Radio Free Asia: Increasing Persecution of Jiang Renzheng by the CCP Shocks the German Public

In Benxi, Liaoning, the persecution of Jiang Renzheng, a Falun Gong practitioner who was sent back to China from Germany, has increased again. German media and human rights organisations appealed to the whole society to pay attention to Jiang Renzheng family’s fate. The following is an extract from a broadcast by RFA’s special reporter Tian Yi:

Falun Gong practitioner Jiang Renzheng and his family went back to mainland China from Germany at the beginning of March. As soon as they arrived at Benxi, Liaoning, they suffered continuos persecution from the police and the national security department. From the information we got on Friday, the persecution has increased again. Ms Tang, who has been actively working on this issue, introduced her most recent situation to a reporter last week. The information that Jiang Renzheng has been detained and his family is not allowed to visit him shocked Germany’s media and human rights organisations again.

According to the reporter, in a speech that the Prime Minister of Germany gave to the Parliament on Thursday, he reaffirmed that the present Chinese Government is not the same as the one in 1989. Many German media personnel and groups that were concerned about Jiang Renzheng noticed that Jiang suffered such persecution simply because he practised Falun Gong abroad. He did not do anything after he went back to China. Therefore, they requested the German Government to react more effectively to Jiang Renzheng’s predicament.
