Ms. Ma Fengyi and Ms. Tang Shude, Both Older, Given Long Sentences in Daan City, Jilin Province Court

(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party-controlled court in Daan City held a secret trial to sentence Ms. Ma Fengyi and Ms. Tang Shude, both Falun Gong practitioners, to five year terms around March 8, 2008. Ms. Tang was carried out of the court after the sentence. Ms. Ma was in poor health.

Ms. Ma and Ms. Tang were arrested on January 2, 2008, by Director Ma Li, policeman Han Fan, and others from Anguang Town Police Station. The two women were "illegally imprisoned" in the Daan Detention Center.

Liu Yongbo, head of the Daan 610 Office, along with Chen Yamin and others, fabricated the charges and reported the two to the authorities to be arrested. Ms. Ma's family had 20,000 yuan extorted from them, 10,000 of which went to Liu Yongbo alone. The remainder was split among the other perpetrators. Liu Yongbo forced the practitioners' families to pay another 10,000 yuan just before the trial.

Older Ms. Tang was destitute and homeless due to the persecution. She arrived at Anguang but was illegally arrested and tortured until she could no longer walk. Nonetheless she was sentenced to five years.
