Practitioner Wang Jianguo's Family Appeals for Wang's Death Case and Voices Grievance (Photo)

Wang Jianguo, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jilin City was arrested by the police from the Nanjing Police Station, Jilin City on March 2nd, 2006. Tan Xinqiang was the head perpetrator in the arrest. Forty days later, Wang Jianguo, only thirty years old, was tortured to death by the people of the First Detention Centre in Jilin City. The tragedy broke the hearts of Wang's family. In addition, they were very worried about Wang's wife, Zhao Qiumei, who was also arrested at the same time as Wang Jianguo. She is now being held in the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp. Wang's family appealed to upper levels of the public security system. However, staff in the Department of Public Security told them freely, "Do you think we can possibly help you? How can we punish our insiders?"

Wang's family went to the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp on May 29th, 2006. Because they didn't have a chance to meet the director of the labour camp, they talked to the instructor of the Fifth Brigade about Wang Jianguo's death and requested that the labour camp release Jianguo's wife Zhao Qiumei in order to handle Jianguo's funeral. Also, it was Qiumei's last chance to view her husband's body. The instructor promised that Qiumei may go back home, but only briefly to take a look. However, he still had to get permission from upper levels who would have to discuss the case.

As of today, Jianguo's body is still in the Autopsy Centre in Jilin City. The Department of Public Security of Jilin City urged numerous times that the body should be cremated, and tried to force Jianguo's family to sign the consent form for the cremation so as to destroy the evidence. The policemen who murdered Jianguo came to destroy the funeral display and very rudely denied any responsibility. The appeals of Jianguo's family ended up in vain, and such injustice shocked many people. The incident had a great impact among the local people. They all complained about the injustice. Jianguo's family and all his relatives jointly resisted and protested the police's wicked conduct.

The staff members of Heizuizi Women Forced Labour Camp tried very hard to conceal Jianguo's tragic death from Qiumei.

Jianguo's family went to the Appeals Office at the Jilin Provincial Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee at around 3:00 p.m. on May 29th, 2006. The receptionist simply stamped a seal on the appeal form and told them to go back to the local authorities in order to resolve the issue.

Jianguo's family then went to the Appeals Office of the People's Congress at Jilin Province. A female official did the same thing to them.

Jianguo's family went to the Department of Public Security at Jilin Province. A male official who came out to meet them said, "We are unable to handle this case. Because you came from far away, I will simply chat with you privately. Don't take it as an official reply to your enquiries. Think about it, we belong to the Department of Public Security at the provincial level. You want to sue your local department of public security. We all belong to the same system. Do you think we can possibly help you? How can we punish our insiders?"
