Ms. Wang Shuli (trial ongoing)
Ms. Wang Shuli was to be tried for a third time on August 6, 2015. The judge did not allow her relatives to attend the trial, claiming that they did not have their identification cards with them.
Her attorney argued that the trial was open to the public and that Ms. Wang’s relatives had already passed the court’s security check, and thus had the right to attend. This argument ended in a deadlock, and the judge adjourned and rescheduled the hearing for September 8, 2015.
Ms. Wang was arrested by officers from the Shangcang Police Station and Ji County Domestic Security Division on September 18, 2014, for talking to people about the persecution of Falun Gong. She has been detained at the Ji County Detention Center for almost a year.
