Ms. Tang Wenyan from Dongguang City, Guangdong Province is facing trial after being detained for over four months.
Ms. Tang Wenyan, 41 years old, taught history at Guangdong Xinhui Middle School. She worked hard and was well liked by her colleagues and students. She started practising Falun Gong in 1999. After the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, Chinese Communist Party members tried to force her to give up practising Falun Gong, but to no avail. As a result, she was fired from her job.
In 2003, Shenzhen police arrested her and sent her to the Guangdong Women's Forced Labour Camp. She was tortured there for two years.
After she was released from the forced labour camp, Ms. Tang taught history at private schools in Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and other areas. In 2009, she taught at Yantian Century School in Dongguang City.
On October 25th, 2009, she was arrested by officers from Yantian Police Station because she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong. She was then sent to the Dongguang First Detention Centre. Since being detained, her family members haven't been allowed to visit.
On February 22nd, 2010, the Dongguang Intermediate Court told Ms. Tang's family to get a lawyer for her because her case would be heard at 10:00 a.m. on March 3rd, 2010.
