6. [Deyang City, Sichuan Province] Practitioner Ms. Chi Xiaolan Sentenced to Three Years in Prison

Around 4:00 p.m. on January 2, 2005, practitioner Ms. Chi Xiaolan, a teacher from the No. 5 Middle School in Deyang City, Sichuan Province, was handcuffed and abducted by a middle-aged man, who is suspected to be from the 610 Office.

Chen Gang from the Deyang City 610 Office lied to Ms. Chi's family and told them they had videotaped her distributing truth clarification flyers. The Jingyang District Court bowed to pressure from the 610 Office and hastily sentenced Ms. Chi Xiaolan to three years in prison, from January 2, 2005 to January 2, 2007. The verdict was passed down on the afternoon of January 11 without following any legal procedures or any evidence being presented. They sent Ms. Chi to the Chuanxi Women's Prison on the morning of January 12, 2005, but the prison authorities refused to take her. They then sent her to Jianyang Women's Prison, but the authorities there also refused to take her. They then took her to Jingyang District Detention Center.

That same day, the court postponed Mr. Mao's case, saying that his documents were incomplete. When Mr. Mao walked out of the courthouse to get his bicycle, personnel from the police department and the local 610 Office beat him violently. In the end, they sent him to the notorious Xinglongshan Brainwashing Center.
