(Minghui.org) Mr. Xu Zhiyin’s family went to the Beijiang Prison in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, at around 9 a.m. on April 7, 2022, eager to pick him up as he was scheduled to be released on that day after finishing serving four years for practicing Falun Gong.
What they didn’t know was that the prison had planned to hand over Mr. Xu to the authorities driving all the way from Nanbu County, Sichuan Province––Mr. Xu’s hometown which is about 1,000 miles away, for them to conduct further “education” on him, as Mr. Xu still refused to renounce Falun Gong after four years of torture and brainwashing.
When Mr. Xu’s family arrived at the prison, the officials of Nanbu County Justice Bureau were about 60 miles away. Without telling the family, the prison officials took Mr. Xu to the entrance of the highway, waiting for the Nanbu officials to arrive.
After the Nanhu officials pick up Mr. Xu, they came to the prison, where his family was still waiting. The officials, who acted fiercely, allowed Mr. Xu, who looked emaciated and haggard, to briefly talk to his family for a few minutes, before taking him away.
Mr. Xu Zhiyin
Mr. Xu, 54, served in the military in his younger years. After he left the military, he worked as a reporter for a newspaper and then joined a company in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province as a logistics manager.
In his spare time, he and his wife, Ms. Liu Xin, distributed informational materials about Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999. Both of them were arrested on April 8, 2018, and held at the Baiyun District Detention Center in Guangzhou.
The couple stood trial on September 14, 2018, at Liwan District Court. The judge sentenced Mr. Xu to four years with a 9,000 yuan fine and Ms. Liu to one year with a 5,000 yuan fine on December 27, 2018.
The couple appealed to the Guangzhou City Intermediate Court, which ruled to uphold their original sentences in April 2019. Mr. Xu was taken to the Beijiang Prison on April 25, 2019.
