Recently, some people inside the United
States ran newspaper ads calling Zhang Hongbao, now in
custody of U.S. authorities for his illegal entry into the
United States, a victim of China's persecution. Zhang has
been a fugitive for many years. The Chinese law enforcement
authorities are going after him not because he was once the
leader of Zhong Gong, but because he has committed heinous
crimes against Chinese citizens. No amount of spinning can
whitewash his criminal past. And no one should suggest that
by politicizing Zhang Hongbao's case, Zhang Hongbao should
continue to escape justice. As of today, the Embassy will
make available some legal documents pertaining to the case
in its web site: www.china-embassy.org.
Findings Report on Zhang Hongbao's
Activities by
Beijing Public Security
Bureau
July 25, 2000
Zhang
Hongbao, male of Han Nationality, was born on January 5,
1954. From Harbin, Heilongiiang Province by
origin, he has his permanent residence registered at 9
Jichang Donglu, Zhendong District, Haikou, Hainan Province.
On a gorged ID Card (No.612128530808613), Zhang’s
identity is Wang Xingxiang, male of Han nationality born on
August 8, 1953.
In October 1990, the Beijing
Public Security Bureau received reports by Li (female,
native of Chifeng, Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, born
on October10, 1949) accusing Zhang Hongbao of raping her
twice on June 16, 1990. The police started
investigation immediately. As a result, the police
discovered not only a lot of evidence pointing at the
claimed raping, which proved the validity of the accusation
by the victim, but with the investigation going further and
deeper, they also found out evidence pointing at other
raping cases by Zhang Hongbao. These include:
raping of old-aged Zhang (Female, native of Ya’an,
Sichuan Province, born on May 13, 1935) by coercive means in
November 1990; raping of minor Liao (female, native of
Liupanshui, Guizhou province, born on April 26, 1974) by
using knock-out incense on January 5, 1991; and raping of
disabled Zhang (Female, native of Suining, Sichuan province,
born on May 31, 1974) in disguise of treating her disease.
In these cases, Zhang Hongbao is suspected of having
breached Article 236 of the Criminal Law of the
People’s Republic of China for his grave violation of
the human rights of the victims and of having committed the
crime of raping. With the approval of the First
Division of the Beijing People’s Procuratorate, the
Beijing Public Security Bureau issued a warrant of arrest of
Zhang Hongbao on June 7, 2000.
The criminal
investigators found that in order to escape from the legal
responsibility, Zhang Hongbao settled in Pucheng County of
China’s Shaanxi Province in April 1993 on a forged
identity and acquired an ID with an assumed name of Wang
Xingxiang through deceptions (ID Card No. 612128530808613).
In December of the same year, he moved his
domicile to Foshan, Guangdong Province and acquired a
Chinese passport (No. 0719701) with that forged identity.
He exited China from Baiyun Airport of Guangzhou
on June17, 1994. With the above-mentioned
activities, Zhang Hongbao has gravely violated the relevant
provisions of Articles 280 and 322 of the Criminal Law of
the People’s Republic of China and is suspected of
committing the crime of illegal crossing of border
(boundary) and the crime of document forgery. With
the approval of the People’s Procuratorate of Pucheng
County, Shaanxi Province, the Public Security Bureau of
Pucheng County issued a warrant of arrest of Zhang Hongbao
on July 25, 2000 (Pu Gong No. C 2000
101).
Zhang Hongbao is currently detained in
Guam after his illegal entry into the United
States.
