Sweden: Practitioners Appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy and Consulate to Call for Severe Punishment of the Perpetrators who Tortured Liu Chengjun to Death (Photos)

January 11, 2004

(Clearwisdom.net) On December 30^th, 2003, Swedish Falun Gong practitioners sat in meditation in front of both the Chinese Embassy in Stockholm and the Chinese consulate in Gothenburg to mourn the death of Liu Chengjun, who was tortured to death by the Jiang regime. Practitioners also wanted to appeal to bring Jiang, who instigated the persecution against Falun Gong, and the vicious policemen responsible for the death of Liu Chengjun to justice.

Since the former leader of the Chinese government Jiang Zemin began to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in July 1999, Mainland China has been covered with deceit. The Chinese media is filled with a variety of lies and the public has been brainwashed into believing them. The regime has not felt any shame after lying to the people. In order to disclose the facts of the persecution against one hundred million of practitioners in China to more people, Liu Chengjun and other practitioners tapped into a Changchun TV station to broadcast Falun Gong programs on March 5^th, 2002. The entirety of the broadcasts lasted forty to fifty minutes and spanned eight channels. After clarifying the facts, practitioners were beaten and some were even beaten to death. Liu Chengjun was one of those who was beaten to death. On December 26^th, 2003, Liu Chengjun passed away after suffering enormous brutality for twenty-one months.

According to reports, Liu Chengjun was kidnapped on March 24^th, 2003. He was handcuffed and police deliberately shot his legs twice. In early May, Liu Chengjun was transferred to the Tiebai Detention Centre to be persecuted. At his trial, he had to be carried in. In mid September 2002, he was sentenced to nineteen years in the Jilin Prison. After suffering persecution for one year and nine months, he passed away at four in the morning on December 26^th, 2003. An eyewitness discovered bloodstains near Liu's nostrils, ears and legs. Policemen cremated his body without his family's agreement and without the body being autopsied.

Upon hearing about this, Swedish Falun Gong practitioners immediately informed the media and the public. On December the 30th 2003, practitioners peacefully protested in front of the Chinese Embassy and Consulate against the murder of Chinese practitioners and to appeal for the murderers and their accomplices to be brought to justice. Passers-by and drivers also offered their sympathy and support to practitioners.
