Mr. Liang Keming refused to sign the paper prepared by the police, so the court put him in jail again in a secret trail on April 28, 2010.
On April 28, 2010, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liang Keming from Loudi City, Hunan Province, was illegally sentenced to three years in prison. He is now detained in Jinshi Prison in Changde. Mr. Liang had previously been sentenced to seven years because he practiced Falun Gong. After he was released he was arrested again. Before being sentenced to prison, he was detained for eleven months at the 1st Detention Center of Loudi City. He was fed only brine with several pieces of radish, and was forced to work long hours.
Deceived by Domestic Security Police
At around 8:00 p.m. on June 25, 2009, after a customer got out of Liang Keming's taxi, two plainclothes policemen got into the taxi, and told him to go to the Domestic Security Bureau in Louxing District, the former Louxing District Police Precinct. Liang Keming drove there, but after arriving at the gate, the police arrested him and took him into the Domestic Security Bureau.
The police ordered Liang Keming to sign some materials, but he tore them up. His taxi was impounded, but Mr. Liang's family argued with the police, and managed to take the taxi back. Liang Keming was detained at the 1st Detention Center of Loudi City.
Mr. Liang Keming's wife went to Domestic Security Bureau in Louxing District on July 2 to ask for his release, but was ignored. On July 7, his mother, who was in her eighties, went there again, but Lan Lin, the Domestic Security Team Captain, refused to meet with her.
Diseases Gone after Practicing Falun Gong, only to be Detained for Seven Years
Mr. Liang Keming, in his forties, once suffered from cirrhosis. Without any medical help, he started to practice Falun Gong in 1996, and was cured.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began, initiated by Jiang's group on July 20, 1999, Liang Keming was arrested and detained many times by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He was detained most of the past ten years, and his family was drained of all their savings.
When Mr. Liang did the Falun Gong exercises outdoors in February 2001. He was told to stop and his music player was confiscated. He said, "You interfered with my freedom to practice, I will go to appeal!"
The police were afraid of him appealing, and arrested him that very night, after breaking into his home. They fabricated some charges, and sentenced him to seven years. Without relaying the judgment to his family, they secretly jailed him at Jinshi Prison in Changde City, Hunan Province. In February 2008, he was released. At that time he was very thin from the torture.
Again Sentenced to Three Years on Fabricated Charges
The Intermediate Court of Louxing District in Loudi City put Liang Keming on trial at 3:30 p.m. on October 13, 2009. His wife received the phone call notice at around 11:00 a.m. on October 13, notifying her that he would be put on trial that very afternoon. The presiding judge was Yang Guikui, the jury included Tan Xiaogui and Tan Jinmei, and the recorder was Jin Xuecen.
Authorities found no evidence that Mr. Liang Keming had hurt others, so the court could not publicize the sentence, and secretly sentenced him to a three-year term. On April 28, 2010, he was incarcerated at Jinshi Prison in Changde, Hunan Province.
