(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of June 16, 2005, practitioner Kang Yanxiang's 80-year-old mother, and several relatives went to the Office of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee of Hengshui City, Hebei Province. They wanted to meet with officials from the 610 Office to request the unconditional release of Kang Yanxiang and Sun Liangsheng. The guards at the entrance of the building, however, didn't allow them to enter and told them, "There is no one in the 610 Office."

For the past several years, Mr. Kang Yanxiang and Mr. Sun Liangsheng have been brutally persecuted by the Hengshui City 610 Office and other government agencies for practicing Falun Gong. Their persecution accounts have been disclosed on Clearwisdom.net.

When they were first put on trial, the court ruled that there was not enough evidence, and they should be released immediately. Instead, they were illegally detained for more than one and a half years. Recently, they were illegally sentenced to four years of imprisonment by the 610 Office. When their family members and relatives heard about this, they went to appeal to the authorities. Despite the long distance, her old age and the hot weather, Mr. Kang's 80-year-old mother also went to appeal on his behalf. The officials, however, didn't allow them to enter the government building. As a result, they had to stand outside under the scorching sun. Kang Yanxiang's mother was tired and had to sit on the ground.

When more passersby gathered in front of the government building, the practitioners' relatives started to tell people how their loved ones were persecuted by the 610 Office because they believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. People expressed their sympathy and outrage. Only then did the officials of the 610 Office come out. An official even had the audacity to yell at Kang Yanxiang's mother. The passersby scolded the official saying, "How could you treat an elderly woman like that?" Some said, "Our tax dollars pay your salary, yet you send innocent people to prison without notifying their families. Now that their families are here, you don't want to see them, leaving them standing outside in the sun. This is so unfair."

Later several policemen came by, but the practitioners' relatives were not afraid. They continued to tell people the truth about the persecution of their loved ones and requested their release. A middle-aged man in civilian clothes was standing by the building entrance. From time to time, the policemen went to report to him.

At noon, the practitioners' relatives left. That same day, the Hengshui City 610 Office ordered the police to go to their home and harass them.
