(Clearwisdom.net) On December 6th, 2002, the Qincheng District Court in the city of Tianshui, Gansu province, unlawfully sentenced eight Dafa practitioners in secret proceedings. Their names and the length of the sentences they were given are as follows:

Tang Qiong, female, sentenced to 12 years in prison;

Yin Xiaolan, female, sentenced to 11 years in jail;

Wang Yongmin, sentenced to 11 years in prison;

Zhang Jinmei, female, sentenced 20 years in prison;

Wang Weiping, sentenced to 19 years in prison;

Yang Jingchun, sentenced to 17 years in prison;

Zhao Lanzhou, sentenced to 12 years in prison; and

Shang Junbin, sentenced to 4 years in prison.

From the time they entered the courtroom until the sentencing was finished, the Dafa practitioners loudly proclaimed "Falun Dafa is good!" and "Falun Dafa is righteous!" This act had a powerful effect in frightening the evil forces by exposing their unlawful actions.
