The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been persecuting Falun Gong practitioners for 12 years. The Chinese Communist Party established the 610 Office to carry out its persecution of Falun Gong, and organized public security, procuratorate, court, department of justice, army, police and community administrations to flagrantly violate the law and follow its dictates in repressing Falun Gong. 66 cases of persecution in Gansu Province were reported in 2010. This includes, of course, only reports that have been able to break through the CCP's information blockade to reach the outside world. Below is a summary of these reports from the Minghui website, presented in chronological order:
1. Ms. Xue Guixiang, about 60 years old, lives in the family housing of Institute 510 on Nanchang Road, Lanzhou City.

On the afternoon of January 13, 2010, the Jinchuan District Court held the first trial for Ms. Wang Yumei (41), Ms. Li Xia (48) and seventy-three-year-old Mr. Shi Ruzheng. The court listed the trial as an open trial, but police officers blocked the door and denied all requests for entry. Cheng Guang, the chief judge, went to the door and said that no audience members would be allowed in the courtroom because the case involved "national secrets." The trial lasted two and a half hours, and Mr. Shi was released afterwards. On January 20, 2010, the Jinchuan District Court in Jinchang City, Gansu Province held a closed-door trial for Ms. Wang Yumei, Ms. Li Xia, and Mr. Shi Ruzhen. No family members or practitioners were allowed in the court. No verdict was announced after the day-long trial. (http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2010/2/26/114952.html)

The four practitioners were arrested in August 2008, detained in Lanzhou City First Detention Center. They were sentenced to the above terms on May 6, 2009. Due to the sentencing not having any legal basis, they appealed to Lanzhou City Middle Court which declared that the “original sentence had no clear facts to support it. Send the case back to be heard again.” The Chengguan District Court of Lanzhou City held the retrial on August 3, 2009, but upheld the original sentence. These practitioners and their families received notice of the second sentence in the middle of October 2009, already past the deadline to file an appeal.

8. Falun Gong Practitioners Mr. Niu Ruiyi, 57, and his wife Wang Zhilan from Qijia Village, Xinxing Town, Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province were illegally arrested and taken from their home by the police. The police confiscated the 6080 yuan cash that Ms. Wang borrowed to build their son's house, a paper cutter and a disc burner. Mr. Niu has been detained in the Gangu County Detention Center since the arrest.
Life has been hard on Mr. Niu's family since his arrest. He had always been the backbone and the mainstay of his family. After his arrest, his second son had to be taken to the hospital for surgery while his wife was left completely helpless. Currently, Mr. Niu's wife and the three sons are bearing great hardship and grief in his absence.
In late May 2010, Mr. Niu was put through a show trial and sentenced to six years of imprisonment secretly by the Tianshui City Gangu County Court in Gansu Province. However, neither the police, the Procurator, nor the court gave Mr. Niu's family members a subpoena, notice of trial, or any legal document. Because of this, Mr. Niu's family could not serve as or hire legal representatives to defend him in court. The lawyer who was assigned to Mr. Niu by the court was not allowed to meet with him or to correspond with Mr. Niu's family members. After the trial, the family was still not notified promptly. Throughout the whole trial up until the final verdict, there was not a principal prosecutor present nor was their case open to the public. The defendant's family members were never notified of the trial. The family never received any kind of legal documents or any other kind of notice explaining what happened to him.
On the morning of August 28, Mr. Niu's brother-in-law received a phone call from the court asking him to visit Mr. Niu at the detention center. Eight people from Mr. Niu's family arrived at the detention center in the afternoon. There, the detention center guards demanded a "notice to the family." The family members told the guards they had not received any such document. The guards refused to let them in and told them to get a notice from the court.
When the family arrived at the courthouse, a judge told them, "Today is Saturday. No one works on Saturday." They had to go back to the detention center. The guards there said that they did not call anyone to come to visit Mr. Niu. Eventually, one of the guards allowed them to visit Mr. Niu. The family saw that Mr. Niu had become very thin and had a dark complexion from the abuse he suffered in the detention center. Parts of his body had become deformed. He told his family that he still firmly believed in Falun Gong.
As the family later found out, after the court had sentenced Mr. Niu, he was sent to the Gangu County Prison, but the prison refused to accept him. Police officers brought him back and planned to put him in the Tianshui City Prison, and it was then that they called the family to visit him on August 28.

Her poor health made her end up in the Kangtai Hospital (the labor camp hospital). When she returned, they placed her in Division 3. Wang Fukun, Division 3 leader, put her in handcuffs. She was forced to do hard labor during the day and was deprived of sleep at night. Inmates were assigned to watch her all the time for 10 days.

In December 2010, officers from the Jiayuguan Domestic Security Division arrested Ms. Liang, put her on trial on December 8, 2010, and extorted 5,000 yuan from her family before releasing her. On December 13, 2010, Ms. Liang Jingyuan was secretly sentenced to three years of forced labor. She was first taken to a detention center but was refused by the guards because they received truth-clarifying phone calls. On December 14, 2010, Ms. Liang was released and allowed to return home. On the afternoon of the same day, the police tried to force Ms. Liang sign an arrest warrant, but she refused.

64. Mr. Cao Dong, from Qingyang City, Gansu Province, is a graduate of Beijing Foreign Language University and worked at a travel company in Beijing. He has been detained at Tianshui Prison in Gansu Province. Mr. Cao's family has not heard from him by phone or through mail since July 2010. They mailed him money to pay for daily necessities at the prison in August, September, and October of 2010, but have not been able to confirm that he received it. They called the prison in November 2010 and were told by Liu, the section chief in charge of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, that Mr. Cao “is doing well and will be released soon.” No details about Mr. Cao's current condition were provided.
Mr. Cao was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in 2000. After he was released, in his effort to rescue his imprisoned wife, Ms. Yang Xiaojing, Mr. Cao met with the Vice President of the European Parliament, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, on May 21, 2006. During their two-and-a-half-hour meeting, he told Mr. McMillan-Scott how his wife and other practitioners suffered persecution. Plainclothes police officers from the Beijing Police Department Second Division illegally arrested him while he was on his way home after the meeting.
After being secretly detained in Beijing for three months, Mr. Cao was sent back to Qingyang City, his hometown. On February 8, 2007, he was sentenced to five years in prison. He has since been detained in solitary confinement at the Tianshui Prison in Gansu Province.
Upon being her release from the labor camp, Mr. Cao's wife became homeless in order to avoid further arrests and harassment by authorities. Due to the long-term physical and mental torture suffered during detention, poor living conditions, and living in constant fear and uncertainty, her health deteriorated, and she passed away on October 1, 2009.
During Mr. Cao's and Ms. Yang's eight-plus years of marriage, they lived together for less than a month, because one of them was always in detention for practicing Falun Gong.
Mr. Cao's family is worried about his current condition. His parents have been under tremendous stress due to the persecution suffered by their son. They are too weak to visit him since the prison is too far away. His in-laws' health has also deteriorated since the loss of their daughter (Mr. Cao's wife), so they are also not able to visit him.
