(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Cao Guoxian, an over 50-year-old Falun Gong practitioner, was tried illegally by the Court of Duchang County, Jiangxi Province, on May 27, 2010. Ms. Cao was arrested on March 21, 2010, and has been held in the Duchang County Detention Center. Her family asked several times to visit her but they were never allowed to.
At half past eight on May 27, many people showed up at the courthouse. Among them were Ms. Cao's family members, relatives, and fellow villagers. It was reported that Liu Jianhong, the presiding judge of the court, was very angry because he received many phone calls from the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other parts of the world. The callers tried to tell him the facts about Falun Gong and asked him to stop persecuting practitioners. He lost his temper at Ms. Cao's family and blamed them for having leaked information about the trial.
Around 8:50 a.m., Ms. Cao was brought to the courthouse in a police car. All of her family members and relatives asked to attend the trial, but only her son, daughter and son-in-law were allowed to enter the courtroom. The police were ordered to prevent practitioners from entering and to record those gathered around the courtroom door.
At about 10:30 a.m., Ms. Cao excited the courtroom escorted by police. It was reported that court personnel had received phone calls from Falun Gong practitioners worldwide, bringing the trial to a hasty end.
