Falun Gong Practitioners Ms. Xing Yue and Ms. Li Yanping from Tangshan City Transferred to Shijiazhuang Women’s Prison

Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Xing Yue and Ms. Li Yanping from Leting County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province were secretly transferred to the Shijiazhuang Women’s Prison at 4:00 a.m. on March 14th, 2011.

Ms. Xing Yue, 28, lived in the Hongguang Building on Jinrong Street in Leting County, in Tangshan. She previously taught Chinese at an elementary school that is affiliated with the Aixincheng Private School, and later opened a training centre on her own to teach writing. She is kind, gentle, and talented, and she is well-liked by people who know her.

Ms. Xing and Ms. Li Yanping were driving around Jianggezhuang Town to tell people the truth about Falun Gong on April 2nd, 2010, when agents from the Jianggezhuang Police Station arrested them around noon. After ransacking their homes, the police sent them to the Leting County Detention Centre.

Ms. Xing’s father had passed away. Her mother, nearly 70 years old, had to take care of Ms. Xing’s child and appeal to the police department and the detention center to release Ms. Xing. The Chinese Communist regime's severe persecution of her daughter took a heavy physical and mental toll on the elderly woman, and she passed away in grief between October and November, 2010.

Leting County Court officials covertly put Ms. Xing and Ms. Li on trial on August 25th, 2010. It has been learned that Ms. Xing was given a three-year prison sentence and Ms. Li was subjected to four years of imprisonment.

Ms. Xing's uncle, aunt, and other relatives went to the detention centre to visit Ms. Xing on February 21st, 2011, but they were forbidden from seeing her. Her aunt and uncle, along with another relative, went to the Leting County 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) on the morning of February 22nd, 2011, to meet with 610 Office head Wang Jizhong, intending to obtain permission to visit Ms. Xing. At around 10:00 a.m., a group of police officers arrived and took away Ms. Xing's uncle and the other relative and illegally detained them for 15 days.

Ms. Xing and Ms. Li were secretly transferred to the Shijiazhuang Women’s Prison at 4:00 a.m. on March 14th. When Ms. Li’s mother discovered this, the two practitioners were already detained in the prison.
