On December 23rd, 2008, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) county court conducted an unjust trial of Guo Daoyou, a Falun Gong practitioner in Funing County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.

2009-01-08On December 22nd, 2008, the Huanggu District Court in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province tried Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Zhao Zhanbo and Mr. Chen Xinye.

The court lied to the relatives of other accused defendants by saying that too many Falun Gong practitioners had showed up and taken up all of the space, so they only allowed one member of the accused's family to attend. This deception caused people to be resentful of Falun Gong practitioners. This is an example of how the authorities incite public hatred toward Falun Gong. -
