(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Huang Huajie, a former manager in the Guangdong Province government, filed a criminal complaint against former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Jiang Zemin for launching the persecution of Falun Gong.

The complaint charges Jiang with illegal arrest, detention, torture, brainwashing, ransacking of homes, loss of job, and deprivation of religious freedom.

This case is one more in the wave of lawsuits against Jiang.

Mr. Huang Huajie mailed his criminal complaint to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court on June 1, 2015.

Among the First to Be Fired from Job and Expelled from Party

Mr. Huang was the land appraiser for Jiedong County, Jieyang City. As the former chairman of the Jiedong Land and Resource Bureau, he was responsible for land valuation in Jiedong County.

Jiang Zemin issued orders on May 8 and June 7, 1999, mandating that soldiers on active duty, CCP members, Youth League members, and civil servants were forbidden from practicing Falun Gong. The order said that all government employees practicing Falun Gong would be removed from key positions.

Given the above order, Mr. Huang was removed from his job even before the nationwide ban of Falun Gong went into effect in July 1999.

Officials from the County Party Office, County Government Office, and County Party Organization Department put pressure on Mr. Huang, and demanded that he give up the practice. He refused.

Instead, he went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong on November 14, 1999. He was arrested, taken back to the city, and detained for 15 days.

He was one of the first practitioners to be fired from his job for practicing Falun Gong, on September 20, 1999. He was also one of the first practitioners expelled from the Guangdong CCP on April 8, 2000.

Facing Persecution

Mr. Huang was arrested and detained, and his home was ransacked several times in 2000 and 2001. The police then sentenced him to a forced labor camp term for two years in January 2002.

He later went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong on April 17, 2004, and was arrested, detained, and sentenced to a six-year prison term at the Meizhou City Prison in Guangdong, where he was tortured, confined in a solitary cell, force-fed, and injected with unknown drugs. The torture included being hung by his handcuffed wrists, shocked with electric batons, and deprived of sleep. He was released in 2010.

The Jieyang 610 Office arrested him prior to July 20, 2012, took him to a brainwashing center, and released him two months later.

Background

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 in 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.
