Who has Ultimate Responsibility for These Crimes of Rape?

Today I was deeply shocked upon hearing some news! On the evening of November 24th, 2005, police from Dongchengfang Township, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province arrested female Falun Gong practitioners Liu Jizhi, 51, and Han Yuzhi, 42, at their Xitong Village, Dongchengfang Township home. At 2 p.m. on November 25, policeman He Xuejian raped Liu Jizhi and Han Yuzhi during interrogation and detention at the Dongchengfang Township Police Station.

When He committed this heinous crime, Liu called loudly for help. Alas, policeman Dajun simply stood there and watched, instead of preventing the crimes. Before the rape, the police abused Liu over and over again. They shocked her breasts with electric batons and cruelly injured her legs, buttocks, and other parts of her body.

Every person with any sign of humanity will be thoroughly indignant upon hearing such news. In broad daylight, with people both inside and outside the room, a policeman raped two kind elderly women from his own hometown! Not even animals would stoop that low! The crime is beyond words. Only demons could carry out such a heinous crime.

It is difficult to imagine how policeman He would feel if his mother and sisters were abused in such a heinous manner. I wonder how his friends and relatives will feel about him when they hear the news. His crimes produced more karma than he will be able to repay. Figuratively speaking, his karma has become higher than a mountain. He has brought shame to his family, which will haunt his family and people living in his area for generations to come. This inhuman and shocking crime will make people remember this area of Hebei province, Zhuozhou City and Dongchengfang Township, as place they'd rather not visit for a long time to come. Yet, it is greatly disturbing to think about the great and long-lasting suffering this crime brings the victims and their families.

Condemning the criminal who has committed this atrocious crime is not enough, because we have witnessed too much and too many similar crimes over the past years.

On May 14th, 2001, a depraved policeman stopped a female Falun Gong practitioner while distributing fliers in Beijing. The policeman beat the practitioner for over 2 hours, knocking out her two front teeth. Then he raped her.

In Wanjia Forced Labour Camp, fifty to sixty female practitioners in Division No. 12 who refused to write a "statement" renouncing Falun Gong were forced into the men's cells. There, they suffered cruel torture. This occurred on May 24th, 2001. An eyewitness observed that several police officers carried a female practitioner into one of the men's cells where she was gang raped by three male prisoners.

Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province was made infamous for having stripped 18 female Falun Gong practitioners naked and thrown them into men's cells. A gang rape was the result.

In May 2003, Ms. Wei Xingyan, a graduate student at Chongqing University in Sichuan Province, was raped by a policeman in front of two female prison inmates after she was taken into police custody for practising Falun Gong.

In 2005, policemen in Miyun County, Beijing raped a 17-year-old female Falun Gong practitioner in broad daylight.

The thought of these crimes causes me to hold deep-seated anxieties. For every victim, the mental and physical torment is beyond words. The worst part is, these heinous crimes are only the tip of the iceberg, as they are happening throughout China. The above mentioned incidents indicate clearly the evilness of the persecution against Falun Gong. Police who commit these crimes are evil beyond description. But, the root cause of such evil is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which controls the persecution and allows these crimes to be perpetrated systematically and for a long period of time.

The persecution policy initiated by Jiang Zemin allows the police to escape punishment, no matter how heinous their crimes. They claim, "Practitioners killed in the persecution have committed suicide," and cremate practitioners' bodies immediately after they are killed (to eliminate evidence of officials' wrongdoing). In short, Jiang has given corrupt officials and police license to do whatever they please in the persecution of Falun Gong.

The policy brought to light the corrupt authorities' evil nature and gave them free reign to abuse female practitioners. The policy has established a safety net for police who rape female practitioners, while in police uniform and in the name of "enforcing the law."

CCP policies are the underlying cause for such heinous crimes happening throughout China. CCP protection allows such crimes to continue unchecked, and criminals go unpunished.

For every country and society, the existence of women's rights is a clear indication of how civilised the country/society is. Protecting women's rights is the fundamental root behind morality. We remember the heroine Qiu Jin, who achieved a place in China's history when facing death with a smile at the gate of Guxuan Pavilion, Shaoxing City in 1907. She had two requests: "Do not publicly display my head, and do not take off my clothes," and both were honoured by the corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Alas, the CCP's crimes are without doubt the most heinous and without equal in all of China's history.

We recall that sixteen years ago, a foreign journalist interviewed Jiang Zemin. He was questioned about a female college student who had survived the Tiananmen Square Massacre, only to be raped in a forced labour camp. Jiang commented, "Serves her right!"

The CCP persecutes millions of innocent practitioners while bringing about rape and sexual abuse. Many female practitioners suffer cruel and inhuman torture.

Statistics speak for themselves -- as of this date, female practitioners count for 54.7% of the verified 2,790 practitioners tortured to death.

It is easy to recognise the decadence of the CCP and China's regime. One can clearly see the deterioration of China's morality. When the country's law enforcement is run by criminals, how could human dignity and social security be maintained? How could the basic values of human civilisation be maintained? Looking at it from this angle, it becomes evident that victims of the persecution of Falun Gong are not only practitioners, but also entire nation and all of humankind.

Incidents of police raping innocent women have become a common occurrence. Such incidents cry out for the persecution to stop. We ask the CCP officials who ignore the heinous crimes and atrocities committed by their inferiors, "How are you different from those criminals who commit the actual crimes? You who quietly sit by the sidelines and watch these evil deeds happen. How could you face your conscience?

One day, the criminals and the CCP officials who are responsible for the persecution and its crimes will be tried by human laws, and courts that uphold morality and heavenly principles. As the truth about Falun Gong becomes widely known and people are awakening, the time of reckoning draws closer.
