(Minghui.org) A Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province resident is facing indictment for her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Zhou Lina’s ordeal stemmed from an incident on April 14, 2024, when officers from the Taihe District Domestic Security Division raided her rental home and arrested her roommate, Ms. Meng Chunying, also a Falun Gong practitioner.
While Ms. Zhou escaped the arrest as she wasn’t in, her 115,000 yuan in cash and two Certificates of Deposit, of 50,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan, were seized by the police.
The police followed and arrested Ms. Zhou on August 21, 2024. They questioned her as to what the money was to be used for. She said it was her life-long savings from selling clothes, running a hair salon, and doing odd jobs. She was planning to buy a house with the money. The police haven’t returned the money to date.
Ms. Zhou was taken to the local detention center on the day after her arrest. Although she was found to have a low platelet count and deemed unfit for detention, the guards nonetheless admitted her. She has been detained since and is now facing prosecution, after the police submitted her case to the Linghai City Procuratorate.
