(Minghui.org) Two Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Li Shuqin and her daughter Ms. Su Nan, from Mianyang, Sichuan Province, recently filed a joint complaint against former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin for initiating the persecution of Falun Gong.
For refusing to renounce her belief in Falun Gong, Ms. Li was arrested and detained multiple times. Ms. Su was tortured so brutally that her bones became deformed.

Ms. Li Shuqin and several other practitioners was arrested and taken to Mianyang City Detention Center in December 2002.
She was transferred to a brainwashing center a month later.
After three months, Ms. Li was forced to pay 200 yuan and released. Other practitioners were sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
Ms. Li was detained at Mianyang City Detention Center for five days in July 2009.
Mianyang 610 Office personnel and police officers ransacked Ms. Li’s home and seized her Falun Gong books and other personal belongings on September 27, 2009. She was arrested and interrogated by officers from the Fucheng District Police Substation.
Ms. Li was taken to Mianyang City Detention Center on September 28. She went on a hunger strike to protest her abuse and was force-fed.
Eight days later, she was taken to Mianyang People’s Hospital for an injection.
She started coughing up blood three weeks later, and was subsequently released on bail.
Police broke into Ms. Li’s house on July 27, 2010 and arrested her. She was detained at a brainwashing center for two months.
Police and 610 Office personnel then extorted 60,000 yuan from her former employer to instigate hatred against Falun Gong.
Fucheng District police arrested Ms. Li on April 24, 2011 and later released her. Officers ransacked her home, however, and seized her Falun Gong books, a photo of Master Li Hongzhi (founder of Falun Gong), a computer, a printer, and cash.
Ms. Su Nan, a former official at the Measuring Station in the SAC (Second Artillery Corps) of the PLA General Armament Department, has also suffered tremendously for practicing Falun Gong.
Ms. Su Nan before the persecution began
During Ms. Su's three years in prison, she was so brutally tortured that her bones were deformed and the fingers of her right hand became permanently bent. She was later incarcerated and tortured in the now-defunct Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang for over two and a half years.
She was also home when her mother was arrested on April 24, 2011. To avoid arrest, she jumped out of a second-floor window and fractured her left thigh and had to have a metal plate installed.
Four years have passed, and Ms. Sun's leg is still crooked. The wounds on her lower leg are still visible and continue to ooze fluids. Due to her frail condition, doctors are hesitant to remove the metal plate. She cannot take care of herself and is in great pain.

Su Nan, Former Second Artillery Corps Official, Subjected to Extreme Brutality
In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners over the past 16 years. More have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang Zemin is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the Chinese Communist Party established an extralegal security organ, the 610 Office, on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
