Recent Account of Persecution at the Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province
2007-11-20
Due to the recent 17th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress, the visitation schedule at Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp was disrupted. The guards have been harassing the visiting family members and turned them away without granting visitation. There were practitioners on long term hunger strikes and in critical condition in the labour camp. The labour camp authorities forced their family members to come from far away to help persuade the practitioners to stop their hunger strikes and give up Falun Gong. If the family members failed in their efforts, the labour camp continued to imprison the practitioners. Furthermore, they denied family visits the next day, which was an official visiting day. -

Ms. Wang Xiaoren was Unjustly Tried by Judicial System in Jinan City, Shandong Province
2007-11-10On October 24th, 2007, Ms. Wang Xiaoren, a Falun Dafa practitioner, was tried in the Fourth Courtroom in the Lixia District of Jinan City, Shandong Province.

The chief justice, Liu Yong, refused to allow Ms. Wang's husband to attend the trial, claiming that he was involved in the case. The chief justice made his judgment very quickly because Ms. Wang did not have a defence counsel. In addition, because he was afraid that Ms. Wang would speak out about the persecution of Falun Gong in court, the chief justice continually interrupted Ms. Wang and distorted her words when she attempted to defend herself.
