Because of practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Chen Zhenping was sentenced to 18 years in prison. But the verdict was not made available to her family. On January 4, 2009, when her daughter Ms. Jin Zhaohuan went to ask for a copy of the verdict, the judge pushed her down, showered her with kicks, pummeled her with fists, grabbed her hair and knocked her head against a wall.
