Recent Situation of Nine Dafa Practitioners in Shijiazhuang City Who Were Targeted for Persecution by the Ministry of Public Security
July 15, 2003 (Clearwisdom.net) At the end of September, 2001, a place for making truth clarification materials was destroyed by
the police in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province and 8 Dafa practitioners were taken away one after
another. They are Zhang Lingjiang, Shi Yan, Liu Runling, Lan Qizhi, Yang Xiaojie, Zhang Shijun, Zhao
Lishan and Niu Mingang. Together with Dafa practitioner Wang Yunman, who was abducted in August, the
nine practitioners were regarded as key targets for persecution by the Ministry of Public Security. On September 9, 2002, the 9 Dafa practitioners were illegally brought to a secret trial. Ms. Wang
Yunman had suffered severe physical torment after a continuous hunger strike for 8 months. After
that, the whereabouts of Wang Yunman, who was illegally held in the second detention center in
Shijiazhuang City, was suddenly unknown. So far, her family members and other practitioners haven't
seen her, and she isn't in the detention center either. In May 2003, Liu Runling and Lan Qizhi were illegally transferred to and detained in the second
prison in Shijiazhuang City. It was reported that Zhang Lingjiang and Shi Yan, who had continuously
been detained in the first detention center, had been sentenced to 12 and 11 years of imprisonment
respectively and were sent to the Shahe prison in the middle of June. In addition, Bai Yuzhi, in spite of her extremely dangerous condition after a long-term hunger
strike, was recently secretly sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment. She was also detained in the
second prison of Shijiazhuang City. Nobody knows if she is still alive. The first detention center of Shijiazhuang City The second detention center of Shijiazhuang City The second prison of Shijiazhuang City |
