Ms. Shan Jining from Yinchuan City, Ningxia Province, was recently illegally sentenced to four years in prison. Her husband, Mr. Wang Desheng, was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2005.
On October 17, 2009, Ms. Shan was reported to the authorities while she was clarifying the truth about Falun Gong at Guangming Square in Yinchuan City. She was arrested by Jiefangxi Street Police Station. After being held at Yinchuan City Detention Center for several months, she was secretly sentenced to four years in prison. She is currently jailed at the Women's Prison of Yinchuan City.
While Ms. Shan was being held at the detention center, her mother and other family members went to the relevant government agencies several times to request her release, but they did not get any answers.
Ms. Shan began to practice Falun Gong in 1996. After the start of the persecution on July 20, 1999, she went to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Gong. In 2005, Yongning County Police Department arrested her, and she was sentenced to three years of forced labor. Upon the expiration of her term at the Ningxia Women's Forced Labor Camp, the camp officials extended her detention. Shortly after she was released, she was sent to a brainwashing center.
Ms. Shan's husband, Mr. Wang Desheng, was an employee at Zhongning Power Plant in Ningxia Province. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1993 and was a volunteer assistant for the province. Shortly after the persecution began, he went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. However, he was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison. He was jailed at Guanmahu Prison in Wuzhong City, Ningxia Province.
On January 6, 2005, Yinchuan City police arrested him again, and he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
