Mr. Liu Deyu from Jingmen City, Hubei Province Sentenced to Four Years of Imprisonment

On February 3rd, Mr. Liu Deyu was sentenced to four years of imprisonment at Dongbao District Court, Jingmen City, Hubei Province. Not until the next day was his wife notified by the court. In addition, she was only given until February 8th to appeal. Such a brazen violation of the law could only be for the purpose of stopping her from appealing to a higher court.

Mr. Liu Deyu, 53-year-old a Falun Gong practitioner, is employed with Jingmen City Anti-epidemic Station. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, Mr. Liu was sentenced to three years in a forced labour camp. He was forced to undergo brainwashing and subjected to all kinds of humiliation and torture. At 10 a.m. on June 23rd, 2009, when Mr. Liu was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people in his community the facts about Falun Gong he was beaten and wounded by police officers. He was forced to leave home and went to Zhijiang City in Hubei Province, where he sold socks to make a living. Later, he was arrested and taken back by police officers and detained at Huyaguan Detention Centre in Jingmen City, Hubei Province.

Mr. Liu was arrested again on September 7th, 2009, after an arrest warrant was issued on July 17th. The person who signed the warrant was Ji Zhenjun, head of Dongbao Domestic Security Brigade, who was mainly responsible for torturing Jingmen practitioner Mr. Chen Qiji to death. Another person involved in the persecution was Chen Yue, who is the political instructor of Jingmen City Domestic Security Brigade and has actively participated in persecuting Jingmen practitioners.
