Judge Sentences Schoolteacher to Four-Year Prison Term While She Lay Unconscious in Court Due to Torture

Oct. 7, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Liaoning Province) At 2 p.m. on September 18, 2009, a court in Linghe District, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, convened a hearing for Ms. Wang Lige, a Falun Dafa practitioner who taught English at the Jinzhou City Secondary Middle School.

From information provided by an eye-witness, Ms. Wang, who was tortured to the point of being in critical condition, was carried into the courtroom. She fainted as soon as she sat down. Chief judge Zhou Jun let Ms Wang lie on the floor, then hastily read the court verdict: four years in prison. Ms Wang was unconscious throughout the entire proceedings.

The court didn't notify Ms. Wang' attorney, which was a clear violation of legal procedures, depriving her of her lawful rights and interests.

Due to the court's illegal verdict, Ms. Wang's family sought out Wang Jinwen, the criminal court vice presiding judge. Wang Jinwen falsely alleged that they had contacted Ms. Wang's attorney and that the attorney didn't appear. He also lied about Ms. Wang's health. In fact, Ms. Wang's attorney had never received any notice from the court. Ms. Wang' attorney and her family are enraged about this illegal act.

Zhou Jun, chief judge: 86-416-2872610 (Office), 86-13840666678 (Cell)

Meng Ying, criminal court presiding judge: 86-416-2872622(Office), 86-13941686530 (Cell)

Wang Jinwen, criminal court vice presiding judge: 86-416-2872623 (Office), 86-13504060055 (Cell)
