【新唐人2013年03月21日讯】去年（2012）6月，河北省正定县曾发生当地民众按手印、联名营救法轮功学员的“700手印”事件，引起中共当局的恐慌，而疯狂抓捕法轮功学员，并恐吓参与营救的民众。但面对打压，越来越多的当地民众站出来反对迫害。目前，正定县已经有超过一万人签名、按手印，要求当局释放法轮功学员。
《明慧网》报导，河北正定县民众营救法轮功学员的签名活动，已经进行到第六轮，有6,564人签名声援。从“700手印”事件至今，正定县累计签名人数已多达10,955人。
去年6月，美国爱荷华州州长到访正定县，正定县专门迫害法轮功的“六一零办公室”和政法委，以“安保”为名，绑架了法轮功学员李兰奎老人。事件引发当地民众不满，开始按手印、签名，联名要求当局释放李兰奎。这就是引发轰动的“700手印”事件。
民众联名营救法轮功学员令中共政法委非常震惊，河北省“六一零”、公安、国保、国安等，在正定县、石家庄市区、藁城等地，开始疯狂抓捕法轮功学员和参与按手印的民众。
李兰奎老人以经营废品谋生。他被河北当局非法劳教了一年零三个月。
除李兰奎以外，还有法轮功学员贾志江等16人，也被河北当局先后绑架到石家庄市第一看守所院内的“石家庄市公安刑警培训中心”（也叫警犬培训基地）。他们在此遭受了毒打、高压电击、铁椅子等酷刑，并连续10几天“不让睡觉”。
有维权律师代理了“贾志江案”，并向正定县检察院递交控告状，要求立案调查正定县公安局高国等人，对贾志江实施酷刑的犯罪行为。同时，当地大批民众继续签名，要求当局释放贾志江等法轮功学员。
对此，由中国公民成立的“德先生研究所”山东成员李向阳对《新唐人》表示，法轮功学员遵从“真、善、忍”的道理行事做人，得到广大老百姓的认可和尊重。因此，法轮功学员被迫害引起社会关注也是必然。
德先生研究所山东成员李向阳：“假如有一个全民公投的话，中国肯定会有90%以上、甚至还要多的公民是坚决支持法轮功学员、反对对法轮功学员迫害的。”
作为民间法律工作者的李向阳认为，法轮功学员信奉的“真、善、忍”准则，涵盖了中华民族文化的精粹，和对真理、正义的追求精神。而中共所做的一切，恰恰相反。
李向阳：“像共产党主张的一些政策、搞的专制特权，全部都是和道德相背离、被人类社会唾弃。”
近年来，中国大陆民众反对当局迫害法轮功学员的呼声日益高涨，各地连续出现民众签名、按手印，营救当地法轮功学员的事件。
除了“河北正定700手印”之外，还有“河北泊头”要求释放法轮功学员王晓东的“300手印”事件、“河北唐山”声援郑祥星的“562手印”事件，以及黑龙江省为法轮功修炼者秦月明一家申冤的“ 15,000手印”等。
《明慧网》报导，“700手印”事件之后的大抓捕直接责任人，是河北省政法委书记兼省公安厅厅长张越，和河北省“六一零”主任李剑方。

Thousands of Rescue’Signatures for Falun Gong Practitioners
In June 2012, the 700 fingerprints case in Zhengding,
Hebei Province, became well known.
Hundreds of local people then paced their thumbprints
in a petition to rescue Falun Gong practitioners.
This caused panic in the communist authorities;
they crazily arrested Falun Gong practitioners, and intimidated people.
But in the face of pressure, more and more local people
stood up against the persecution.
Currently, over one million signatures and thumbprints
are collected in Zhengding, demanding the release of the Falun Gong practitioners.
According to the website Minghui, the public signatures
campaign to rescue Falun Gong practitioners continues.
It has been carried to the sixth round in Zhengding,
and there are 6,564 signatures of solidarity.
From 700 fingerprints events, so far, the number of
signatures in Zhengding has reached 10,955.
In June 2012, the governor of Iowa visited Zhengding.
Then 610 Office arrested Falun Gong practitioner Li Lankui,
in the name of maintaining security.
This event caused discontent amongst local people,
and they started to sign a petition for the release of Li.
This is the sensational 700 fingerprints case.
Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Political and Legislative
Affairs Committee {PLAC) was shocked by populace’s
joining the rescue of Falun Gong practitioners.
The 610 Office, Public Security Bureau, State Security’ and
Domestic Security Offices in Hebei Province joined efforts.
They frantically arrested Falun Gong followers in Zhengding,
Shijiazhuang, Gaocheng, and those who signed the petition.
Li Lankui was illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp
for a year and three months by Hebei authorities.
In addition to Li, Jia Zhijiang and another 15 Falun Gong
practitioners were also kidnapped by Hebei’s authorities.
They were taken to Shijiazhuang Municipal Public Security
training center, known as the police dog training base.
They were beaten, and tortured with high-voltage batons,
iron chairs, sleep deprivation for many days, etc..
A human rights lawyer took care of Jia Zhijiang’s case,
submitting indictment bill to Zhengding Prosecutor’s Office,
to initiate an investigation of the crime of tortures against
Jia by Gao Guo and others in the Zhengding Security Bureau.
Meanwhile, many people continued to sign petitions,
demanding the release of Jia Zhijiang and the others.
NTD interviewed Li Xiangyang from the ‘Research Institute
Mr. De,’established by Chinese citizens.
He said, Falun Gong practitioners comply with the principles
of “truthfulness, compassion, forbearance."
For that they get people’s recognition and respect,
thus it is understandable that Falun Gong practitioners’ persecution causes public concerns.
Mr. Li Xiangyang: “If there is a referendum, China will surely
have over 90% citizens firmly supporting Falun Gong
practitioners and being against the persecution."
As a civil legal worker Li said, Falun Gong practitioners
believe in “truthfulness, benevolence, forbearance,"
which covers Chinese culture’essence and the pursuit of
justice and truth. What CCP does is just the opposite.
Li Xiangyang: “Some of the policies advocated by the CCP,
and its authoritarian privilege are all moral deviations,
spurned by the human society."
In recent years, Chinese people objections of Falun Gong’s
persecution has become stronger in China.
Continuously there are cases of people signing petitions
to rescue local Falun Gong practitioners.
In addition to the 700 fingerprints case in Zhengding,
there is also the 300 fingerprints case in Botou, Hebei.
The latter demands for the release of
the Falun Gong practitioner Wang Xiaodong.
Furthermore, 562 fingerprints were collected in Tangshan,
Hebei, in solidarity with Zheng Xiangxing,
and 15,000 fingerprints petition seeks redress of the case
against Falun Gong practitioner Qin Yueming’s family in Heilongjiang Province.
The Minghui website reported on the people responsible
for the mass arrests in the 700 fingerprints case.
They are, Hebei’s PLAC secretary Zhang Yue, and the Public
Security Bureau’and, 610 Office’director Li Jianfang.
