Ms. Liu Xiufeng from Laishui County, Hebei Province, filed a lawsuit against the Laishui County 610 Office and Wang Fucai, the head of the 610 Office1, with the Laishui County People's Procuratorate in late February of 2006, after being persecuted for seven years. She demanded that Wang Fucai be investigated for his criminal deeds and also demanded compensation for the loss of her physical and mental health and the persecution of her family. After legal counselling, she filed the lawsuit, giving people a chance to see the truth behind the inhuman persecution that Falun Gong practitioners have been going through and how practitioners are being deprived of their human rights. The Laishui County Procuratorate has now accepted this lawsuit.

The content of the indictment is as follows:

Accuser: Liu Xufeng, female, born in 1962, formerly worked in the Yongyang Town Judicial Centre
The accused: Director of the Laishui County 610 Office, Wang Fucai

Details:

The director of the 610 Office, Mr. Wang Fucai, seriously tramples the law and violates human rights. This is to ask for the People's Procuratorate to prosecute and investigate all the criminal offences committed by Wang Fucai and bring him to justice. I ask for 200,000 yuan2 in compensation for all the losses related to my physical and mental health, my property, and my family. I also ask for the dissolution of the illegal organisation of the 610 Office that has been used to persecute human rights, and the dismissal of the 610 Office director from all his positions, with orders instructing him to stop all human rights violations.

I started practising Falun Gong in 1995. The 610 Office has persecuted me since the persecution against Falun Gong began on July 20th, 1999. In 2001, the 610 Office instigated the public security bureau to detain me and sentenced me to forced labour. Because my right kidney had been removed and my blood pressure was so high, the Baoding Forced Labour Camp refused to take me. Again, on the evening of November 20th, 2004, Wang Fucai, director of the 610 Office, instigated the public security bureau to detain me. On January 23rd, 2005, they sentenced me to forced labour. And again, due to the lack of a kidney, my left kidney was very weak, my blood pressure was so high, and my heart did not function well, the labour camp refused to take me. After I came back to Laishui County, Wang Fucai instigated the public security bureau to continue to detain me without any legal procedures. They did not give me either a detention notice or a labour camp sentencing statement. They deprived me of the right to file an appeal, and they also hid the evidence of their misconduct. During this time, I had serious illness symptoms several times, and I asked the public security bureau and the 610 Office to bail me out for medical treatment. However, Wang Fucai ordered my continued detainment.

On April 30th, 2005, Wang Fucai gave orders that two other practitioners and I were to be sent to the Baoding 610 Office to be "transformed." The Baoding 610 Office beat me, cursed at me, threatened me, and forced me to write the "four statements" (similar to the three statements) and punished me by making me stand for long periods of time. Since my heart and blood pressure were frequently in a dangerous state, the city 610 Office notified Wang Fucai to take us back to Laishui. Wang Fucai again ordered them to detain me at the detention centre. When the public security bureau gave me "probation," Wang Fucai still did not want to release me. On October 19th, 2005, when I had a physical check-up at the detention centre, my blood pressure was as high as 260 and as low as 140, and my heartbeat was seriously uneven. On the morning of October 20th, I fell down in the courtyard of the detention centre. The doctor used acupuncture to revive me, saying that I was seriously sick and had to be hospitalised. Only then did Wang Fucai release me.

Wang Fucai detained me and sentenced me to forced labour without producing any evidence. This violates the law. I have now been persecuted to such an extent that my husband and son have both left me. I have no family, no job, no stable income, and no residence. Physically, I have been tortured to the point that I cannot work properly. Wang Fucai violates the Constitution, the Criminal Law, the National Compensation Law, and the Regulations of Labour Re-education of the National Council. He continues to persecute me when he knows that it is illegal. This is a new offence added to the old ones. As a result, Wang Fucai should shoulder his responsibility for his criminal offence and also compensate me for what I have lost. Once again I ask the Procuratorate to prosecute Wang Fucai according to the law, to safeguard the legal rights of his victims, and to outlaw the illegal organisation of the 610 Office and dismiss Wang Fucai from all of his positions.

Note:

1. The 610 office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.

2. Yuan is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.
