(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Shandong Province) At 8:30 a.m. on October 18, 2009, Mou Aiping, the chief judge, and two alternate judges Lv Baoqing and Lihong from the Hanting District Court, Weifang City, Shandong Province sentenced Mr. Ge Kun to a nine year prison term.
Mr. Ge Kun was arrested on July 9, 2008. He was imprisoned and tortured him for more than a year. Mr. Ge Kun, who was a very healthy young man, is now emaciated and physically weak.
Mr. Ge Kun studied architecture at a university in Tianjin City. He is very honest, simple and kind. Anyone who knows him will attest to that. After the CCP began to persecute practitioners on July 20, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. Since then, officers attacked him with a knife, teachers detained him and the school expelled him. Mr. Ge Kun's address is Room 301, E Unit, Building #1, Zhonghe Street, Xiguan, Weicheng District, Weifang City. He was harassed frequently. Therefore, he couldn't live a normal life and was forced into homelessness.
At 6:00 a.m. on July 9, 2008, officers from the Weifang City's Domestic Security Division arrested Mr. Ge Kun at the Datuo Dormitory, Kuiwen District, Weifang City. They took him to the Weifang City Detention Center and refused family visitation. Officers ransacked his dormitory and confiscated his desktop computer, cell phone, digital camera, his mother's jewelry, bank book and other personal property valued at 35,000 yuan.
Mr. Ge Kun went on hunger strike. After six days, he was force fed and tortured. He was tied to a cross for six days. The cross was supported with iron pipes. His hands were stretched out and strapped to the cross. He suffered excruciating pain.
Guards interrogated him almost daily. They forced him to sit on an iron chair and interrogated him for four days and nights. He suffered sleep deprivation for five days. In December 2008, officers interrogated him again. Mr. Ge Kun's family visited him at the Changle Detention Center and brought with them some cotton clothes and feather jacket. The guard refused again family visitation and did not accept the clothes.
Mr. Ge Kun was cruelly tortured and suffered physically and spiritually. His face looked sallow and swollen. He was weak. Despite his condition, he was forced to work overtime daily.
On July 31, 2009, judges in Hanting District Court, Weifang City put Mr. Ge Kun on trial. His parents hired Wen Haibo, a human rights lawyer from Beijing as he was innocent. On January 5, 2009, Wen Haibo went to Hanting District Procuratorate to look through the files, but the officials refused to hand them over. At the end of May 2009, judicial officers confiscated Wen Haibo's law certificate. Mr. Ge Kun's family then hired Wu Jiangtao, a lawyer from Beijing Xinnuo Attorney Firm, to defend Mr. Ge Kun. When Wu Jiangtao went to review the files, the officials allowed him to review a little of Mr. Ge's file. They didn't allow the lawyer to copy the files. At the court session, the judges interrupted Wu Jiangtao many times when he tried to defend Mr. Ge Kun.
On October 18, 2009, the judges from Hanting District, Weifang City held a court session to charge Ge Kun for a second time and sentenced him to a nine year prison term.
Parties that participated in persecuting Mr. Ge Kun are: Hanting District Court, Weifang City; Weifang City Procuratorate, Kuiwen District Procuratorate, Hanting District Procuratorate, Kuiwen District Police Bureau.
Mr. Ge Kun's parents were devastated when they were told that their son was illegally sentenced to a nine year prison term.
