Practitioners Sun Jingyun and Wu Yuzhen Are on Hunger Strike to Protest the Persecution (Photos) By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jilin City, Jilin Province, China
(Clearwisdom.net) Jilin City Dafa practitioners Ms. Sun Jingyun and Ms. Wu Yuzhen were arrested
on November 23, 2004 and sentenced to six years in prison. Their families have
been working hard to fight for their case against the police, the courts, and
the detention center. Officials involved with the case have been trying to find
excuses and shirk their responsibility. Currently Sun Jingyun and Wu Yuzhen are
both detained at the Number 1 Detention Center in Jilin City. They both went on
hunger strike to protest the persecution. On November 23, 2004, led by National Security Brigade Captain Du Xingze,
police from the Changyi District worked together with police from the Dongjuzi
Police Station and arrested Sun Jingyun, Wu Yuzhen, and a dozen other Dafa
practitioners. The practitioners were telling the people facts behind the
persecution of Falun Gong at the morning market near the Jilin City Carbon
Element Factory dormitory. Later, the police ransacked Sun Jingyun's home while
nobody was home. In the morning of November 17, 2004, the 4th court of the Changyi
District Court of Jilin City started the trial of Ms. Sun Jingyun, Ms. Wu Yuzhen,
Ms. You Jinmei, and Ms. Liu Chunhua. When the judge slandered Dafa, Sun Jingyun,
Wu Yuzhen and You Jinmei all proclaimed, "Falun Dafa is upright, and Falun
Dafa is good." They used their righteous thoughts against the trial and
clarified the truth in court. Sun Jingyun, Wu Yuzhen and You Jinmei demanded that they be unconditionally
released and cleared of the charges forced upon them. Facing the practitioners'
righteous thoughts, the trial did not yield any results and went into recess. The Number 1 Detention Center in Jilin City has illegally detained several
hundred Dafa practitioners since July 20, 1999 and brutally tortured them.
Practitioners who went on hunger strikes were singled out. The guards violently
force feed practitioners who go on hunger strike. They also incite hatred
against Dafa practitioners in other inmates by purposefully punishing them, such
as prohibiting them from having family visits, break time, and purchasing food;
forcing them to sit in fixed positions for long periods of time; and depriving
them of sleep, in order to coerce them to join the guards in torturing Dafa
practitioners. Telephone: Number 1 Detention Center Women's deputies: Bian Hongbo Responsible Government Offices/Units: Jilin City Public Security Bureau, Changyi District Court, Jilin City Jilin City Public Security Bureau address: March 26, 2005 Posting date: 4/18/2005 |
