• Songyuan City Intermediate Court Sentences Innocent People

  2009-05-11

The court also issued heavy sentences of 8 to 12 years in prison to six practitioners. The practitioners appealed to the Songyuan City Intermediate Court. The relatives of the six practitioners hired more than ten defence lawyers. But the court did not notify the lawyers of the second trial date; only two lawyers made it to Songyuan overnight. During the trial, practitioner Shao Changpu told the judge that the police force-fed him four bottles of mustard oil, and he wanted to charge the police for what they did. However, the judge upheld the previous sentences and wrapped up the trial hastily.

• Exposing the Evil in the No.2 Women's Forced Labour Camp of Shandong Province

  2009-05-09
  I was sent to the No.2 Women's Forced Labour Camp of Shandong Province twice and was persecuted there. I have witnessed and personally experienced how the policemen "transform" and torture Falun Gong practitioners. The labour camp is full of lies, cheating and evil. They first separate Falun Gong practitioners, prevent them from contacting anybody, and send two former practitioners to monitor them, whose purpose it is to attempt to force practitioners to renounce Falun Gong. If the practitioners refuse to be "transformed," they prevent them from sleeping, and make them stand facing the wall for physical punishment. I was tortured in that manner, was not allowed to sit for 24 hours a day.

• The Defendant? The Plaintiff!

  2009-05-08
  Currently, under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule, many ridiculous events have occurred, especially in dealing with the persecution of Falun Gong over the last ten years. Under pressure from the CCP, the judicial and public security agencies have turned into pawns and accomplices for the persecution of practitioners. On March 25th, 2009, the lawyer defending practitioners Mr. He Yixing and Ms. Zhang Yueqin, husband and wife, filed a complaint against a branch of the Lubei Public Security Bureau in Tangshan City. The lawyer used legal arguments to point out the illegal actions of the judge in charge of Mr. He's second trial. These actions serve as a warning to those who have abandoned morality in the legal profession and turned the defendant into the plaintiff.
