Police arrested Ms. Fan Defang, a 74-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Chongqing City, and practitioner Ms. Yuan Suxian on January 28th, 2005. Ms. Yuan Suxian was tortured to death, and Ms. Fan Defang was illegally prosecuted.
On January 28th, 2005, Ms. Fan Defang and Ms. Yuan went to visit a relative. On their way, they picked up several Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution off the ground and gave them to passers-by. Agents from the Tiaodengchang Police Station arrested them and ransacked their homes. The police didn't find any leaflets at Ms. Fan's home. The two practitioners were sent to the Daduokou District Detention Centre.
Ms. Fan was bedridden the entire time she remained in the detention centre. On July 30th, 2005, jailers in the detention centre tortured Ms. Yuan Suxian to death. To hush up the crime, staff from the detention centre gave her family a little over 5,000 yuan1 as compensation for her death. At the same time, they were worried that Ms. Fan would die in the detention centre, so they told her family to take her home with the caveat that she would be tried later.
After the evildoers tortured Ms. Yuan Suxian to death, they delivered a court notice to Ms. Fan Defang on February 8th, 2006. The court notice, dated January 20th, 2006, stated that the prosecutor would be Wang Wenge and that Ms. Fan Defang would be tried around February 18th. Absurdly enough, the notice specified that Ms. Yuan Suxian, who had already been tortured to death, was the witness who initially brought an accusation against Ms. Fan Defang. The notice also stated that [the already deceased] Ms. Yuan Suxian's case would be tried later, as an independent case.
We appeal to all kind-hearted people to pay attention to this absurd prosecution and condemn it. Let us bring an end to the persecution of Fan Defang.
