(Clearwisdom.net) In October 2004, Falun Dafa practitioners Liang Biyan, Cai Junping, Liang Shenping, and others, were illegally arrested in Nanning and imprisoned by officials of the Nanning 610 Office. Later, the Chengbei District Court and Intermediate Court in Nanning City illegally sentenced them to three years. In June 2005, they were sent to the Guangxi Women's Prison and the Guangxi Litang Jail to be persecuted.
Since June 2005 when Ms. Liang Biyan was jailed, she went on a hunger strike to protest her mistreatment. It's been more than 140 days since then. During that time, her life has been in danger and she's received emergency medical treatment. On October 24, 2005, Liang Biyan was sent to Maoqiao Prison Hospital. As soon as she was out of danger, they immediately sent her back to the jail, where the persecution continued. Liang Biyan has become so thin that her health is jeopardized. Her life is in constant danger. Only after repeated requests from her family for medical treatment was she sent once more to the Maoqiao Prison Hospital on November 11, 2005.
On September 12, 2005, Dafa practitioner Ms.Wang Liya was abducted from her home in Nanning, which the authorities ransacked. The police confiscated four copies of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and some small cards saying "Falun Dafa is good". They detained Wang Liya at the No. 2 Detention Center in Nanning City. While she was there, her family members went to the National Security Team at the Qingxiu Public Security Sub-bureau in Nanning City several times to request her immediate release, but their requests were heartlessly and unjustly refused. Therefore, Wang Liya's family decided to use legal means, hoping they would receive justice. When the attorney they hired went to the National Security Team to request information on their behalf, he encountered the same type of unreasonable resistance that they had.
On October 15, 2005 officials of the National Security Team at Qingxiu Public Security Sub-bureau informed Ms.Wang's family that there was a change in her case, and she was to be imprisoned. Her attorney went to the National Security Team repeatedly to ask for information and request a meeting with the prosecutor. The officials at the National Security Team refused the attorney's request and warned him not to get involved, saying that "the case involves state secrets," that the investigation was "in its early stages," and that they were still collecting evidence.
So far the police have illegally imprisoned Dafa practitioner Wang Liya for more than 70 days. To date her family and their attorney haven't heard one word about her situation.
At present, the illegally imprisoned Dafa practitioners at the No.2 Detention Center in Nanning City include Wang Liya, Zhong Erbo, Deng Hongxia, Huang Qingyu, and others.
We strongly appeal for the immediate release of the imprisoned practitioners, and demand the end of the persecution of Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners!
