(Minghui.org) Mr. Feng Baoding is an Anning City resident who is currently facing trial for practicing Falun Gong, and his family members are suing the arresting officers for a second time.
Mr. Feng was arrested on October 7, 2017, for pasting adhesive stickers with messages about Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline being persecuted by the Chinese communist regime.
His arrest was approved on November 13, 2017, and his case was submitted on January 12, 2018, to the Anning City Procuratorate and returned back on January 26.
After his arrest, Mr. Feng's family filed a complaint before February 16, 2018, against six officers in the Anning City Police Department: Ye Lin, Wang Yankun, Yin Shangrong, Zhang Chun, Li Yunchang, and Li Xinghua. The complaint was submitted to the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, Yunnan Province Procuratorate, and Kunming City Procuratorate to ask for Mr. Feng's release.
After requesting an extension for filing the lawsuit against Mr. Feng, the Public Security Bureau finally submitted the case on April 12, 2018 to the Xishan District Procuratorate.
In July, a second complaint was mailed to three more agencies: Ministry of Supervision, Yunnan Province Bureau of Supervision, and Kunming City Bureau of Supervision.Reasons for Filing the Complaints
After Mr. Feng was arrested and detained, the police forced their way into his home and ransacked the place without a search warrant. According to Criminal Law, this amounts to illegally trespassing on citizens' property. Moreover, Zhang Chun and Li Yunchang of the Anning City Police Department refused to send the documents of Mr. Feng's administrative detention and approval of the arrest. When Mr. Feng requested a copy of the documents, other officers used the excuse of seeking permission from the top to avoid doing it.
After the lawyer submitted to Xishan District Procuratorate a letter to request his client's release and application to request forensic evaluation of prosecution evidence, the procuratorate sent the case forward without an investigation.
After the lawsuit was filed, according to the law, the judge should have sent the indictment to Mr. Feng. However, the judge used the excuse that Mr. Feng refused to sign on the indictment and refused to give it to him.
Mr. Feng's family is demanding that the officers be prosecuted for illegally ransacking the house, illegal trespassing, and depriving citizens' freedom of religious belief, and that Mr. Feng be released unconditionally.
