Guo Rui, Jiang Renzheng and their two children (Clearwisdom.net) On April 9, 2005, Falun Gong
practitioners from the Ruhr district in Germany handed a letter to Mr.
Schroeder, the German Premier, during an election activity. The letter called
for the German Government to pay attention to the deportation of Jiang Renzheng,
his wife Guo Rui and their two young children. After being sent back from
Germany, Jiang Renzheng was taken away by the police on April 8 from his wife's
family home in Shenyang and sentenced to forced labor for three years on that
day. He is now detained in Liaoning Benxi Forced Labor Camp. Practitioners' large posters and banners At 2 pm on April 9, when people came to Dortmund to take part
in the election activities, the first thing they saw as they stepped out of the
station was the huge displays set up by Falun Gong practitioners. Big letters
read "SOS" and made many people slow down and find out more. When they
had finally stopped and looked closely at the photos on the display boards, they
were astounded by the great contrast: on one side there was a picture of the
peaceful Falun Gong exercises while the other side showed bodies that had been
tortured until they were bruised black and blue. A large number of people
received leaflets and little paper lotus flowers which practitioners had
carefully produced. When the German Premier reached the scene of the activity in
the afternoon and shook hands with different people, Falun Gong practitioners
handed him the letter and a little paper lotus flower. His retinue took them on
his behalf. The letter referred to a Chinese student who is currently
studying in Dortmund. Two years ago, just because a Falun Gong leaflet hidden in
her office was discovered, she was jailed in Beijing's Female Forced Labor Camp
for sixteen months. During her detention, although she didn't suffer persecution
as severely as other Falun Gong practitioners did, the mental torments she
endured wiped her memory clean of the foreign languages she had learned. She
even found it difficult to speak Chinese after her release. The letter of appeal mentioned Jiang Rengzheng and Guo Rui's
deportation back to China after being refused refugee status in March. The
couple are new practitioners of Falun Gong who started practicing in Germany
after the persecution had already begun. The German Government wasn't convinced
that they would be persecuted if they went back to China. After being
repatriated back to China, Jiang and his family were interrogated and threatened
by the National Security Bureau on several occasions. The bureau found out that
Jiang attended Falun Gong activities overseas. On 8th April, when the family
went to visit Guo Rui's parents in Shenyang, he was taken away by the Benxi
police, and sentenced to three years forced labor for "having contacts with
the Falun Gong organization and damaging social order." Jiang Renzheng's wife was very puzzled by this incident.
During the first month of going back to China they looked for a house, looked
for jobs and looked after two children younger than three. How did they damage
the social order? Her family was also furious about this incident. The German Falun Gong Information Center disclosed that
practitioners are now actively informing the German authorities, politicians,
media and human rights organization about the situation of Jiang's family. On
the one hand they are appealing to the German Government to rescue the family,
while on the other hand they want to help the public in a democratic country to
understand, through this case, the situation under the Communist Party's
autocratic and totalitarian dominance, where there is no freedom of belief or
human rights. http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200504/25956.html
