(Minghui.org) A 61-year-old woman in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, was admitted to the Heilongjiang Province Women’s Prison on November 27, 2025, to serve a three-year term for her faith in Falun Gong.
The wrongful conviction of Ms. Wang Shuhua stemmed from a raid on her home on May 30, 2024. Officers Li Hao and Wang Shiqi from the Shengfeng Police Station (formerly Chaoyang Township Police Station) confiscated her computer and other valuables, but she managed to escape and went into hiding.
Officers Li, Wang, Zhang Yong, Sun Guangwen, Li Xihong, and Liu Tingyu tracked her down and arrested her in her rental place on December 23, 2024.
The Daoli District Court in Harbin City sentenced Ms. Wang to three years on September 19, 2025. Other details of her prosecution remain unknown. She was admitted to the strict management team in Heilongjiang Province Women’s Prison on November 27.
This is not the first time that Ms. Wang has been targeted for her faith since the Chinese Communist Party launched a nationwide campaign against Falun Gong in July 1999. Ms. Wang was arrested at the Shuangcheng City Train Station in Heilongjiang Province in June 2000 while purchasing a ticket to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was detained for 11 days and fined 1,000 yuan.
Ms. Wang made another attempt to travel to Beijing months later, only to be arrested at the Changchun City Rail Station in Jilin Province on December 21, 2000. During her detention, one officer stomped on her head, and another kicked her in the lips. Her eyes swelled, her lips split, and her teeth were loose. She was forced to pay 600 yuan.
It is unclear if Ms. Wang was ever released before she was taken to a brainwashing center in early January 2001. She refused to renounce her faith and went on a hunger strike in protest. She was force-fed three times. After 22 days of detention, she was released, but not before she was forced to pay 1,000 yuan and had the deed to her house confiscated.
Xu Yanjun, Liu Xichen, and Qu Demin from the Chaoyang Township 610 Office broke into Ms. Wang’s workplace in the summer of 2002 and took her to the township brainwashing center. They ordered her to reveal where she got her Falun Gong informational materials.
That night, the trio got drunk and took Ms. Wang to a graveyard, where they forced her to sit on an exposed urn of ashes to terrify her. They later ordered her to write statements to renounce her faith or pay a bail bond. She refused to comply and went on a hunger strike to protest. She was released four days later.
Around the 2003 Chinese New Year (February 1), Ms. Wang was arrested at a police inspection site. The police claimed that someone had reported her for possessing Falun Gong informational materials. They extorted 3,000 yuan from her family before releasing her.
