1. [Jinan City, Shandong Province] Ms. Liu Hongmei and Ms. Wang Wei Again Sentenced to Seven and Five and one-half Years in Prison, Respectively
On October 1, 2001, Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Liu Hongmei, Ms. Wang Wei and Ms. Li Chengxiang were sentenced to threes years of forced labor for distributing truth-clarifying materials at Mount Tai. They were held at Jinan City's Jiangshuiquan Forced Labor Camp. Later they were transferred to the city's Liuchangshan Detention Center, where they were detained beyond their term for one and a half years. Furthermore, they were bound onto the dead person's bed for one month. (In this torture, the four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an icy-cold metal bed. The practitioner is tied down at all times and must therefore be fed by someone else. Sleeping, eating, excreting and menstruating are all done on the bed. For this reason the practitioner is often stripped naked. This treatment may last from several hours up to many weeks, in which case the practitioner feels the pain of his whole body atrophying.)
In April 2003 at the city's Lixia District Court, Ms. Liu spoke out that Judge Zhu Qingzhen did not follow the law. Judge Zhu therefore issued an order forbidding her from saying anything. Ms. Wang announced in court that she would continue to practice Falun Dafa.
Ms. Liu and Ms. Wang were sentenced to seven and five and one-half years in prison, respectively. They are currently being detained at Wards No. 7 and No. 1 in the Shandong Provincial Women's Prison. Since being in prison, Ms. Liu has been on a hunger strike over half a year. She is the only one who doesn't wear a prisoner's uniform.
Ms. Liu's father was a senior officer with the Weihai City's Public Prosecutor's Office. After he saw how his daughter was brutally tortured, he passed away.
Ms. Wang has an eight-month old son. Her husband is being held at Jinan City's Forced Labor Camp, so the boy is deprived of his parent's care.
