives:

• "Defame their reputation, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically";
• If practitioners are "beaten to death it is nothing and shall be counted as suicide;"
• "Cremate their body directly without identifying the person."

Since July 20, 1999, more than 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death in more than 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

Luo Gan

As Secretary of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Central Committee, Luo Gan personally planned the defamation and framing of Falun Gong. He played a major role in the persecution. After July 20, 1999, Luo Gan was the main executor to carry out Jiang's genocidal policies against Falun Gong. From 1999 to 2002, Luo Gan personally participated in the making of a series of policies designed to map out the escalation of the persecution.

Luo Gan used every speech he made at various meetings to incite political and judiciary departments to step up the persecution of Falun Gong. He personally traveled to various areas to oversee the execution of persecution orders. Between 2001 and 2003, Luo Gan gave at least seven public speeches, urging the political and judiciary departments to regard "Falun Gong as the number one target for suppression. Since September 2000, Luo Gan had gone to Weifang City in Shandong Province, Wuhan City in Hubei Province, Nanchang City in Jiangxi Province, Changchun City in Jilin Province, Anhui Province, Liaoning Province, Jiaozuo City in Henan Province, Shenyang City in Liaoning Province and Xingkai Lake in Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province to personally oversee the persecution.

Evidence shows that whenever Luo Gan conducted an inspection somewhere, the arrest, torture and death toll of practitioners in that area would increase drastically.

Liu Jing, as the head of the "610 Office," traveled to various areas to direct the persecution. Liu Jing and Luo Gan often went together to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp to personally inspect the progress of the brainwashing efforts against practitioners. They also ordered that Masanjia's torture methods be used as a model for other labor camps and brainwashing centers, not only in Liaoning Province where Masanjia is located, but also around the country. This led to pervasive, savage persecution in detention centers, forced labor camps and jails all over China.

Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province is notorious, known as the place that tortures practitioners the most cruelly. Many Falun Gong practitioners have died there as a result of these tortures. The Masanjia Forced Labor Camp will also go down in history as the place where eighteen women practitioners who refused to renounce their belief were stripped naked and thrown into male prison cells without guard supervision.

Liu Jing personally helped plot and implement the self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square, an almost unbelievably twisted propaganda stunt contrived and staged to demonize Falun Gong in the public mind. Liu Jing is also responsible for the creation of masses of other propaganda designed to incite hatred against Falun Gong.

The staged self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square is the most widely propagated and most effective lie told to turn public opinion against Falun Gong. The incident affected many people and incited those who did not know the facts to have enmity towards Falun Gong. This gave Jiang's regime an excuse for escalating the persecution. A non-governmental organization known as the International Education Development (IED) pointed out in a report dated August the 14, 2001 that the "self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square was staged by the government." Many discrepancies were uncovered through a slow-motion analysis of the incident recorded on videotape by CCTV cameras on the scene. In the videotape, we can see someone hit Liu Chunling, one of the self-immolators, on the back of the head, killing her on the spot. It has also been verified that the self-immolators were not Falun Gong practitioners.

Yet because Jiang and his faction control the media in China, they were able to flood the airwaves with false propaganda, and use it to great advantage in their efforts to gain public support for their persecution of Falun Gong.

Zhou Yongkang

Zhou Yongkang was the secretary of the Sichuan Province Party Committee and is currently the minister of the Public Security Department (the agency that governs the police). He is responsible for the deaths of many practitioners. Zhou Yongkang is notorious in Sichuan Province for his brutality. People in Sichuan refer to him as "Human Rights Killer."

During his tenure in Sichuan, Zhou Yongkang and other high-ranking officials conspired with each other to persecute Falun Gong. Sources contend that he authorized, supervised and endorsed such methods as murder, torture and abduction in order to intimidate and eliminate practitioners in his district. He also carried out a vicious policy of implicating others in the abuse saying, "If parents practice, fire the children from their jobs; if children practice, fire their parents; stop paying their pensions and cut off their financial resources." He has made Sichuan one of the provinces where Falun Gong is most severely persecuted. By persecuting Falun Gong, Zhou paved the road for his own promotion to minister of Public Security, a road stained with practitioners' blood.

On December 9, 2003, Zhou Yongkang continued to carry out Jiang's persecution policy, stating at a meeting held with various heads of the police system, "Cracking down on Falun Gong is still the main task of the Chinese police." According to a report by People's Police, a newspaper in Beijing, Zhou Yongkang announced Jiang's eight major points regarding domestic and international issues. The first five points were to strengthen the dictatorship, with the suppression of Falun Gong listed as the third major point.
