[Penglai City, Shandong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Xu Hongwei and Liu Dagong Illegally Sentenced

According to reports from the Penglai TV station and information from local practitioners, Falun Dafa practitioner Xu Hongwei and Liu Dagong were arrested with other practitioners on June 2 by the local "610 Office." Xu and Liu were reported to the police because they copied and posted truth-clarifying materials. Xu was illegally sentenced to 5 years in prison, and Liu was sentenced to 2 years in a forced labor camp.

[The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.]

Xu Hongwei's father is a retired factory worker. Neither his mother nor his wife is employed. His family, with the recent birth of a son, is going through a very difficult time right now.

Liu Dagong, with righteous thoughts and actions, resisted cooperating with the police. He did not answer any questions during the interrogation, and was later sentenced to 2 years in a forced labor camp. Other practitioners who have been released or bailed out are required to participate in so-called "transformation classes." The person who is in charge of this task of "transformation" is the assistant secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee of Penglai City, Zhang Rongfu. His cell phone number is 86-13605457576.
