(Minghui.org) Ms. Miao Shuqing, a Fushun City, Liaoning Province, resident, was arrested on June 15, 2022, for talking to people about Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
While Ms. Miao was released shortly after, the police gave her family a bail release notice in mid-August and charged her daughter a 5,000 yuan bail bond. To avoid further persecution, the 73-year-old woman has had little choice but to live away from home ever since.
Prior to her latest ordeal, Ms. Miao served two prison terms for a total of eight years. She was often shocked by electric batons for long hours, resulting in incontinence and severe damage to her body. Even now, she would become incontinent if she was under pressure. Her left eye has become blind and her right eye has very little vision left. Her family are very worried about her health as she is on the run to hide from the police.
Ms. Miao took up Falun Gong on September 3, 1996, when she was 47. Not long after, her severe heart condition, blood disease and neck problem all disappeared. Her itchy skin became smooth and she took on many household chores without worrying about being out of breath.
After she was arrested on October 8, 2002, the police deprived her of sleep, subjected her to freezing, stretched her legs into an excruciating position and shocked her with electric batons all over her body, including on her private parts and eyes. Her body was severely burnt. Another officer inserted toothpicks into her fingernails.
Ms. Miao was later sentenced to 4.5 years at the Shenyang Women’s Prison, where she was constantly beaten, verbally abused, and forced to slander Falun Gong. Later she regretted her action and wrote a statement to void her words defaming Falun Gong. The guards retaliated by instigating the inmates to beat her.
Ms. Miao was arrested again on November 5, 2012, for putting up Falun Gong flyers in an apartment. She was sentenced to 3.5 years by the Shuncheng District Court on April 22, 2013.
While serving time in Masanjia Women’s Prison, she was again shocked with electric batons, deprived of sleep, and tortured on a tiger bench. The guards also held her in solitary confinement, forced her to sit on a small stool for long hours, hung her up by the wrists, and inserted toothpicks under her fingernails.
A month after she was released on May 4, 2016, the authorities suspended her pension. She appealed with the social security office, which was managing the retirement fund for all employers but to no avail.
