With Nowhere to Turn, 80-year-old Grandmother Proclaims Grandson's Innocence at a Train Station

Mr. Wang Jianguo, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jilin City, died as a result of persecution after a 40-day incarceration in a Jilin city detention centre, just because he practised Falun Gong to be a good person. On Monday, May 15th, 2006, Mr. Wang's grandmother went to the Jilin City train station and held his picture and a poster with a large character for "Injustice." She tearfully told passersby and passengers about this injustice.

Mr. Wang's grandmother sat on a stone platform in front of the waiting room. Tearfully, she complained about the unjust circumstances surrounding her grandson's death. She took out documents that chronicled how Wang Jianguo was persecuted and abused till he died in the Jilin City Detention Centre. Because there were many people at the train station, a crowd of people soon surrounded her. People who wanted to know the facts came to ask for the materials and passed them around to read. A girl came and asked a woman who was reading the documents, "What is the nature of the injustice? Was he really treated unfairly?" The woman replied, "It is indeed unjust. Her grandson practised Falun Gong and was arrested and locked up in the detention centre. Forty days later he was dead." The kind- hearted girl came over to the grandmother and said, "Grandmother, don't cry any more. It will hurt your health and won't solve the problem."

A 60- to 70-year-old man said, "This girl is right. You can't cry. Please save your energy to sue them!" The girl said, "Grandmother, can you tell us what happened?" She said with her heavy southern accent while crying, "They killed my grandson and put my granddaughter-in-law in jail as well. A few days ago a group of policemen arrived and knocked down the temporary mourning shed we built inside our yard to express our sadness and memorialise his spirit. They took away all the material the shed was built with, not leaving even a single stick of wood. What kind of a world is this?"

A gentleman in his 50s said, "Crying here can't help you to solve anything. You should go to the city hall to state your grievance." The grandmother said, "We went there twice already. No one would even talk to us." The girl said, "Don't cry. Please write this incident in a petition letter and let your relatives include their fingerprints. Then sue them in court." The grandmother said, "I don't know how to read and write." The girl then said, "Let me help you to find a reporter. Please tell me your address and phone number, OK?"

The grandmother's relative told her their address and said, "Thank you!" The kind-hearted girl said, "You are welcome. This is what I should do. Everyone should have a sense of justice." An older lady said angrily, "Even if a serious criminal who had been sentenced with a heavy term was beaten to death, the murderer has to take legal responsibility. It is as if we don't have any laws to restrict those evildoers!"

A young man said as he was reading the flyer, "We should get this news on the Internet so that many more people will know." A middle-aged man holding his bike said, "Even if you send this to a website, who would dare to publish it for you? Unless you can send it to the Minghui website! I know this overseas website tells the truth." Another gentleman sighed, "What is the law? There is so much injustice, so many wrongful cases, especially this kind. Who will care and take responsibility?"

Many people actively asked for the leaflets exposing the persecution and passed them around to read.
