(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhu Weijun, 61, from the Shahekou District in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, has been held in custody for nearly 10 months. She was sentenced to four years in prison in the Shahekou District Court on June 28, 2019. She is now emaciated as a result of abuse.
Before she began practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Zhu suffered from numerous health problems and lived in misery. In addition to insomnia and depression, she often had headaches.
Over the years, she tried various treatments, including Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and other unorthodox remedies. Nothing helped. After she began practicing Falun Gong, all her ailments disappeared. She quickly regained her health and was full of energy.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong in 1999. Ms. Zhu was arrested in early March 2010 by officers from the Huabeilu Police Station for distributing information about Falun Gong. Her home was ransacked, and she was then held in the Fushun City Brainwashing Center for three months.
The “Special Cases Task Force” campaign coordinated by the Liaoning Province Public Security Department mobilized city and county police departments to arrest Falun Gong practitioners across different regions between August 22 and 23, 2018.
At around 2:00 p.m. on August 22, 2018, deputy director He Tao; officers Chi Zuolei, Zhang Chengyu, and Na Dongsheng from the Harbinlu Police Station; and Liu Wanchao, an officer from the Dalian Development Zone Domestic Security Division, arrived at Ms. Zhu’s home. They claimed they were checking for gas leaks and tricked her into opening her door. The officers rushed in, ransacked the place, and arrested Ms. Zhu in front of her 90-year-old mother.
Ms. Zhu has been held in the Yaojia Detention Center and is now very weak. She was officially placed under arrest by the Economic and Technological Development Zone Procuratorate on September 27, 2018.
Her case was transferred to the Shahekou Procuratorate on November 30, 2018. The Procuratorate returned the case twice to the police department for additional investigation, after which they turned the case over to the Shahekou District Court.
Ms. Zhu was tried on June 24, 2019, and sentenced to four years in prison on June 28.
Ms. Zhu’s 90-year-old mother was traumatized and briefly hospitalized. She has been inconsolable ever since.
