1. [Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province] Practitioner Liu Yu Held Beyond Expiration of Term
According to rule No. 57 of the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the People's Court should hand down the first verdict within three months after the day a lawsuit is filed. If there is any special situation that requires extra time, it should be approved by the Superior People's Court. If a Superior People's Court needs extra time to give the first verdict, such extra time should be approved by the Supreme People's Court.
Practitioner Liu Yu from Shenzhen City has been held for over ten months at the Longgang Detention Center. In mid-October 2005, Liu received a legal document from the Longgang District Procurator's Office dated September 26. On the morning of October 21, Longgang Court officials held a hearing, but made no judgment. Now the time has far exceeded the period for the first verdict. Personnel from the Longgang District Court have neither released Liu Yu nor handed down any verdict. They didn't ask approval from the Superior Court to extend the time either. Liu Yu's family, friends, and fellow practitioners have made phone calls to the office of judge Xu Guang, who is in charge of the case, but they have not received an answer.
