(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhang Xuexia was illegally sentenced to three years for her belief in Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). She was taken to Jinan Women's Prison, but her family was not notified.
The trial was held in Pingyuan County Court on March 2, 2015. Ms. Zhang was charged with “using a cult to undermine implementation of the law,” which is often used to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
Ms. Zhang went on a hunger strike to protest the trial. She wanted to appeal the verdict, but was told that an appeal would not help. She was deceived into signing the verdict.
Ms. Zhang has been held in the Dezhou Detention Center since her arrest on August 8, 2014. Officers interrogated her husband and son and confiscated more than 16,000 yuan in cash and personal belongings.
