1. [Dehui City, Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ma Chunli's Life is in Peril

The Dehui City Court sentenced Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ma Chunli to six years of imprisonment. Though hospitals and prisons would not accept Ma due to her critical condition, the court still issued a "Notice of Prohibiting Medical Parole." Thus, every administration office shirks their responsibilities and defers to others by using the notice as an excuse. Ma's medical bail has still not been approved. Ma was tortured to the point of becoming extremely emaciated. She depends on life-sustaining intravenous feeding.

2. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Sun Liwen and Tian Yunhai Secretly Sentenced - Belated News -

In July 2005, Falun Gong practitioners Sun Liwen and Tian Yunhai were arrested in Dalian City and secretly sentenced in that city's Ganjingzi Court; even their relatives were not informed. The verdict was announced recently. Tian's father went from his hometown in Jilin City to Dalian City to visit his son three times; however, all his requests for visitation rights were rejected.

Practitioner Ms. Zang Yumei was sentenced on the same day, but detailed information about her is unavailable.

Wang Lijuan, another person in charge of the case, responsible to inform the family of the trial: 86-411-86568836

3. [Shandong Province] He Xiuling Tortured to Death; Husband Needs Legal Support - Belated News -

Almost two years ago, personnel from the Yantan City "610 Office " and police and from the Zifu Detention Center in Shandong Province tortured practitioner Ms. He Xiuling to death. Her husband, Mr. Xu Chengben, has appealed, beginning at the local procuratorate, all the way to the Highest Procuratorate, to expose those people and organizations who committed the crime. However, the injustice has not yet been exonerated.

There was an agreement for relatives to view her body at any time during cryogenic storage that the police department and detention center officials must not prohibit such a visit. However, when Xu Chengben and other relatives went to see her body on February 9, 2006, the police and "610 Office" personnel went against the agreement and denied their right to view the body.

Xu Chengben is going to take legal action because abusers from the "610 Office" and the detention center not only tortured his wife to death, but also violated the agreement and prevented him from viewing his wife's body. Therefore, we call out to righteous organizations and people who are good at legal issues: please provide relevant legal aid! Contact phone number: 86-535-6820546
