Former Chinese Communist Party leader Hu Jintao recently traveled to Yancheng City in Jiangsu Province to personally deal with the case of two Falun Gong practitioners, the sons of a senior Party official, who were detained and tortured, according to sources familiar with the reason behind the trip.
Hu, accompanied by Li Zhanshu, Director of the General Office of the CCP Central Committee, visited Nanjing, Wuxi, Taizhou, Yancheng and other cities in Jiangsu Province between Dec. 26 and Dec. 29 last year, reported the state media Xinhua. But according to the source, Hu’s visits to the other cities were a foil for his visit to Yancheng City to deal with the Falun Gong matter.
