(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Jia Guiqin, in her 60s, is a Falun Gong practitioner in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province.
On April 24, 2010, several officers from Chaoyang Qianjin Police Department broke into Ms. Jia's home. They illegally arrested her and her husband, Mr. Li Hua, and took them to Wujiawa Detention Center in Chaoyang.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) Chaoyang Political and Legal Committee, Chaoyang 610 Office, Chaoyang Shuangta District Procuratorate, and Shuangta District Court jointly conspired to sentence Ms. Jia to 13 years in prison and Mr. Li to three years in prison with five years suspension. Mr. Jia appealed to Chaoyang Intermediate Court, but the intermediate court called Ms. Jia's family members to threaten them. It also prohibited Ms. Jia from seeing an attorney even if she hired one. It wouldn't schedule a trial for the appeal and had already decided to uphold the original verdict.
During the couple's detention and first trial, Chief Judge Bai Lan of the Shuangta District Court repeatedly prevented Ms. Jia's family from hiring an attorney for her. Two days before the trial, three officers from Chaoyang Police Department arrested Ms. Jia's daughter-in-law and took her to the police station. They threatened her for several hours, asking her for the names of her relatives who went with her to appeal for justice in this case, so that they could threaten all of Ms. Jia's family to keep them from appealing.
On July 14, Chief Judge Bai Lan, Judge Zhang Xiaohua, Juror Wang Cuiling, Clerk Zhang Xiaofan, Public Prosecutor Liu Fei, and others tried Ms. Jia Guiqin and her husband. The couple didn't even have an attorney to defend them. Procurator Liu Fei from the Shuangta District Procuratorate claimed that he had handled all the trials of Falun Gong practitioners in the Shuangta District since 2002.
Ms. Jia Guiqin's mother passed away when she was small. Ms. Jia had been in poor health. She had severe rheumatism, heart problems, eye disease, rhinitis, and other diseases. Her health became worse and worse. Also, her joints were disfigured and caused her great pain. She almost lost the ability to take care of herself. In less than a month after she started practicing Falun Gong, all of her diseases disappeared. She felt that she was very lucky to attain such a great Fa. Since then, as a kind person, she has lived by the principles of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance and always thinks of others first.
Ms. Jia runs a "Grassland Xingfa" meat store. Because she never sells counterfeit or bad stuff, many customers come to her store due to her reputation. Even her competitors tell their customers, "If you want to buy good meat, go to Grassland Xingfa." It is quite often that Ms. Jia takes a few cents less from a customer or gives customer a few ounces more meat. Though she does not run a meat processing business, she often does that for customers free of charge. Once an old lady who had difficulty walking came in to Ms. Jia's store. Ms. Jia told her, "In the future, whenever you need something, just give us a call and we'll deliver it to you." Now they have been delivering to her for many years. The old lady said, "Seeing what you have done, I know all Falun Gong practitioners are good people!"
The residence building that Ms. Jia lives in does not have a property management office. Neighbors put money together to hire people to clean the septic tank. After practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Jia hired people with her own money and never complained. Her neighbors said, "That couple are really good people!"
