Mr. Zhang Guoyu from Liaoning Province Illegally Detained in a Labor Camp, His Family Not Allowed to Appeal

March 5, 2007

(Clearwisdom.net) Zhang Guoyu, a Falun Dafa practitioner in Dalian City, Liaoning province, was illegally arrested at work by policemen on September 12, 2006. The CCP governors then denied Zhang's family the right to appeal against the detention in the labor camp.

Recently, Zhang Guoyu has been shifted to the second team of the eighth division in the Dalian Labor Camp. While on a huger strike to protest against the persecution, he was tortured with forced feeding that left a tube in his stomach, and Zhang Guoyu was still being strictly locked up.

On February 8, 2007, Zhang Guoyu authorized his family to appeal against his arrest and detention at the local court. During their preparation of all the documentation required for setting up a formal appeal, the court judge, Li Heng, directed the administration officers to close this specific case with the stipulation that the explanation for disqualification would come later.

When Mr. Zhang's family was questioned about the reason for the disqualification, their reply was, "No reason". When the court documents were requested, the reply they got was that there were none as it was an order from the superior, whom they were asked to see for further help but without any further information being given.

The regulations officially state that one can appeal again within three months if one do not accept the court's sentence. Mr. Zhang's family followed the regulation to appeal but found out that the case had been closed to further appeal by the CCP governors without any legal explanation because it's related to Falun Gong. By looking at this circumstance, it would clearly indicate that Zhang Guoyu's human rights were violated as his right to appeal had been taken away for no reason. This reflects the extreme nature of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong in China, that covering up illegal activity is no longer considered necessary.
