(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Cuilan was sentenced to 10 years in prison at the Luyuan District Court, Changchun City, Jilin Province on November 23, 2006.
Ms. Yu Cuilan was arrested by officers of the Changchun City Police Department National Security Division while shopping at the Caishen Shopping Center near her house on May 19, 2006. She was taken to the Third Detention Center in Changchun. There, the guards would not accept her because of her ill health. She was subsequently taken to the Jilin Province Forced Labor Hospital.
On August 9, 2006, the hospital at the forced labor camp received a bill of prosecution from the procurator's office of the Changchun City First Auto Company. It had been forwarded by agents from the Changchun City Luyuan District Court. Trumped up charges compiled from so-called facts all dated way back in in 2000 or 2003. Ms. Yu Cuilan had gone through extended persecution for her righteous acts.
Since Ms. Yu had already been on a month long hunger strike to protest her unjust treatment and was too weak to walk, at around 5:00 a.m. on September 27, 2006, officers from the Luyuan District Court carried Ms. Yu on a stretcher to court. During the trial, Ms. Yu was not allowed to speak for herself and court officials answered questions in her place.
A second trial was held on November 23, 2006, in which Ms. Yu Cuilan was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Ms. Yu appealed this sentence.
On December 7, 2006, agents from the Changchun City Middle Court asked Ms. Yu to return the official judgment paper and declared that they would double check it with Ms. Cui's appeal.
Ms. Yu has been tortured so severely that she can no longer take care of herself. She can not even walk anymore and has become severely emaciated.
Ms. Yu Cuilan's has been arrested and sentenced on a ridiculous set of pretenses. However, such unfair and unlawful acts are routinely carried out against innocent Falun Dafa practitioners.
