Two Courts in Jilin Province Hastily Hold Large-scale "Trials" of Illegally Arrested Falun Gong Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) On July 10, 2007, the Chuanying District Court in
Jilin City, Jilin Province, found many Falun Dafa practitioners who had been
illegally arrested guilty of the false charges that had been brought
against them. Among those sentenced were Zhao Yingjie, Liu Yuhe, Wang Liqiu,
Zhao Guoxing, and Mou Chunhong. On the same day, the Changyi Court in Jilin City
illegally sentenced many Dafa disciples including Guo Yunqing, and one with the
surname of Fu, who had been persecuted and had to sit in a wheelchair to
participate in the trial. It is the first time in Jilin Province that two courts put Dafa disciples on
trial at the same time. The authorities violated standard legal procedures and
only allowed attendance by one person from each family of those on
"trial." Wang Liqiu's 75-year-old parents were refused entrance as
they only allowed one family member to enter. The old couple had not seen their
daughter, who used to take care of them day and night, for six months. The only
opportunity they had to see their daughter was denied. They could only stand in
front of the court building. There were more than ten vehicles outside the court building. There were also
many plainclothes police, both in and outside the court. It was like they were
preparing to be confronted by a strong enemy force. At about ten o'clock, a man, about 50 years old, came out of the court
wearing a blue shirt and white trousers. He talked secretly with five or six
plainclothes policemen, two of whom were in gray uniforms. The man pointed to a
nearby residential building, and put both of his hands together, meaning they
were about to go and arrest someone. So, the policemen walked to the building
across from the court and abducted three Dafa disciples. One of them was about
1.5 m. (4 ft. 11 in.) tall and wore a green shirt. Another one, about 40 years
old, wore a colorful shirt, was a little overweight, and about 1.6 m. (5 ft. 3
in.) tall. Another one wore a light colored shirt and stood about 1.5 m tall. A
police car left the courthouse and went over to the building so the arrested
practitioners could be put into it. It quickly drove off, and not long after,
returned without the practitioners in it. No one knows where the practitioners
were taken. A lady in her fifties was digging vegetables nearby and was interrogated for
a long time by five or six plain-clothes policemen. The illegal trial ended at 10:30 a.m. The police cars were loaded, followed
by two big minivans, two small minivans, an old green van, and a sedan. With
sirens on, they all quickly drove off. |
