Practitioner Mr. Liu Zhimin from Acheng City was arrested on May 26, 2005 and has so far been held for over four months. In early September he was put on trial at the City Court. On September 22 he received the verdict, pronouncing a four-year prison sentence. Liu Zhimin then decided to stage a hunger strike to protest. He has so far been on this hunger strike for nine days. He is in critical condition.

When his family found out that Liu Zhimin was on a hunger strike, they came to the detention center to visit him. His parents worried a lot when they saw how extremely weak Liu Zhiming was. In order to get him released, his parents submitted an appeal to the court before October 1. After October 1, they talked several times with Han Yang, who is in charge of the case, but Han Yang apparently was trying to shirk the responsibility. They also talked with Wu Da, an officer of the 610 Office, but he also did not offer any help.
