Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wang Bo and Family Refuse to Accept Illegal Sentence - Appeal Stalled
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Bo was illegally
charged with "using x cult to sabotage the administration of law" and
sentenced to five years in prison on February 2, 2007. Her father Wang Xinzhong
and mother Liu Shuqin were sentenced to four years in prison with the same
charge. Wang Bo and her parents refused to accept the illegal verdict. They
appealed with the Shijiazhuang Intermediate Court before February 10, 2007, yet
they are still waiting for the court to file the case. Kind-hearted people are asked to please pay attention to this issue and be
wary of the wicked Communist regime playing tricks in the dark to escalate the
persecution. According to law, the court usually takes one month or at most one-and-a half
months to reach a verdict. Wang Bo and her family's case was tried in the
Changan District Court on November 10, 2006. The verdict was not issued until
February 2, 2007, nearly three months later. Wang Xinzhong's lawyer went to the Changan District Court on February 7,
2007, and asked the judge for the verdict according to legal procedures. He also
requested access to the case files. Preliminary Court judge Yue Yunzhi admitted
that the verdict was delivered to the Wang Bo's family on February 2, 2007. He
also admitted that the family's statement of appeal had been delivered to the
intermediate court, but their case files were not yet transferred. The allotted
period for an appeal is within ten days from the receipt of a verdict. The judge
refused to give Wang Xinzhong's lawyer a copy of the verdict and also refused to
let the lawyer read the case files. The lawyer cited the law, and the first
court head Wang Xu couldn't refute him. Wang Xu threatened to report the case
files to the Court Audit Committee, obstructing the lawyer to learn the
situation of the case. As early as before the trial commenced, court head Wang
Xu, who sat in the audience, announced the court regulations to ask everyone to
turn off their mobile phones, while he answered calls on his mobile phone inside
the courtroom. Wang Xu sometimes ran up to the judge during the trial and
whispered into his ears, and sometimes talked to the public prosecutor. He also
signaled the court police with his eyes and yelled at Wang Bo and her family. Wang Bo's relatives went to the Shijiazhuang Intermediate Court on February
12, 2007, and inquired if the appeal was received. They saw judge Sun from the
Secondary Trial Court and said they haven't received it. He said they would have
to deal with it after the Chinese New Year as it was close to the holidays. Sun
also assured the family that the Changan District Court would never dare to
withhold their appeal, otherwise it would be held legally responsible. The relatives went back to the intermediate court on February 27, 2007, the
third day after court officials returned to work. They again inquired whether
the appeal has been received and again met with judge Sun. He claimed the
Changan District Court had reported the appeal before the Chinese New Year, but
since it was getting close to the holidays, the intermediate court didn't accept
the case and returned it. The relatives explained that they were concerned about
Wang Bo and her family's mental attitude after being wrongly sentenced to
prison. Judge Sun said he understood the issue. He said, "This is the
current policy [on handling Falun Gong]. There is nothing we can do." The
relatives said, "Then you know that Wang Bo and her family's sentencing was
based on 'policies' and not the law. They are completely innocent." Upon
hearing these words, several judges inside the office were startled and said
together, "Don't say that! It won't help you and it won't help us!"
Obviously, the judges were under great pressure from high above. It is said that the court had issued the verdict because the Communist regime
deems Wang Bo and her family's case might have great impact. That is why before
the verdict was issued by Changan District Court, Changan District Court
officials had first reported to officials at the Shijiazhuang City Intermediate
Court, who in turn reported to authorities at the Hebei Province High Court to
get approval.
