Practitioner Ms. Zhu Chengying from Sichuan Province Has Been Unjustly Sentenced to Ten Years

On August 26th 2005, the Jinjiang District Police Station in Chengdu City, the Jinjiang District Procuratorate¹, the Jinjiang District Court, and the State Security Brigade from the Leshan City Police Station arrested Ms. Zhu Chengying, who lives in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, from her home. On September 15th she was sentenced to ten years in prison without a fair trial and is now being held at the Chengdu City Detention Centre.

Practitioner Ms. Zhu Chengying, 54, is from the Shizhong District of Leshan City. She is a retired worker from the Leshan City Paper Manufacturer. Ms. Zhu has steadfastly practised Falun Dafa and told the facts of Falun Dafa to the authorities and to others who had been misled by the government propaganda since July 1999, when Jiang Zemin's regime and the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Dafa.

On August 3rd 2001, the police from the Tongjiang local police station arrested Ms. Zhu from her home. The police hung her up from a window and didn't allow her to go to the toilet. In the evening, Ms. Zhu walked out of the Tongjiang Police Station and chose to live by moving from place to place to avoid arrest.

In April 2002, Ms. Zhu and three other practitioners at a Dafa materials site in Chengdu City were arrested by the police from the Jinjiang District Police Station. She persisted in not giving her real name, and later was sentenced to three years of reeducation through forced labour. The other three practitioners were all sentenced to ten years. After being imprisoned for a year and eight months at the Chengdu City Detention Centre, she was taken to the Zizhong Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp twice. Both times she was refused admittance to the labour camp due to her high blood pressure and heart disease. The detention centre then took her to a hospital and asked the hospital's doctors to find out her real name, which they did. So the police from Leshan City took Ms. Zhu back to Leshan City and imprisoned her there until February 2004. During her imprisonment, Ms. Zhu went on a hunger strike for 11 days to protest the persecution. Eventually she was released on bail, but the Leshan City Court had meanwhile turned Ms. Zhu's case over to the Jinjiang District Court.

After returning home, Ms. Zhu and other practitioners persisted in telling the facts about Falun Dafa to the relevant authorities and others. The authorities of the Jinjiang District in Chengdu City and Leshan City attempted to take her away from her home several times but didn't succeed due to resistance from people who knew the truth.
