Two Falun Dafa PractitionersUnjustly Sentenced to Prison in Laiwu City

Practitioners Mr. Wang Zideng and Mr. Pang Jihai were represented by a defence counsel in Laichen District Court, Laiwu City on February 1st 2005. The defence counsel argued that according to the law, Wang Zideng should be released. However the amoral court determined on June 5th 2005, that Mr. Wang be sentenced to 7 years in prison and Pang Jihai to 6 years in prison for following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to improve themselves. The court verdicts were controlled by the Laiwu City 610 Office¹and the Political Judicial Committee.

On August 5th 2005, Mr. Wang Zideng was arrested on his way to pick up his son from school. Mr. Pang was arrested when visiting a neighbour on August 8th 2005. The two were detained at the Laiwu City Police Department Detention Centre. The written judgements were sent to each of them on September 28th 2005. Their family members are devastated by the verdicts.

We urge all kind-hearted people to help stop this inhuman persecution. We thank all who have offered help to practitioners.
