(Clearwisdom.net) On February 17, 2006 the Xinshi District Court in Baoding City, Hebei Province held a show trial of Falun Dafa practitioners Zhang Rongjie, Zhi Zhanmin, Liu Yongwang, and Wei Haiwu. Based on statements for the defense and related evidence, the court was unable to make a decision. It was known that the court had submitted files related to the case to its superior, the Baoding City Intermediate People's Court. A decision would then be made by a "committee" composed of heads of Baoding Intermediate Court and each sub-division.

The health of Dafa practitioners Liu Yongwang and Zhang Rongjie has been severely compromised from the abuse they have received in custody, and their lives are in danger. People of conscience inside the court said, "Were it not for the heavy pressure from our higher-ups, neither of them would be considered to be in good enough condition for detention." On February 17 at the show trial, several pairs of policemen had to carry each of the four Dafa practitioners, and Zhang Rongjie could hardly speak; Liu Yongwang was unable to walk normally. Both were dragged upstairs by the police.

Since their illegal arrest in August 2005, Zhang Rongjie, Zhi Zhanmin, Liu Yongwang and Wei Haiwu have been detained and persecuted in the detention center. By the time the show trial began on February 17, Zhang Rongjie had become so thin that he was skin and bones. He could hardly stand or sit. The whole illegal interrogation process was carried out under the control of the court police.
