Zeng and Luo Continue to Fabricate Self-Immolation Lies to Support a New Round of Suppression of Falun Gong
By Ouyang Fei
(Clearwisdom.net) Around 2001, when the persecution of Falun Gong by
Jiang's regime had lost public support and could hardly continue, Jiang Zemin,
Zeng Qinghong and Luo Gan directed the staged "Self-Immolation"
incident on Tiananmen Square (1) to deceive the public and to instigate hatred
against Falun Gong. A slow motion analysis of the CCTV videotape, however,
clearly revealed that a policeman at the scene hit Liu Chunling, one of the
immolators, on the head with a blunt object. No matter how many so-called
"special reports" were fabricated by Jiang and the CCP to patch up the
lie, they never dared to defend the concrete fact that Liu Chunling died from
the blow to her head. After Jiang Zemin fell out of power, Zeng Qinghong and Luo Gan continued to
persecute Falun Gong in an attempt to make the new leadership of the CCP a
scapegoat. In 2005, they initiated another round of large-scale arrests of Falun
Gong practitioners. Cases of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted to death
occurred repeatedly, including some extremely severe cases. Ms. Gao Rongrong was a Falun Gong practitioner in Shenyang City, Liaoning
Province. Her face was severely disfigured by many hours of electric baton
torture. (2) She was later tortured until she died. Another Falun Gong
practitioner, Ms. Wang Yunjie's breasts were disfigured and infected from severe
electric shock torture by Masanjia Force Labor Camp guards. (3) As the persecution of Falun Gong escalated, the CCP's mouthpiece media
reported a self-immolation case on Chang'an Street in Beijing on November 3,
2005. The report claimed that the case was still fuzzy, but it declared that the
self-immolator was a "Falun Gong practitioner." The report said the self-immolator was Ms. Li Xiaoying, a Falun Gong
practitioner in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. We have not yet received more
detailed information about this case. The most recent information we have found
about a Falun Gong practitioner named Li Xiaoying from Clearwisdom.net website
was a report in "Latest News from China -- July 27, 2004." It said,
"Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Xiaoying from Shijiazhuang City hasn't been
released after her detention term expired. She has been fined over 10,000 yuan.
She has recently been sent to Hebei Province's Legal System Education Center
(actually a brainwashing center) for additional persecution." (4) Falun Gong teaches practitioners never to kill or commit suicide. If the
so-called "self-immolator" was the same Li Xiaoying who was forcibly
sent to the brainwashing center, people cannot help but ask this question: did
the brainwashing cause Ms. Li to burn herself or did the police burn her after
persecuting her? This reminded people of another staged "self-immolation" case. On April 18th, 2001, a similar tragedy occurred in Baiguo Town,
Macheng City, Hubei Province. Ms. Wang Huajun, 36 years old, was a Falun Gong
practitioner in Fengjiashan Village, Macheng City, Hubei Province. She was
arrested when she was clarifying the truth in Macheng City. The
police brutally beat her until 11 p.m. Ms. Wang was dying. The police then
dragged her to the front gate of the municipal government building, poured
gasoline on her and burned her to death. The police told the public that she
burned herself. Wang Huajun had only one ear left. The back of her head, her
back, and her lower body were not burned. On her throat, there were two deep
cuts from a knife. People from her village who sent her body to be cremated saw
her body, and said that she definitely did not die of self-immolation. The
clumsy lie fabricated by the local government was full of loopholes. A female
sanitation worker witnessed what had happened. The local authorities forbid
people from investigating this case, and strictly blocked the spread of any
information regarding it. Could what happened to Wang Huajun also have happened to Li Xiaoying today?
The CCP said it would continue to investigate the case. If the CCP itself is the
culprit, how could we expect a fair investigation? We can only hope for a fair
investigation of the case after the persecution ends. November 4, 2005 |
