Mr. Fan Chengfang and Five Other Practitioners in Xishui County, Hubei Province Illegally Sentenced
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently several Falun Gong practitioners in Xishui County, Hubei Province,
were illegally sentenced by the Procuratorate and Court. Mr. Fan Chengfang, 66 years old, is a retiree who lived at 157 Liwenbei Road,
Qingquan Town, Xishui County. He was sentenced to three years of imprisonment
and three more years of a suspended sentence. Mr. Yang Yunhua, born on June 17, 1951, was a former manager in the Shiyue
Hotel in Qingquan Town, Xishui County. He lived in Division Two in Shiyue
Village, Qingquan Town, Xishui County. He was sentenced to nine years of
imprisonment. Mr. Li Zhengwen, born on February 18, 1957, lived in Unit 62, Weibeishan,
Qingquan Town, Xishui County, Hubei Province. He was laid off and sentenced to
seven years of imprisonment. Mr. Guo Chunliu, born on March 8, 1946, lived on Qiaobei Street, Guankou
Town, Xishui County. He was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment. Mr. Zhang Yuejing, born on September 29, 1946, lived on 39 Xinhuazheng
Street, Qingquan Town, Xishui County. He was sentenced to five years of
imprisonment. These four Falun Gong practitioners were transferred to Wuhan City
on November 23, 2007. Zhang Yuejin's wife, Mrs. Zhou Qi, is also retired. She was sentenced to five
years of imprisonment and was transferred to Wuhan City on November 24, 2007.
Mrs. Qi was born on July 23, 1956, but the court documents falsely indicate
April 27, 1963. This gives a glimpse of the ways the authorities fabricate
things and abuse the law to sentence practitioners more harshly. It is not clear where these Falun Gong practitioners were detained. They all
appealed to the Intermediate Court of Huanggang City, Hubei Province, between
October 9, 2007, and November 1, 2007. All of their appeals were rejected
without explanation. The defense lawyers understood the facts of the
persecution, but there was not much they could do under the intense pressure of
the communist regime. On October 25, 2007, Presiding Judge Xiong Huabing, Judges Yang Zongdian and
Xiong Chenxia, and Secretary Cheng Yan signed the criminal sentencing documents
in the Court of Xishui County, Hubei Province. On November 14, Presiding Judge Wang Xujin, Judges Zhang Li and Li Gang, and
Secretary Zhang Qing signed the criminal sentencing documents in the
Intermediate Court of Huanggang City, Hubei Province. November 27, 2007. |
