(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Meihua was again tried on June 3, 2015 by the Wuzhong District Court in Suzhou City.
Witnesses from the 610 Office, police, and the Procuratorate were unable to support the charges filed against Ms. Sun.
The Wuzhong District Court scheduled Ms. Sun's trial on May 19, 2015, without notifying her lawyer or family members. The lawyer protested, pointing to existing rules stating that the litigant's lawyer shall be informed before the trial. Judge Hua Yifeng had to reschedule the trial.
Ms. Sun was tried again by the Wuzhong District Court on the afternoon of June 3, 2015. The trial lasted for two hours.
Ms. Sun's family members were held outside the courtroom until 15 minutes before the court session. They were seated beside uniformed and plainclothes officers.

Ms. Sun Meihua, 48, is from Dongzhu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City.
