(Minghui.org) A 76-year-old woman is facing prosecution for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Liu Renping of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was arrested on June 3, 2021, while taking care of her ex-husband, who has become seriously ill in the past few years and struggles to care for himself.

The next day, her ex-husband called Zhang Lianzhu, the deputy chief of Dalianwan Police Station who arrested Ms. Liu, and demanded her release.

They released her on June 4 but arrested her again when she went back to the police station the next day to demand the return of her confiscated Falun Gong books. Her own home was also ransacked.

Hearing that her mother had been arrested, Ms. Liu’s daughter, who was working out of town, took leave from work and went to Dalian to seek her release, only to be told that the police had submitted her mother’s case to the procuratorate.

Ms. Liu’s daughter is now very worried about her mother’s health and if she is being tortured in custody.
