(Minghui.org) Mr. Song Jiaen was arrested for talking to people about Falun Gong and has been held in the Qingkou Detention Center since June 18, 2015. His family has not been allowed to see him for over a year.

Mr. Song and three other Falun Gong practitioners went to the trial of practitioner Mr. Yu Bing on June 4, 2015. Mr. Song talked to people inside the courtroom about the practice and was arrested right after the trial.

Officers from the Domestic Security Division and Ganyu County 610 Office also went to Mr. Song's home in Ganyu, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, and ransacked it.

Mr. Song's wife has to take care of her 90-year-old bedridden father-in-law and his daughter.
