(Clearwisdom.net) Several Falun Gong practitioners were
illegally sentenced by the Wuling District Court in Changde
City,on November 4, 2010. They were Ms. Liu Xianju, sentence of 10
years; Ms. Li Fangyun, 9.5 years; Mr. Wang Xiaohui, 9 years; Mr. Li
Haijun, 8.5 years; Mr. Liu Huiping, 7.5 years; Ms. Zeng Lihua, 7
years; Mr. Man Sanqing, 5 years; Ms. Chen Lingci, 3 years. The
court didn't even bother to get signatures from those who were
sentenced, and the "verdicts" were casually handed out when the
trial ended. The practitioners asked that their cases be retried.
The Wuling District Court set the new trial date for March 30,
2011.
Some time during the trial, elderly practitioner Ms. Liu Xianju
suddenly suffered serious convulsions, foaming at the mouth. Then
she and another ill and elderly practitioner, Ms. Li Fangyun, were
taken to a hospital. After they left, the trial continued and the
five other practitioners were given exactly the same sentences as
the last trial. They are currently being held in the First and
Second Detention Centers in Changde City, and a detention center in
the Dingcheng District.
Later, Ms. Liu Xianju and Ms. Li Fangyun were taken from the hospital to the First Detention Center in Changde City. The court is currently preparing another illegal trial for the two ladies, as well as one other practitioner, Mr. Fan Congrong. Mr. Fan, 41, is employed with the Pingan Insurance Company in Changde. He was arrested directly from his work unit by officers with the Chengdong Police Station in Changde City on December 6, 2010.
In December 2009, more than 30 practitioners were illegally arrested, including Ms. Liu Xianju, Mr. Wang Xiaohui, Mr. Li Haijun, Ms. Liu Huiping, Ms. Li Fangyun, Ms. Chen Lingci, Ms. Zeng Lihua, and Mr. Mang Sanqing. The arrests were carried out by officers Huang Junhua, Wang Yongkang, Wu Xiyong of State Security Brigade of Public Security Bureau of Changde City, and other officers from police stations in the Wuling District. All the practitioners were held and persecuted in detention centers in Changde City.
