(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhao Sumei was arrested last November for possessing materials exposing the persecution of Falun Gong at her home in Taiyuan City.

Ms. Zhao's trial was held at the Xinghualing District Court in Taiyuan on March 31, 2016.

Judge Ji Liqing twice interrupted her defense lawyer, Lu Zhoubin, while he presented his arguments. The judge initially did not allow him to question the prosecutor; after the lawyer strongly protested, he was allowed only one question.

Ms. Zhao's daughter, Ms. Jiang Feng, was registered to defend her. When she was ready to testify on her mother's behalf, the judge stopped her and allowed Ms. Jiang to say only one sentence.
