(Minghui.org) Two police officers knocked on Ms. Zhang Fengling’s door on the morning of July 15, 2022, and claimed to be conducting a census. After the 72-year-old woman opened the door, a group of officers broke in and arrested her. They ransacked her home and took her away. Many of her neighbors heard her screaming during the arrest.

Ms. Zhang, a resident of Daan City, Jilin Province, is currently held at the Baicheng City Detention Center. She is now facing prosecution after the police submitted her case to the Daan City Procuratorate.

Upon hearing about Ms. Zhang’s arrest, her son rushed to her home, only to be arrested and held at the Jinhua Police Station for “disrupting administrative law enforcement.” He was released at around 7 p.m. that day.

Another four practitioners were also arrested the same day, including Mr. Wei Jingran, Ms. Wang Xuemei, Ms. Li Yanqiu, and Mr. Wang Cai’s wife (name unknown). Ms. Wang Xuemei’s current status isn’t clear, but the other three practitioners have been released at the time of writing.

Past Persecution of Ms. Zhang and Her Daughter

Ms. Zhang was previously arrested with her daughter, Ms. Wang Hongyan, on October 9, 2017, after the police pried open their door. Ms. Zhang’s computer and printer were confiscated.

The police soon submitted their cases to the Taonan City Procuratorate, which approved their arrests in December 2017. The Taonan City Court sentenced Ms. Zhang to two years with two years probation and Ms. Wang to four years in May 2018. Both of them were also fined 5,000 yuan each.

Ms. Zhang’s husband was dealt a blow by his wife and daughter’s arrests and soon passed away. Ms. Zhang has been living on her own since she was released in the fall of 2018. The one-year incarceration also took a toll on her health and she was once in critical condition. In the past few years, she often fainted from time to time. Her family is now very worried about her.
