Four Practitioners From Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Are Secretly and Sentenced

On July 11th, 2007, the Sixth Court of the Middle Courthouse of Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region opened a hearing for the case of practitioners Mr. Zhao Yuhu, Mr. Cai Guojun, Ms. Zhang Xiaoping, and Ms. Jiang Hongying. The court still upheld the original secret and unjust sentence. Practitioner Ms. Mu Zhihong from Shizuishan City was also brought to trial for the second time.

These five practitioners were sentenced as follows: Zhao Yuhu, 7 years; Cai Guojun, 5 years; Zhang Xiaoping, 5½ years; Jiang Hongying, 4 years; and Mu Zhihong, 3 years. Recently we learned that Zhang Xiaoping, Jiang Hongying, and Mu Zhihong are detained in Yinchuan Women's Prison, and Zhao Yuhu and Cai Guojun are detained in Shizuishan Prison (previously Pingluo Prison).

On the evening of May 29th, 2006, under the command of the 610 Office¹ and the Public Security Bureau of Ningxia Autonomous Region, agents from the Yinchuan City 610 Office, along with public security officers, used various plots to follow and monitor practitioners Zhao Yuhu, Cai Guojun, Zhang Xiaoping, and Jiang Hongying from Yinchuan City and Mu Zhihong from Zhizuishan City. The practitioners are detained in the Yinchuan City Detention Centre and being subjected to brutal torture.

On May 29th, 2007, under great pressure from the Autonomous Region's governing body and the 610 Office, the court in Xixia District, Yinchuan City was forced to open a hearing on the four practitioners. The court secretly pronounced its judgement on all four of them. The four practitioners appealed the sentence. On July 11th, 2007, Yinchuan City Middle Court again secretly pronounced heavy sentence on the four practitioners.
