(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners Mr. Liu Wenyuan and Ms. Zhou Lan, from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, have recently been illegally sentenced by a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) court.
Mr. Liu Wenyuan is an employee for the transportation department of the Taiyuan City Steel Company. He was arrested on October 14, 2008, and his home was ransacked by officers Zheng Bingfeng and Xu Yonghong, from the Shanglan Village Police Station in Jiancaoping District. He was detained at the Chai Village Detention Center in Jiancaoping District. His family was not allowed to visit him, and even though they asked for Mr. Liu's release numerous times, the guards and police officers intentionally shifted the responsibility back and forth.
On January 12, 2009, the Jiancaoping District CCP court held a trial for Mr. Liu Wenyuan. His family was not notified, and Mr. Liu had no legal representation.
Mr. Liu is still being held at the Chai Village Detention Center. Other practitioners, including Ms. Zhao Hongbo, are also imprisoned at the same detention center. It was reported that each cell at the detention center holds at least three practitioners and some have been there one or two years.
Mr. Liu's wife does not have a job. She has to take care their son who still goes to school, as well as her elderly parents. Mr. Liu provides the family's only source of income. The family is now in a very difficult situation.
Practitioner Ms. Zhou Lan is around forty years old. On July 25, 2008, she was arrested by officers from the vice squad of the Taiyuan City Police Department while she was distributing truth-clarifying materials. The officers included Wang Lin'gui and Shang Junwu. On August 6, 2008, the Taiyuan City CCP Procuratorate approved the arrest of Ms. Zhou. The officers involved included Wang Linsuo and Wan Yong.
On October 9, 2008, the Taiyuan City CCP court held a trial for Ms. Zhou Lan at the Yingze District Police Department. Ms. Zhou told the judge that she became healthy after practicing Falun Dafa, so she wanted to tell others that Falun Dafa is great. Ms. Zhou is still being detained at the Taiyuan City Detention Center.
