On April 27th, 2010, Hebei District Court in Tianjin held a trial for Ms. Jia Wenguang. Ms. Jia lives in Hebei District, where she was a high school physics teacher. She used to have a heart condition, but fully recovered after practising Falun Gong.
On January 14th, 2010, Ms. Jia was telling people about the persecution of Falun Gong on Jingjiang Bridge when a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agent and officers from the Dajiang Police Station arrested her. They detained her in the Hebei District Detention Centre.
During the trial, the prosecutor, Meng Xiangmei, presented two witnesses who accused Ms. Jia of forcing them to accept Falun Gong fliers and pamphlets.
Ms. Jia explained that knowing the facts about Falun Gong and about how to be a good person is beneficial to people and society as a whole. She further explained that she has never forced materials on anyone. On the day she was arrested, she was only talking to the undercover agent when she was forced into a police car.
When Ms. Jia's lawyer requested that the agent appear in court for questioning, the court called a recess. During the recess, an unidentified person began openly videotaping and searching the observers sitting in the gallery. After the trial resumed, prosecutor Meng became belligerent and resorted to making personal attacks on the defence lawyer.
Ms. Jia testified in court about why she persisted in practising Falun Gong and how she had benefited from the practice. In the end, she said to everyone in the court, "You are not my enemies. I hope you remember that Falun Gong is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Everyone should allow himself a chance to be a good person and have a bright future."
The trial ended hastily and the verdict is to be decided on a future date. Ms. Jia was taken back to the detention centre.
