Qufu District Court Tries Mr. Zhao Genfa
2010-01-20On December 29th, 2009, the trial of Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhao Genfa took place in the First Criminal Court of Jining City in the Zhong District Court, Shandong Province. In the preceding days, Qufu Court officials changed the trial venue several times. This was not a case of an official need for a trial in a "different location." Qufu Court officials simply arranged to "borrow" a small courtroom that could only accommodate 20 to 30 people from the First Criminal Court of the Zhong District Court. These changes and postponements by Qufu Court officials suggest that they were trying to hide something, because this was the first time a Falun Gong practitioner had ever been tried in Qufu. It wasn't clear what kind of charges were to be filed against Mr. Zhao. -
