刘成军因利用邪教组织破坏法律实施，破坏广播电视设施，于2002年9月被长春市中级人民法院判处有期徒刑19年，剥夺政治权利5年。刘体弱多病，狱方曾多次为其诊治。但由于刘痴迷邪教，拒绝治疗并绝食，导致病情加重。此后，刘被先后送往吉林市中心医院、吉林省监狱管理局中心医院和吉林大学中日联谊医院进行治疗，终因呼吸循环衰竭、低血容易性休克和急性肾衰竭，于12月26日在医院死亡。刘病重期间，其父母曾前往医院探视，对刘死因无异议。

　　“法轮功”炒作的所谓中国政府迫害刘致死的说法纯属蛊惑。

Truth about death of Liu Chengjun, an obsessed Falun Gong practitioner

Liu Chengjun was sentenced to 19 years' imprisonment, with five years' deprivation of political rights in September 2002 by Changchun Intermediate People's Court for the guilt of making use of the cult organization to sabotage the implementation of law and destroy radio and TV transmission facilities. Liu was weak and sick when he was in prison and the prison authority had diagnosed and treated him for many times. But Liu refused to have medical treatment and even refused to take food, resulting in worsening illness. Later on, Liu was successively sent to the Central Hospital in Jilin City, Central Hospital of the Jilin Province Prison Administration Bureau and China-Japan Friendship Hospital affiliated to Jinlin University for treatment. He died of respiratory circulating failure, hypovolemic shock and acute renal failure on December 26 in the hospital. His parents went to the hospital to see him when he was seriously ill and they had no objections to his cause of death.

It is completely demagogic for "Falun Gong" to hype up Liu Chengjun's death as a result of "cruel torment" by the Chinese Government.
