Mr. Yu Xiaoru and Mr. Feng Chuanjia, Both Over 70, Were Sentenced and Have Been Missing for Two Years

Two 70-year-old practitioners, Mr. Yu Xiaoru and Mr. Feng Chuanjia, were sentenced with heavy punishment and have been missing for two years.

Yu Xiaoru was a member of the Political Affairs Committee in Fengjie County, Sichuan Province. He was also the person in charge of the Fengjie County Assistance Centre. Mr. Yu went to Taiwan three times between April 1999 and April 2002, to visit his relatives. During his visits to Taiwan, he participated in local Falun Dafa activities and brought back some Falun Dafa leaflets exposing the persecution. After he returned to China, he was arrested and sentenced to eleven years.

Feng Chuanjia went to Beijing in 2000. He held up a banner proclaiming, "Falun Dafa is Good" in Tiananmen Square. He was arrested and sentenced to forced labour for one year. After he was released in September 2001, Mr. Feng wrote some articles to expose how prison guards brutally persecute Falun Gong practitioners in prisons. He entrusted Mr. Yu to send the articles to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. Mr. Feng was arrested in October 2002. He was sentenced to ten years.

The local media, including TV stations, broadsheet newspapers, and tabloid newspapers, have produced numerous slanderous articles concerning Mr. Yu and Mr. Feng. In January 2003, they even sent their slanderous materials to the state-run TV, CCTV, for broadcast. The Wanzhou City TV Station re-broadcast the programme several times the next day.

The two practitioners were transferred to Danzishi Prison in Chongqing City in either 2003 or May 2004. Since then, nothing has been heard from either of them. They are both over 70 years old.

The police also confiscated the belongings of several dozen people. They arrested and sentenced them while trying to arrest Mr. Yu and Mr. Feng. It was said that the Central Committee ordered the Wanzhou District Police Station of Chongqing City to send out over twenty police officers to carry out the arrests. Practitioners in Wanzhou District were also harmed.
