Over 300 Villagers Petition for Release of Liu Yujing

Ms. Liu Yujing is a farmer and Falun Gong practitioner from Shizhong District, Jinan City, Shandong Province. She was arrested in her home by Shizhong District police on November 16th, 2010, and detained for a long period of time. She was put on trial by Shizhong District Court on May 6th. The court personnel and local 610 Office agents (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) prevented Ms. Liu's husband and daughter from entering the courtroom.

On May 31st, Ms. Liu's oldest daughter, Tian Guangqing, and a friend arrived at Shizhong District Procuratorate in Jinan City to report the illegal acts of the Shizhong District police— Ms. Liu's arrest, detention and the ransacking of her home during the arrest. They also reported that the Shizhong District Court had put Ms. Liu on trial on May 6th, and had not allowed the family to enter the courtroom.

Zhang Jisheng, the chief of the Appeals Office of the Procuratorate, received them. As soon as Zhang realised that their reports were related to a Falun Gong practitioner's case, he said, “We do not accept Falun Gong cases. We have an internal document that mandates that we do not accept any Falun Gong matter.”

Therefore, Zhang refused to accept the letter of accusation, and told them to deal directly with the Public Security Bureau and the courts. Tian requested Zhang show the “internal document,” but he refused. When Tian and her friend insisted that Zhang accept their report in accordance with the law, he became angry and threatened them. Tian and her friend left their letters of accusation and relevant evidence, and left the Appeals Office.

The evidence left by Tian Guangqing included a petition signed by over 300 villagers of Xinglong Village, where Ms. Liu's family lives, vouching that Ms. Liu is a good person.

The petition stated: “It is known to all that Ms. Liu is a good person and that she has been detained for a long time only because she practises Falun Gong and believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Gong teaches people to be good, and Falun Gong practitioners are good people.” The villagers had signed the petition in hopes that Ms. Liu would be released.
