(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Tang Wenyan from Dongguang City, Guangdong Province is facing trial after being detained for over four months.
Ms. Tang Wenyan, 41 years old, taught history at Guangdong Xinhui Middle School. She worked hard and was well liked by her colleagues and students. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1999. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Chinese Communist Party members tried to force her to give up practicing Falun Gong, but to no avail. As a result, she was fired from her job.
In 2003, Shenzhen police arrested her and sent her to the Guangdong Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was tortured there for two years.
After she was released from the forced labor camp, Ms. Tang taught history at private schools in Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and other areas. In 2009, she taught at Yantian Century School in Dongguang City.
On October 25, 2009, she was arrested by officers from Yantian Police Station because she was distributing truth-clarification materials and telling people the facts about Falun Gong. She was then sent to the Dongguang First Detention Center. Since being detained, her family members haven't been allowed to visit.
On February 22, 2010, the Dongguang Intermediate Court told Ms. Tang's family to get a lawyer for her because her case would be heard at 10:00 a.m. on March 3, 2010.
