The Promotion of Criminal Zhao Zhifei Demonstrates the Evil Nature of Jiang's Chinese Communist Party Regime
By Chu Tianxing
(Clearwisdom.net) On December 17, 2004, the Department of Personnel of
Hubei Province issued a public notice regarding the promotion of four officials
to the level of provincial ministers. One of them is Zhao Zhifei, who was found
guilty of "Wrongful Death, Torture, False Imprisonment, and Crimes Against
Humanity" on December 21, 2001 by United States District Court Judge Denise
Cote. - Zhao Fled Back to China and Countered the Lawsuit With a Large-Scale
Manhunt and Propaganda Campaign Zhao Zhifei, a man born in 1954 in Hanchuan, Hubei Province, China, is
currently a member of the Chinese Communist Party Committee and the Associate
Director of the Police Department of Hubei Province. The most prominent position
that Zhao has ever held, however, is the second-in-command of the 610 Office in
Hubei Province, whose role is dedicated to persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
United States District Court Judge Denise Cote entered a default judgment
against Zhao on December 12, 2001. The lawsuit charged Zhao with wrongful death,
torture, false imprisonment, crimes against humanity, and other violations (of
international human rights law) carried out against Falun Dafa practitioners in
his home province of Hubei. Zhao was served with a legal summons in New York
City in July 2001 when he was visiting there. The day after Zhao Zhifei was served in New York City, it is believed that he
boarded a plane for China and has not returned to the U.S. since. According to
reliable sources, soon after Zhao's return to China, a massive hunt for Peng
Liang, a key plaintiff in the suit, and other Falun Gong practitioners in Hubei
Province ensued. Those believed to have assisted Peng Liang to "transmit
information over the internet" were specifically targeted. Many Falun Gong
practitioners in Wuchang District, whom the police thought to be associated with
Peng Liang, were arrested and tortured. Mr. Peng Liang himself was arrested on
August 30, 2001, but then disappeared. - Exposing the facts became the cause of death. Both Peng Liang's mother and
brother were tortured to death and defamed after their deaths On July 18, 2001, Peng Liang had entrusted Falun Gong practitioners in the
United States to sue Zhao Zhifei after police in Zhao's Hubei Province tortured
both his brother and mother to death. Numerous eyewitnesses confirmed that the
police beat Peng Liang 's younger brother, Peng Min, on January 9, 2001, causing
a fracture of his fifth vertebra and a compression fracture in his neck
vertebra, resulting in complete paralysis. He died in a hospital on April 6,
2001. Peng Liang's mother Li Yingxiu died in the same hospital on April 29,
2001. Her husband Peng Weisheng discovered numerous injuries on his wife's head
and dried blood in her mouth while inspecting her body. The police told him that
Li Yingxiu died because she "talked too much" after her son's death. Dr. Terri Marsh, one of the attorneys working on this case, noted,
"Instead of contesting these charges directly, the response from Zhao has
been twofold: 1) To instigate a manhunt for Peng Liang and all those who are
suspected of helping him, and 2) launching a media campaign of propaganda and
lies to distort the truth. They tried to produce the 'truth' by using
state-controlled media and terrorist-propaganda machines to turn black into
white." Using the same base means, Xinhua News Agency, the CCP's mouthpiece, recently
attacked and slandered Falun Gong practitioners in response to the articles on
Clearwisdom.net, including "Cruel Torture of Falun Gong Practitioner Liao
Yuanhua in the Prison of Fanjiatai, Shayang, Hubei Province" and
"Torture Demonstrations for Hubei Falun Gong Practitioner Liao Yuanhua in
Fanjiatai Prison." As Clearwisdom.net points out in one article, "When a person accuses
another person by blocking his voice and preventing him from talking, the
accuser must be lying." - Attorney: the plaintiff did not have the courage to face the trial in a
free country After United States District Court Judge Denise Cote entered a default
judgment against Zhao Zhifei, the plantiffs' attorney commented, "The
default judgment proves that all the cruel crimes alleged in the lawsuit are
true. The defendant and China's government did not have the courage to face
trial in a free country. The judgment will be sent to the United States State
Department. We will discuss the appropriate diplomatic reactions to the judgment
with the State Department." The lawsuit against Zhao Zhifei was the first case that Falun Gong
practitioners brought to United States courts to sue Chinese officials for
persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. As was shown in the CCP's massive
propaganda campaign to defame Falun Gong after Zhao returned to China, the CCP
regime led by Jiang Zemin certainly knew that Zhao was heavily involved in the
killings of Falun Gong practitioners, but they continued to fabricate lies to
deceive the public. Now, after five years of persecution, the fact that the CCP
is promoting persecutors such as Zhao only demonstrates that the CCP is a
scoundrel organization by nature that is willing to protect the interests of a
few officials at the expense of the interests of the country and its citizens,
by lying and killing. - Prior examples of persecutors similar to Zhao To Zhao, the promotion is a hot potato. Anyone who has read the
Clearwidom.net report, "Ruining Minds and Destroying Morality in Masanjia
Forced Labor Camp," must remember the name Su Jing, who, as the head of the
Second Branch of the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, continually tortured
and persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. While Su was widely condemned both
domestically and internationally for her brutality, Jiang's regime issued an
order to reward Su as a "First Class Heroine" with 50,000 yuan. As more and more people were trying to change jobs or move to avoid getting
involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, due to the rapid spread of the
truth about the Falun Gong persecution, Su Jing lost the opportunity to choose a
new path. Instead, she was forced to follow the evil path that Jiang and Lu Gan
had arranged for her. - Time will tell for whom the hotlines exist The public announcement from the CCP's Department of Personnel in Hubei
Province states that public comments are welcomed before December 24 with regard
to the promotions of the four people. The hotlines are open during business
hours at 86-27-12380, 86-27-7234749, 86-27-87821139. They also have a special
email address of 12380hb@vip.sina.com
that has been set up to facilitate public reports on these people. The public
can also write to the following mailing address: CCP's Department of Personnel of Hubei Province, Given Zhao's notorious persecution record, it remains to be seen if the
hotlines, the special email, and the mailing address are merely symbolic or not. In addition to Zhao Zhifei, the following people were also promoted: Zhou
Houzhen, born in 1953 in Xiantao, Hubei, who is currently the Associate Director
and CCP committee member of the Police Department of Hubei Province; Shang Wu,
born in Beijing in 1957, who is currently also an Associate Director and CCP
committee member of the Police Department of Hubei Province; Dai Guizhou, born
in 1957 in Jingmen, Hubei Province, who is currently the Associate Secretary of
the CCP of Enshi District, Hubei Province. |
