He refused to admit to that Mr. Yang was tortured, and covered up the fact that Mr. Yang was ill and that his family was not allowed to visit him for over one year. Yue Yuhai forced inmates Fan Jiangshan and others who had monitored Mr. Yang to lie to the lawyer, telling him that Mr. Yang had been very well treated in prison. -

2008-03-30Sixty-eight-year-old Falun Gong practitioners Liu Bilian and Cai Fengjiao are residents of Yueyang City, Hunan Province. In March 2004, they were both arrested and detained in the Huarong Detention Centre for four months. They were both sentenced to Changsha City Women's Prison. For three years--more than one thousand days and nights--Ms. Liu was imprisoned just because she told people the facts about Falun Gong. Upon her release, she was 71 years old.
