Mr. Jing Jianxin Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison
Officials from the Rongyang City 610 Office and Domestic Security Division arrested Mr. Jing Jianxin at work at 6 p.m. on May 17, 2012. The police ransacked his house and confiscated his printer, DVD burner, computer, cash and other personal belongings.
The following day, Mr. Jing's wife, Ms. Xi Feng, went to Gaocun Township Police Station to ask for his release. Police handcuffed her to a chair for 5 days and gave her only a little food and water. She was not allowed to use the restroom for 15 days.
Mr. Jing was held in the Sanlizhuang Detention Center, where he was tortured. His family was not allowed to visit him.
Following a secret trial, he was taken to Xinmi Prison for a 7-year term. His family was not informed until after his transfer to the prison.
Ms. Tan Qingzhi Detained for Over 10 Months
Ms. Tan Qingzhi was arrested the same day as Mr. Jing and has been detained for close to 10 months. Her husband, Mr. Zhou Guoxuan, was on his way home at the time of the arrest. To avoid being arrested as well, he left home and became homeless.
