Report on the Unjust Trial of Mr. Ye Zhenghui and Mr. Mao Dexing Held at Mishan Court in Heilongjiang Province

On January 12th, 2007, Mishan City Court in Heilongjiang Province held an unjust trial of two Falun Dafa practitioners, Mr. Ye Zhenghui and Mao Dexing from Hulin City. The initial plan was to hold a public trial on the fourth floor of the court; however, when the related personnel discovered the presence of many strangers they held a secret trial instead. In addition, the trial location was moved to the first floor (basement).

Around 9:00 a.m. one of two bailiffs pushed the two handcuffed practitioners into the basement separately. The presiding judge was the judge of the criminal court, Zhao Yuechao. The judge was Zhang Ying, and the juror was Jin Qiang.

In the middle of the first row sat five heads of the 610 Office¹ and court officials. The family members sitting in the second and third rows numbered 13. The two bailiffs had closely paid attention to every detail of the families sitting in the public gallery.

When the judge asked Mr. Ye Zhenghui if the public prosecutor’s statement was true, Mr. Ye replied that Jixi City National Protection Team agents had extorted a confession from him via torture. They had deprived him of sleep for seven days. They had otherwise abused and beaten him by putting an electric baton into his mouth and shocking him, and shocking his genital areas and other sensitive areas with electric batons. In addition, they pinched his acupuncture points and blade bone and his wrists were bleeding from being handcuffed. They used torture to force him to confess to whatever was dictated to him. When Mr. Ye Zhenghui was asked if he was injured he replied, "Yes." And then he showed everyone the injured areas.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel asked, "Do you know that the Chinese regime has forbidden Falun Gong?" Mr. Ye Zhenghui replied, "Falun Gong is righteous. It benefits people’s bodies, and I am innocent." The presiding judge interrupted him crudely and asked why he insisted on practising. Mr. Ye replied that he just wanted to be healthy and fit, and to be a good person. His words were interrupted again.

The presiding judge had been breaking the law during his executing the law, and he declared that Mr. Ye Zhenghui was guilty. The counsel for the defence said that according to the law, there is insufficient evidence and that Mr. Ye should be declared innocent and released. The judge kept silent. Just a moment later the judge declared that after court deliberations they would announce an additional trial date.

Many pieces of surveillance equipment had been installed in high places in and around the building. Nevertheless, a lot of people came to audit the trial. When the "610 Office" head Yu Xiaofeng saw several familiar faces he immediately called Gao Pengfei and Li Gang to drive these people out of the court.
