(Clearwisdom.net) Wang Yu, former deputy secretary of the People's Congress of Hubei Province and former president of the Chinese Communist Party Organization of Hubei, received a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party from a friend in 2005. In 2006, when his friend mentioned to him about quitting the CCP, he said, "It is OK to quit. But I can't do it openly--the repercussions would be too great." His friend helped him quit the CCP with an alias.
Wang Yu died on April 25, 2008, at the age of 90. Not long after, his daughter, Ms. Wang Sanying, was taken from her home because she was practicing Falun Gong. On the afternoon of June 3, 2008, Ms. Wang Sanying was called home from her job by a local police officer, saying that they were conducting a population census. Police Officer Zhai Zhongqi went into Ms. Wang Sanying's bedroom to search it, but she told him to leave. Zhai Zhongqi didn't give up and monitored Ms. Wang from outside of her home. He later called for officers to come from the local police station and National Security Team, who then broke into her home, and took her away without showing any legal documents. Ms. Wang was illegally tried on October 31, 2008. On January 21, 2009 she was sentenced four years in prison.
We thought that it was acceptable [to the local authorities] for people to perform exercises to keep our bodies healthy and cultivate our hearts if we practiced at home. Now that Ms. Wang has been sentenced to four years in prison, we are all very concerned. This chilling sentence is unacceptable. We are currently not working, so we have no resources and can't help to protect Mr. Wang Yu's family members. Feeling deep sorrow, we decided to be witnesses and publicize the fact that Mr. Wang quit the CCP before he died.
When Falun Gong was first persecuted, some of Mr. Wang's relatives were taken into custody while going to Beijing to appeal, Mr. Wang said, "It is no use to start a campaign like the Cultural Revolution, and it is also not right to arrest people who do Falun Gong exercises." His relatives went to see him after being released. Mr. Wang simply asked about the situation and was never against Falun Gong. In 2002, when Falun Gong was severely persecuted, he was quite worried.
Because Mr. Wang's daughter practices Falun Gong, the police took her away from her home, using "Olympic Games security" as an excuse. The police, court, and legal system fabricated charges, ignored the laws and facts, and stated that doing the Falun Gong exercises and having Falun Gong materials are crimes, so that they could sentence Ms. Wang Sanying to four years in prison. Her family now has trouble making ends meet. If Mr. Wang Yu knew what has happened, he would feel very disappointed and sad, and would be glad he quit this evil organization that persecutes people openly.
