610 Office Denies Defense Lawyer Access to Practitioners

By a practitioner in Qingdao City, Shandong province

(Clearwisdom.net) Four Falun Dafa practitioners were snatched in Qingdao City around September 21, 2005. The four are Sun Hong, Min Huirong, Ou Yunjie and Cui Luning, all of whom now face illegal "trial." The police held the couple Sun Hong and Min Huirong without bail. They were sent to a brainwashing center in Qingdao City to await trial.

Three months later, on January 14, 2006, the police arrested the couple claiming they found some 650 Falun Gong documents on their home computer. The family hired a defense lawyer, who naturally requested to meet with his clients. The Lichang Public Security Bureau denied the lawyer access to his clients.

Family members and the lawyer repeatedly demanded an explanation, and finally the local authorities admitted that they had received orders from the Qingdao City 610 Office to refuse access to the lawyer's clients, Sun Hong and Min Huirong. The 610 Office ordered the local prosecutor to pressure the lawyer to withdraw from the case. Some people believe the 610 Office is blocking the lawyer's visit to hide its plot to convict the practitioners under false charges. They dare not let any lawyer get involved.

At Mr. Ou Yunjie's first court session, Mr. Ou Zhaolin acted on behalf of his son to plead not guilty. The illegal trial was exposed on the Minghui website. The second court session was subsequently delayed. The publication of Teacher's article "Eliminating the Evil" is thought to have affected the decision to postpone the "trial," as well.

Meanwhile, Mr. Cui Luning had his first court session on Tuesday, February 21, 2006.
The 610 Office continues to manipulate local police and judiciary behind the scenes to carry out its plans to persecute Falun Gong.
