A Disabled Practitioner is Illegally Tried in Tiexi District Court, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province
By a Dafa Disciple from Liaoning Province
(Clearwisdom.net) On January 31, 2005, the Tiexi District Court of
Shenyang City illegally tried Ms. Shi Shengying, a Falun Gong practitioner from
the Tiexi District, in the Courtroom 12 on the second floor of the courthouse.
Shi Shengying, 65 years old, was arrested in early December 2004, while she was
talking with the people about the truth of Falun Gong at Xinghua Park in the
Tiexi District. Since then, she has been illegally detained in a Shenyang City
jail. During her so-called "hearing," the chief judge repeatedly
interrupted Shi Shengying's testimony. Ms. Shi explained that she had been
disabled due to a car accident and that she had recovered only after beginning
to practice Falun Dafa. Although she had benefited from Falun Dafa both
physically and spiritually, she was being inhumanly persecuted for her belief at
the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. The chief judge interrupted her, "Do not
talk about these things. Just say whether you spread propaganda about Falun Gong
in the park." Ms. Shi's family members questioned the interruption and said
that it is absolutely legal for anyone to practice Falun Gong and to be a good
person. The main judge then hastily announced, "That is the end of the
hearing. A sentence will be announced on a selected date after a court
discussion." Right before the opening of the trial, a tall policeman threatened, pushed
and hit Ms. Shi's husband while he was trying to inquire about some
hearing-related questions. When Ms. Shi's daughter saw that her mother still
wore a pair of plastic slippers in the wintertime, she brought a pair of cotton
shoes for her mother. However, the police refused to allow the daughter to give
them to her. Tiexi District Court of Shengyang City |
