(Clearwisdom.net) On January 31, 2005, the Tiexi District Court of Shenyang City illegally tried Ms. Shi Shengying, a Falun Gong practitioner from the Tiexi District, in the Courtroom 12 on the second floor of the courthouse. Shi Shengying, 65 years old, was arrested in early December 2004, while she was talking with the people about the truth of Falun Gong at Xinghua Park in the Tiexi District. Since then, she has been illegally detained in a Shenyang City jail.

During her so-called "hearing," the chief judge repeatedly interrupted Shi Shengying's testimony. Ms. Shi explained that she had been disabled due to a car accident and that she had recovered only after beginning to practice Falun Dafa. Although she had benefited from Falun Dafa both physically and spiritually, she was being inhumanly persecuted for her belief at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. The chief judge interrupted her, "Do not talk about these things. Just say whether you spread propaganda about Falun Gong in the park." Ms. Shi's family members questioned the interruption and said that it is absolutely legal for anyone to practice Falun Gong and to be a good person. The main judge then hastily announced, "That is the end of the hearing. A sentence will be announced on a selected date after a court discussion."

Right before the opening of the trial, a tall policeman threatened, pushed and hit Ms. Shi's husband while he was trying to inquire about some hearing-related questions. When Ms. Shi's daughter saw that her mother still wore a pair of plastic slippers in the wintertime, she brought a pair of cotton shoes for her mother. However, the police refused to allow the daughter to give them to her.
