2. The Chaoyang District Court in Changchun City, Jilin Province secretly conducted an illegal trial of Falun Dafa practitioners without notifying their families.

Around August 20, 2002, the Chaoyang District Court in Changchun City, Jilin Province held a secret trial of Falun Dafa practitioners. The police cordoned off the area around the courthouse three days before the trial. No one notified the practitioners' families. Further information regarding the verdict is not available. Also, it is said that the Jilin Province, Changchun City, Liuyuan District Court is going to bring practitioners to trial soon. We are asking all fellow practitioners who hear this information to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners.

3. The Yitong County Court in Jilin Province secretly conducted an illegal trial of a Falun Dafa practitioner.

Practitioner Wang Taimin, a resident of Yitong County, printed Falun Dafa truth-clarification materials to explain the facts of the persecution of Falun Dafa to people. At the end of September 2000, the Yitong Country police kidnapped him, and detained him at the Yitong County Detention Center for Criminals. There they brutally tortured him, and subjected him to mental persecution. Before the hearing, the court blocked all information about the trial. The court did not allow Wang Taimin to have an attorney, and did not notify his family about the trial. The court then sentenced Wang Taimin illegally to four years in prison, and sent him to a prison in Jilin Province. We call upon the good people around the world to uphold justice, and to help Wang Taimin and other Falun Dafa practitioners.
