677 signatures collected in petition demanding the release of Ms. Liu and Ms. Wang

Ms. Liu and Ms. Wang, from Junan County, Linyi City, were illegally arrested on the morning of January 16, 2014, while distributing truth clarification materials in Ganyu County in Lianyungang City. They are being held at the Xishan Village Detention Center in Lianyungang.

Ms. Liu and Ms. Wang were tried for the second time on July 15, 2014, at Ganyu County Court. Their lawyer made a not guilty plea, and requested that they be released, but the judge didn't make a ruling that day.
