The most powerful judicial official in a populous northeastern Chinese province has been suddenly felled from his post after being hauled in for questioning by Communist Party investigators.
Chinese officials subject to investigation, with their extravagance and criminality, rarely make for sympathetic figures at the best of times. But there’s a group of Chinese—practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline—who will be particularly interested to see the reckoning that awaits Zhang Jiacheng, formerly the head of the Department of Justice of Liaoning Province.
For over a decade, Zhang ordered and supervised their capture, enslavement, torture, and murder for body parts.
