(Minghui.org) Three Shanghai residents were recently sentenced to prison, eight months after their February 20, 2014 arrests for watching videos of Shen Yun Performing Arts shows that promote traditional Chinese culture.
Mr. Gu Shouxian (谷守先), 74, was given a three and a half year prison term. His wife Ms. Cheng Xiangnu (陈香女), 73, received three years, as did 78-year-old Ms. Gong Naifang (龚乃芳). The Xuhui District Court handed down the sentences during the second trial of the three Falun Gong practitioners on October 21, 2014.
Ms. Gong went on a hunger strike in detention and vomited blood. The authorities denied her family's request for her release on bail for medical treatment, and are restricting information about her.
Ms. Gong's husband, who is in his eighties, is ill and anxious for his wife's return.
Ms. Gong had been arrested multiple times. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities did not provide any legal documents or warrants when making the arrests. She was taken to brainwashing centers twice after being arrested.
Zhu Xiwei, a Xuhui District Court judge, is one of the main officials in charge of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in the district. Over the past over ten years, he has bent the law and participated in sentencing many practitioners, including Li Yaohua, Zhang Yibo, Zhang Qin, Bai Gendi, Yao Yuhua, Yang Liang, Wang Chao, Chen Ping, Zhao Lijun, Huang Qiaoqin, Rong Huijun, Zhai Qiaoying, and Li Meizhen.
Zhu is also responsible for sentencing Mr. Gu, Ms. Cheng, and Ms. Gong.
