(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Yujin is a kindhearted farmer from the Center District of Jinan. On November 16, 2010, she was taken from her home by Center District Police Department officers. On May 6, 2011, she was illegally sentenced at the Center District Court. At that time, the court staff, appointed lawyer, and local 610 Office officials prevented Ms. Liu’s husband and daughter from entering the courtroom. Her family alleged that the police and court acted illegally, however, the Procuratorate office refused to accept their case, claiming that they were following an “internal document” guideline.
The following letter was written by Ms. Liu Yujin’s daughter, Tian Guangqing, which alleges that the Center District Court acted illegally.
“On May 6, 2011, when my mother Liu Yujin’s case went to court, my father and I went to the Jinan Center District Court requesting to attend the trial. Officials at the door refused us entry, even though both my father and I presented our identification cards, and my father also had a “Court Hearing Card” that he'd obtained the day before.
“The court staff refused to let my father attend the trial, claiming that he was a witness for this case. On a previous occasion, my father was taken to the Shilulihe Police Station, where he was then interrogated about my mother’s activities. At that time, the police didn't tell my father that he was 'providing evidence.' They didn't inform him that he was considered to be a witness, nor did they explain the document that he was required to sign, or why they took his fingerprints. Therefore, this entire process of 'collecting evidence' was illegal.
“My father remained outside the courtroom during my mother's entire hearing, but was not asked to testify as a witness.
“When I asked to be allowed to attend the trial using my identification card, the staff refused to let me enter. When I asked why, they claimed that it was due to a new internal regulation. Nobody explained the 'internal regulation,' or its legality.
“On the day of the trial, my father and I recognized Deputy Section Leader Dong Shuwei of the Jinan Center District Political and Judiciary Committee and 610 Office officials from our village. They stayed outside the courtroom and kept watching us.”
