Mr. Yu Kaixin and His Wife, Ms. Tan Shunbi, Face Sentencing

On November 18th, 2009, Mr. Yu Kaixin and his wife, Ms. Tan Shunbi, were arrested by the Jinsha Police Station while distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong. They are being detained in the Pi County Detention Centre. Police officers threaten that they will be sent to prison. Their family now feels great pressure to pay the bribes the officials demand.

Mr. Yu Kaixin is a retired teacher in his 60s. He used to have many diseases, but since he began practising Falun Gong, all have disappeared, and he has become significantly stronger. He and his wife have been arrested many times and even brutally beaten because they refuse to give up their beliefs.

In 2000, they were arrested by public security officials while they were distributing Falun Gong leaflets. Mr. Yu Kaixin was detained for ten days.

In November, 2008, Mr. Yu Kaixin and his wife, Tan Shunbi, were reported by public security officials and arrested by the Caitang Police Station while they were telling people about Falun Gong. Mr. Yu Kaixin shouted loudly "Falun Gong is good." Police officers responded with tear gas, leaving his face swollen and distorted. Police forced him to the ground, took him to a police station and brutally beat him. They pressed a steel bar against the wife's mouth until it bleed. Even now, part of her mouth is still not healed. Later, they both were taken to a detention centre and detained for nearly one month. They were transferred to the Xinjin Brainwashing Centre for more than 20 days while police extorted money from their family for their release.

In September, 2009, Mr. Yu Kaixin was beaten by police officers when he was informing people about the true nature of Falun Gong. The police officers covered his eyes and dragged him on the ground for a long distance until his pants were tattered. Later he was detained in the Jiulidi Police Station for ten days.
