(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Mou Zongyan and Ms. Wang Yun from Rizhao City, Shandong Province were arrested one year ago. They have been detained in the Rizhao Detention Center. Without notifying their families, the Donggang District Court of Rizhao sentenced them to four years in prison. The two practitioners have appealed the sentence.
Mr. Mou Zongyan was an employee at the Rizhao Port Authority Bureau. On January 14, 2010, he was taken away from his office by personnel from the Rizhao 610 Office and the Rizhao Port Authority Bureau.

Among those practitioners, Mr. Li Yanting and Ms. Gao Xiuhua were sent to a forced labor camp for one year. Ms. Gao Xiuhua has been released. Ms. Liu Hairong was forced to become homeless and destitute in order to avoid further persecution. Mr. Mou Zongyan and Ms. Wang Yun have been held in the detention center for more than nine months. Without notifying their families, the Donggang District Court of Rizhao City held a court session against them on October 27, 2010.
Another practitioner, Ms. Ding Xi, was sentenced to one year of forced labor. On January 19, 2011, she was transferred to a forced labor camp from the Chengbei Detention Center. Her mother, Ms. Zhang Ping, is being detained at the Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp. On November 10, 2010, officers from the Qinlou Police Station arrested another practitioner, Ms. Qian Chun, and sentenced her to two years in a forced labor camp. Now she has been transferred to the Rizhao Detention Center. At that time, Zhang Xuyong, Shen Bin and Li Qiang from the Qinlou Police Station attended the court session against Qian Chun.
