(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Tao Xizhen was illegally arrested on August 8, 2014. She has now been held in the local detention center for almost a year.

Local practitioners have been trying to secure her release.

In the meantime, Ms. Tao asked them to file a criminal complaint against Jiang Zemin on her behalf. Jiang, the former Chinese Communist Party leader, singlehandedly initiated the persecution of Falun Gong and ordered the brutal policies that have perpetuated the persecution for the past 16 years. Her fellow practitioners considered this a great opportunity to talk to the local police about the persecution.

They wrote out their complaints and took them to the local Appeals Bureau, the National People’s Congress, and the 610 Office. The officials were not pleased to hear that they were filing complaints against Jiang. However, the practitioners maintained very strong righteous thoughts, and persevered.

They described the crimes the former dictator has committed over the years. Supported by the righteous thoughts from practitioners waiting outside, the police and other officials did listen.

The practitioners later learned that the provincial inspection team was staying at the Sanjiang Forest Spa Hotel in Xianning City. When they went the hotel to deliver their complaints, officer Xu Chengzhong refused them entry.

Someone told the practitioners which room the officials were in, so they went to the room, and a staff person opened the door.

A Falun Gong practitioner handed him the complaints against Jiang, which the person took before officer Xu could grab them.
