The Zunhua City Police and Justice Department Refuse to Release Mr. Zhao Jingjun Despite Lack of Evidence

"Mr. Zhao Jingjun has been detained for more than five months, and he will now be tried in court." As this news was spread all over Qihu Village, some of the villagers became very angry and said, "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) does nothing good. It just arrests good people. It's dark in the communist regime and there is nowhere to find justice."

After Mr. Zhao, a Falun Gong practitioner, was arrested on July 6th, 2008, the Zunhua City Police Department in Hebei Province fabricated evidence and requested an arrest warrant. The Zunhua City Court put Zhao Jingjun on trial on November 25th. Because of insufficient evidence, the Court rejected the case and sent it to the Procuratorate for further investigation. Mr. Zhao's family has already asked for help from a lawyer.

Mr. Zhao, 38, is from Qihu Village, Dongjiuzhai Town, Zunhua City. He has been repeatedly persecuted by the CCP. Before practising Falun Gong, he had gastroptosis, hemicrania, and stomach pain. He was in so much pain that he rolled around in bed all day. He couldn't use just any medication because inappropriate use of medicine would cause an allergic reaction and his whole body would become swollen and he would suffer even more. He also had a very bad temper and often argued with his wife. He even wanted to divorce her.

In 1998 he began practising Falun Gong. As a result, his illnesses disappeared in less than a month and he also became amiable and open-minded. He and his wife lived together in harmony.

In July 1999, the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong. In September 1999, Mr. Zhao went to Beijing to peacefully appeal on behalf of Falun Gong to the CCP regime, and was detained at the Zunhua City Detention Centre for almost three weeks. In addition, CCP officials extorted over 4,000 yuan¹ from him.

In late autumn of 2000, Mr. Zhao was deceived by officials from the Dongjiuzhai Police Station and detained there for more than 40 days. While he was detained, he was not allowed to have any meals unless he paid for them. The CCP officials didn't provide any winter clothes for him and didn't allow his family members to bring anything for him from home. Later on, they extorted an additional 1,000 yuan from Mr. Zhao.

On August 9th, 2001, when he was doing household chores at home, officers from the Dongjiuzhai Police Station and the National Security Division in Zunhua City, (Zhang Futing, Zhang Guishen, Wang Kunyuan) arrested Zhao Jingjun and detained him for over four months. During that time, he was not allowed to use the toilet for eight days and he almost died from a swollen abdomen.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the CCP started another round of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. On the afternoon of July 6th, Zhang Lisheng from the Dongjiuzhai Police Station, Zunhua National Security Division Director Wang Kunyuan, Zhang Zhimin, and other officials broke into Mr. Zhao Jingjun's home. They took pictures and ransacked his home and then sprayed an unknown poison on Zhao Jingjun and forcibly took him away. In addition, the police kicked his four-year-old son and sprayed mace into the faces of his ten-year-old son and his 60-year-old mother. The chemical was very irritating to their eyes, causing redness and pain. His ten-year-old son put his head into a big vat full of water due to the severe pain and he couldn't open his eyes for days.

After Mr. Zhao was arrested, his supervisor and his colleagues all made phone calls to get information about his whereabouts. They all praised Mr. Zhao, saying that he was a righteous person. Mr. Zhao is good at welding and works so hard and diligently that all of his supervisors like him very much. His colleagues also respect him very much.

Zhao Jingjun did everything by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance and Falun Gong manifested miracles in him. On one occasion a steel railing weighing several tons fell on his leg and he was unhurt. Another time a steel plate fell on his toe and his toenail was torn away, but his foot did not swell or ache. He studied the Falun Gong teachings and practised Falun Gong exercises at home for 12 days and then went to work without asking his boss for any reimbursement.

He earnestly helped others and had a good reputation among his friends. On his way to his workplace or home, when he saw stones on the road, he stopped his motorcycle and moved them off the road. If someone needed help, he always tried his best to help them. He helped someone in a traffic accident and rescued the victims and was not afraid of being sued. One evening during the winter of 2006, he was on his way home when he saw a woman with a bleeding face asking for help. Nobody paid any attention to her since they feared extortion. He stopped immediately and asked her for her phone number. Then he called her family and put his coat around her. He waited in the cold wind for her family members for over an hour. Afterwards, the woman's son brought him many gifts to show their gratitude. He returned the gifts and bought a gift for the victim. He told them that helping others in need and doing good deeds are the right thing that every cultivator should do.

Why should a good person like him be made to suffer so tremendously during the past nine years of the persecution of Falun Gong? He can never go home and his wife has had a difficult time raising their two children.
