(Minghui.org) Weeks after four Wuhan City, Hubei Province residents were released on bail after two years of detention, they were ordered to stand trial for their shared faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual and meditation discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
The four residents, including Mr. Xiong Youyi, Mr. Zhou Guoqiang, Mr. Zhang Bo and Mr. Li Jun, all worked for the Xi Garden Property Management Office in Donghu District. They were arrested together on December 26, 2018. The police ransacked their homes and confiscated a total of over 80,000 yuan in cash from them.
Mr. Zhang's 78-year-old father was so devastated by his detention that he fell ill and had to be hospitalized. The elderly man passed away on April 13, 2019. He kept calling Mr. Zhang's name in his final days, yet the authorities denied his family's request to allow Mr. Zhang to see his father for one last time.
During their detention at the Wuchang District Detention Center, the four practitioners were beaten and force-fed by director Wang Hui, deputy director Wang Jihao, and doctor Zou. These officials also ordered other inmates to beat them and deprive them of sleep.
Mr. Li’s hair turned gray due to malnutrition and he also suffered from gastric perforation from the force-feeding.
Mr. Zhou was held in isolation and recently given a comprehensive physical exam. His liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, and corneas were specifically checked out and blood and bone marrow samples forcibly taken. He suspected it was related to the forced organ harvesting crime targeting Falun Gong practitioners.
After two years of detention, the four practitioners were released on bail in December 2020. The Wuchang District Court quickly scheduled a hearing for December 24. The details of the hearing and the practitioners’ current situation remain unclear at the time of writing.
