【新唐人2014年12月18日訊】曾引發國際社會關注的黑龍江「建三江事件」雖然已經過去8個多月了，但至今仍有4名法輪功學員被非法關押。12月17號，這起案件終於開審。不過，當地警方在開庭前就大肆抓捕想旁聽的人士、阻止證人出庭，並設置重重關卡，多方阻撓8位辯護律師進入法庭為法輪功學員做無罪辯護。
在「建三江事件」中，與律師同時被非法綁架迫害的法輪功學員共有7人，至今，仍有4名法輪功學員被非法關押，包括石孟文、孟繁荔、王燕欣和李桂芳。由於恐懼案件的影響力，庭審日期一延再延。
17號早上，有不少大陸網友在微信、微博等社交媒體上，轉發關於建三江事件的最新消息，指法庭所在的前進農場的進出通道，已被大批特警把持。當天共有8名辯護律師，包括王宇、藺其磊、王全章、唐天昊、陳智勇、張維玉、襲祥棟，以及劉連賀。其中，王宇、藺其磊等4位辯護律師和一位前去旁聽的律師，乘車趕往法庭時，遭到攔截。
王宇律師透露，建三江當局設了三道關卡，他們在第一道關卡就被攔下了，在雪地裡等了將近40分鐘，才搭上計程車。
辯護律師王宇：「我們被他們設定的關卡給扣住了，把我身份證扣下了，又把司機也扣了，把車也扣了，讓我們在他那邊設立關卡站，先是在裡邊等，然後把我們攆出來，室外是大雪，零下30多度。等了大概有40分鐘，當時把我們車扣了以後，有一輛大巴往那邊去，我們要上大巴，他們局長不讓那個車拉我們。」
隨後，王宇律師在微信上透露，他們在第二道關卡又被攔了10多分鐘，計程車到了法庭門前也不讓過，繞行了一大圈路，約有2、3公里才進入法庭，那時已經10點多了。
據社交媒體消息，為了阻止民眾前往法庭旁聽或作證，一些建三江居民家前後門甚至被當局用鐵鍊鎖住。當事人石孟文的家屬在第一道關卡被非法攔截。石孟文的哥哥和姐姐身為黑監獄受害人，本想到法庭當庭作證，也分別被阻隔在法庭之外或禁閉在家。而當事人孟繁荔唯一的姊姊和兩位陪同朋友，也在法庭前被警察劫持到派出所。
王宇：「所有的過的車輛，他都要檢查，身份證各方面的、司機的情況，人員的訊息都檢查。據說昨天晚上已帶走不少人，來旁聽的都給抓回去了。」
維權律師唐吉田：「今天他們的行為印證了在農墾系統，特別建三江這個地方，他們長期以來侵犯人權的一些事實。但不管怎麼說，有8、9位律師在前方克服各種困難，去為受害者辯護，包括受害者家屬在內的各方麵人士也積極的去行使權利，讓他們感覺到緊張和驚慌，說明正義的力量在增長。」
17號中午11點50分，辯護律師王全章發出微博，指出律師們在庭前會議中，發現石孟文穿著單薄的囚衣和拖鞋，說看守所不讓穿棉衣。王律師痛批，建三江的戶外氣溫達零下30度，他們穿著厚厚的棉衣都感覺冷，「建三江看守所毫無人性人道！」
辯護律師劉連賀：「四名被告人情緒還行，只是在下午休庭的時候，應該是李桂芳，因為她年歲大了一點，她就有高血壓的情況。再有呢石孟文開庭的時候只穿著單衣服，後來我們跟審判長交涉，下午開庭的時候給他買了軍大衣，看守所好像都不讓穿棉衣，不是針對他。」
辯護律師劉連賀告訴《新唐人》，下午1點才開庭，休庭了4、5次，庭審大約在5點半結束，18號早上還要開庭審理。
劉連賀：「他程序就是全部違法的，中間休了(幾次)，我們老是申請讓他們迴避嘛，也提出了抗議，他老想把法庭開下去，我們就不答應他。他列了7項證據，最後一個是處理法輪功的案件的會議精神那麼一個證據，他隱密了，他覺得那肯定是不合適的，公訴人在念起訴書的時候，他把那個給捨去了，我們就不答應，迫使他休庭了。」
劉連賀律師透露，他們在回家的路上，也被攔下接受檢查。
劉連賀：「就是專門盯著我們兩輛出租車，兩輛出租車一直在庭外等著我們，等了一天，我們啟動以後，警察可能把車號告訴前面的關卡，就給我們攔下來，攔下來以後還是查身份證，後來王全章律師在給他們錄像的時候起了爭執，把手機給搶走了，後來經過交涉，把手機還給我們了。」
劉連賀律師表示，法院說明天早上9點半還要開庭，但能否真的開庭，開了庭以後，如果傳證人到庭，當局能不能讓這些人來，都是個問題。

Checkpoints Block Defending Lawyers in Jiansanjiang
Nine months have passed since the Jiansanjiang Incident
drew attention from the world.
Currently, there are still 4 Falun Gong practitioners illegally
detained there.
Finally on Dec.17, their cases came to a court trial.
However, for those who went to sit in or testify in the trial,
Jiangsanijang’s local police had massively detained them
or held them at home.
The police also set several checkpoints in an attempt
to stop 8 defending lawyers attending the trial.
In the Jiansanjiang Incident, 7 Falun Gong practitioners
were abducted and persecuted along with justice lawyers.
Currently, four of them are still in illegal detention.
They are Shi Mengwen, Meng Fanli, Wang Yanxin
and Li Guifang.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has deferred the court
trial several times, being fearful of the huge impact
of the Jiangsanjiang cases.
On the morning of Dec.17, many mainland netizens began to
update news about Jiansanjiang on Weibo or WeChat.
The trial began at 9 am, and a large group of special police
were guarding the roads into and out of the court.
There are 8 defending lawyers for the trial.
They are Wang Yu, Lin Qilei, Wang Quanzhang, Tang Tianhao,
Chen Zhiyong, Zhang WeiYu, Xi Xiangdong and Liu Lianhe.
Four of them, including Wang Yu and Lin Qilei, as well as
a lawyer with them to sit in the trial, were blocked
on their way to the court.
Lawyer Wang Yu said, Jiangsanjiang authority had set up
three checkpoints.
They were stopped at the first one, and had to wait for
nearly 40 minutes in snow before getting in the taxi.
Wang Yu, defending lawyer: “We were stopped at
the checkpoint.
They took away my ID, and kept our driver and the car.
In the beginning, we are told to stand inside the checkpoint.
Then we were driven out of the room and had to
wait outdoor in the snow.
The temperature was minus 30 C.
At that time, a bus passed the checkpoint in the direction
of the court.
We intended to get on that bus but the checkpoint director
did not allow the bus to take us."
Shortly afterwards, Wang Yu wrote on WeChat that they
were again delayed at the second checkpoint for
over 10 minutes.
The taxi was also blocked at an entrance to the court.
They had to travel for another 2 or 3 kilometers.
It had been after 10 am when the lawyers finally
arrived at the court.
According to social network updates, Jiangsanjiang’s
authority had sealed off doors of local residents
with iron chains, so as to prevent them from sitting in or
testifying in the trial.
One of the litigants Shi Mengwen’s family members were
also blocked at the first checkpoint.
Shi’s elder brother and elder sister had planned to testify
in the trial, as they were also victims of the black prison.
Both of them were either blocked or held at home
by the local authority.
Another litigant Meng Fanli’s only sister and two friends
were also abducted by police before the trial.
Wang Yu:"They are inspecting all passing vehicles, collecting
information about identities of drivers and passengers.
It was said that many people had been detained and
sent back home last night."
Tang Jitian, defending lawyer: “What they did today confirms
that in the CCP’s farming system, especially at Jiansanjiang,
there have long been serious violations of human rights.
On the other hand, 8 or 9 lawyers had overcome
all difficulties to defend the victims.
Families of litigants were also actively exercising their
basic rights.
All these make the CCP authority more nervous and
frightened, suggesting how the power of justice
begins to dominate."
At 11:50 am of the day, defending lawyer Wang Quanzhang
revealed on Weibo that, lawyers found Shi Mengwen
only wore thin prison uniform and slippers.
Shi said the detention center did not let them wear
cotton-padded jackets.
The outdoor temperature was minus 30 C and lawyers
still felt cold in very thick jackets.
Wang thus said “Jiansanjiang detention center definitely
has nothing called humanity!"
Liu Lianhe, defending lawyer: “The four litigants looked
pretty calm.
I think it was Li Lianfang that showed hypertension in
the afternoon break as she is older.
In addition, Shi Mengwen only wore thin clothes at
the beginning of trial.
We negotiated with the chief judge, and bought him
a military coat.
It seems that the detention center there does not
let prisoners wear coats."
Liu LIanhe told NTD that, the court had adjourned
4 or 5 times on the day.
The trial ended at about 5:30 pm, and will reopen
the next morning.
Liu Lianhe: “The whole trial followed unlawful procedures.
There were several breaks as we protested many times.
They tried to move forward but we won’t accept.
They listed 7 pieces of evidence.
Among them the last one is a so-called conference
decision on tackling Falun Gong cases.
They did not mention this one as they must also
think that is improper.
The procurator skipped that part when reading
the indictment. Of course we won’t accept this
so the court was forced to take a break."
Liu Lianhe also said, lawyers were again stopped
and inspected on their way back.
Liu Lianhe: “Two taxis had been waiting outside the court
for the whole day.
After we left, probably the police contacted the checkpoint
and told them the taxis’ number-plates.
We were blocked there and they again checked our ID cards.
Wang Quanzhang videotaped what they did
and there was a dispute.
They took away his cell phone but later
returned it to us after negotiation."
Liu Lianhe said, the court stated the trial would reopen
at 9:30 am the next day.
However, it is still unclear whether the trial will be able to
reopen, and whether the CCP authority will allow witnesses
to give testimony.
