Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Song Xu from Zhengzhou City Is Secretly Sentenced to Eleven Years in Prison Without The Right to Retain a Lawyer
(Clearwisdom.net)
Abduction
On February 4, 2001, Mr. Song Xu was abducted by police in Zhengzhou City,
Henan Province. He was wrongfully sentenced to three years of labor camp, and
detained in the Baimiao Labor Camp in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Song Xu
was brutally tortured until he became very weak, and was then bailed out for
medical treatment.
After he was bailed out for medical treatment, on November 10, 2002, Song Xu
was abducted while on the way to a fellow practitioner's home. Police did not
find any incriminating evidence, but interrogated him for seven days straight.
Police never notified his family of his whereabouts, even after he was missing
for several months.
Unjust Trial
On April 8, 2003, the Jinshui District Court put Song Xu on trial. Only a few
government officials from the police, procuratorate, and legal system showed up.
Under strong protests from Song Xu, they hurriedly proceeded with the trial.
They held the trial secretly and did not allow him to have a lawyer or the
ability to appeal. He was unjustly sentenced to 11 years. His family never
received any notice from the court.
On May 9, 2003, Mr. Song was sent to a prison in Xinmi County, Henan
Province, which is called the Qiligang Cement Factory or the Fifteenth Team.
According to sources, one police chief said, "If Song Xu promises not to go
to Beijing, we will look over anything he did before." One provincial "610
Office" head told Song Xu during the seven straight days of interrogation, "If
you stop practicing Falun Gong, I will find a job for you, and the salary will
be 2,000 yuan per month."
We have learned that several collaborators, who are still in detention and
have now been "reformed," know Song Xu. They have been instructed to fabricate
accusations against him.
Song Xu has been on hunger strike to protest the illegal persecution, and has
been force-fed everyday. For Falun Dafa practitioners who read this, please send
forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors in the other dimensions
that are causing the persecution, eliminate those old forces' helpers, negate
the old forces' arrangements, and help him escape from that evil den. For the
international community, please show your concern over this persecution against
Falun Dafa practitioners in China. Posting date: 1/2/2004
