    Mr. Liu Deyu from Jingmen City, Hubei Province Illegally Sentenced to Four Years of Imprisonment

    On February 3, Mr. Liu Deyu was illegally sentenced to four years of imprisonment at Dongbao District Court in Jingmen City, Hubei Province. Not until the next day was his wife notified by the court. In addition, she was only given until February 8 to appeal. Such a brazen violation of the law could only be for the purpose of stopping her from appealing to a higher court.

    Mr. Liu Deyu, 53-year-old a Falun Gong practitioner, is employed with Jingmen City Anti-epidemic Station. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Mr. Liu was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. He was forced to undergo brainwashing and subjected to all kinds of humiliation and torture. At 10 a.m. on June 23, 2009, when Mr. Liu was clarifying the truth to people in his community, he was beaten and wounded by police officers. He was forced to leave home and went to Zhijiang City in Hubei Province, where he sold socks to make a living. Later, he was arrested and taken back by police officers and detained at Huyaguan Detention Center in Jingmen City, Hubei Province.

    Mr. Liu was arrested again on September 7, 2009, after an warrant was issued on July 17. The person who signed the warrant was Ji Zhenjun, captain of Dongbao District Police's Domestic Security Team, who was mainly responsible for torturing practitioner Mr. Chen Qiji to death. Another person involved in the persecution was Chen Yue, the political instructor of Jingmen City Police's Domestic Security Team, who has actively participated in persecuting local Falun Gong practitioners.
