【新唐人2014年07月23日讯】7月20号，中共中纪委宣布，天津市公安局局长武长顺正在接受调查。有关武长顺落马的原因，中纪委只简单公布“涉嫌严重违纪违法”。而中国大陆媒体曝料说，武长顺疑似收取巨额贿赂。但评论指出，在目前周永康失势，政法委系统人人自危的情况下，武长顺的被调查，还隐藏着经济问题之外的原因。
几天前，天津市公安局局长武长顺还作为市领导，出现在《新华网》天津频道的报导中，20号下午，武长顺的名字又出现在中纪委网页的“要闻”中。不过，这次只有简单的一行字写着：“天津市政协副主席、市公安局局长武长顺涉嫌严重违纪违法，目前正接受组织调查。”
武长顺是中共“十八大”后，首个落马的天津副部级高官。大陆媒体引用知情人士的话说，武长顺疑似因为收受巨额贿赂被调查，他落马后，家里被查出的财、物，总价值超过亿元。
由于武长顺落马的日子——7月20号，正是中共在15年前，开始镇压民间修炼团体“法轮功”的日子，而武长顺所在的天津市公安局，又直接涉及镇压的导火索——“天津事件”。因此，武长顺落马后，他参与迫害法轮功的情况，也被海外媒体大量报导。
时事评论员张粟田：“这个武长顺落马，他不只牵扯到经济犯罪的问题。他和他的前任宋平顺，直接导致4•25大上访。它的导火索就是在天津，当时为了配合罗干、何祚庥，武长顺当时就是一个重要的最直接的参与者之一。”
所谓的“天津事件”，就是在1999年4月，前中共政法委书记罗干的亲戚何祚庥，在天津教育学院《青少年科技博览》杂志发表文章，捏造事实，指名攻击法轮功。部分天津法轮功学员因此自发去杂志社澄清事实。
由于法轮功学员和平理性的诉求，出版社一度准备发声明更正。但天津市公安局强硬介入，到4月23号，天津防暴警察殴打并抓捕了45名法轮功学员。警方还说，这是北京的命令，让法轮功学员去北京反映情况。由此引发了“4．25法轮功学员万人和平大上访”。
公开信息显示，武长顺于1998年9月被升为天津市公安局党委副书记、及副局长。一手提拔他的原天津市政法委书记、公安局长宋平顺 ，2007年也因滥权、腐化等问题被调查而自杀。
张粟田：“引发了4.25大上访，接下来就是江泽民对法轮功持续15年的迫害，造成亿万中国民众受到迫害。那么之后，宋平顺和武长顺可以说验证了中国那一句老话：善有善报，恶有恶报。天理不爽！”
然而，在长达15年对法轮功的镇压迫害中，许多天津市法轮功学员被迫害致死。例如2008年去世的李文霞。
原天津市法轮功学员王亚军：“（李文霞）她跟我亲口说的，她在劳教所里被放在厕所里，为了不让她睡觉，还把地上放上水。有一天警察踢她一脚，直接就踢到她的胃上，从此她就不能吃东西了。从原来九十多斤到六十斤。我两年之后我见到她的时候，还是骨瘦嶙峋的样子。”
为了制止当局对人权的迫害，2006年，天津法轮功学员曾给武长顺发出公开信，劝告他不要再跟随中共，迫害法轮功。但据美国《明慧网》的统计，身为公安局长的武长顺不但继续推动迫害法轮功，甚至亲自坐镇，抓捕法轮功学员。
张粟田：“从武长顺落马，可以看出，现在政法系统正在全方位从中央到各大省份，到各市，受到一种大清洗。随着周永康的落马、江泽民的失势，我相信会有更多的政法委系统党羽会被抛出来。”
据不完全统计，仅2012年，天津就有110人次的法轮功学员遭绑架、抄家等。11人被非法劳教；还有11人被非法判刑。而去年，天津有76人次的法轮功学员遭绑架、抄家；22人被非法判刑﹔今年上半年，天津有50名法轮功学员遭绑架，11人被非法判刑。截至今年7月，已有92名天津法轮功学员被迫害致死。

Tianjin Police Director Commits More Than Corruption
July 20, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection
(CCDI) announced Tianjin Public Security Bureau Director
Wu Changshun is under investigation.
He was accused of serious violation of discipline and law.
Mainland media reported that he received huge kickbacks.
Critiques explain the downfall of Zhou Yongkang has everyone
in the Politics and Law Committee at risk.
Just a few days ago, Wu Changshun was still the leader
of Tianjin and hit the news on the Tianjin Page of Xinhuanet.
On the 20th in the afternoon, Wu Changshun again appeared
in the news release.
The CCDI website read, “Deputy Chair of Tianjin political
commissar as well as the Tianjin Municipal Public Security
Bureau Director, Wu Changshun, alleged serious violation
of principle and law, is currently under investigation."
Wu Changshun is the first vice-ministerial level official
of Tianjin being sacked.
Sources told media that he accepted huge bribes.
Investigators have confiscated more than 100 million yuan
worth of belongings from his home.
Wu Changshun was sacked on July 20.
Exactly 15 years ago on this day, the CCP began the repression
of Falun Gong.
The Tianjin Public Security Bureau led by Wu Changshun
directly participated in the Tianjin Incident, the prelude
of the repression.
The downfall of Wu Changshun has naturally triggered
massive overseas reports of Wu’s involvement
in the persecution of Falun Gong.
Commentator Zhang Sutian: “Wu Changshun was not sacked
simply over economic crime.
The Zhongnanhai appeal on April 25, 1999 in Beijing was
caused by Wu Changshun and his predecessor, Song Pingshun.
Wu Changshun had a major role in the plot
set up by Luo Gan and He Zuoxiu."
The Tianjin Incident in April 1999 took place when He Zuoxiu,
a relative of former political and legislative affairs committee
secretary, Luo Gan, published an article on Tianjin’s Science
Review for Juveniles with fabricated information
to defame Falun Gong.
In reaction to He Zuoxiu’s slandering article, some Falun Gong
practitioners in Tianjin voluntarily approached the magazine
to clarify the facts.
Falun Gong practitioners’ peaceful and rational explanation
had the magazine ready to correct their statement.
But, Tianjin Public Security Bureau dispatched the riot police
and conducted the beating and arrest
of 45 Falun Gong practitioners.
Police claimed the order came from Beijing
and told the practitioners to reflect the situation to Beijing.
Thus, the April 25 peaceful petition of 10,000 Falun Gong
practitioners to Beijing took place.
Accordingly, Wu Changshun was promoted to deputy secretary
of Tianjin political commissar and deputy director
of Tianjin Public Security Bureau in September 1998.
Song Pingshun, then Tianjin Public Security Bureau Director
who promoted Wu, had committed suicide in 2007
on alleged abuse of power and corruption.
Zhang Sutian: “The persecution has lasted for 15 years
since the April 25 petition.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese were persecuted.
The tragedy of Song Pingshun and Wu Changshun
clearly identified an old Chinese saying:
What goes around comes around.
It’s justice."
In the past 15 years of persecution, many Falun Gong
practitioners in Tianjin have been persecuted to death.
For example, Lee Wenxia died in 2008.
Wang Yajun, a Falun Gong practitioner from Tianjin:
“She told me herself that they locked her in the restroom
of the labor camp.
To prevent her from sleep, they flood the restroom.
One day, a policeman kicked her right in the stomach.
Since then, she had not been able to eat.
She lost more than 30 lbs. When I saw her two years later,
she was skinny to the bone."
In 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Tianjin had issued
an open letter to Wu Changshun and asked him to quit
following the CCP order and stop the persecution
of human rights.
However, according to the Minghui.org statistics,
as police chief, Wu Changshun continued to drive
the persecution and directed the arrest
of Falun Gong practitioners.
Zhang Sutian: “The downfall of Wu Changshun shows
the political and legislative system is undergoing a full range
of cleaning, from the central to the province and city.
I believe the downfall of Zhou Yongkang and the diminishing
power of Jiang Zemin will lead to more crackdown
on their gangs in the political and legislative system."
Partial data have revealed that just in 2012, Tianjin had
experienced 110 Falun Gong practitioners being abducted
and homes raided; 11 were sentenced to forced labor;
and 11 imprisoned on illegitimate charges.
Last year, 76 Falun Gong practitioners in Tianjin were
kidnapped and homes raided; 22 people were sentenced.
This year, 50 Falun Gong practitioners in Tianjin were kidnapped,
and 11 people were sentenced.
As of July this year, more than 92 Falun Gong practitioners
have been known to be persecuted to death in Tianjin.
