(Minghui.org) Nearly two years after a 75-year-old Daan City, Jilin Province resident went missing in 2021, her family finally confirmed that she was secretly sentenced for her faith in Falun Gong and has been taken to the Jilin Province Women’s Prison.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

When her daughter fell sick and was hospitalized two years ago, Ms. Zhao Shuqin made plans to travel to Beijing to help care for her daughter and two young grandchildren. While taking a transfer at the Changchun Train Station in Jilin Province on March 9, 2021, she was stopped and had her luggage searched. The police arrested her upon finding Falun Gong materials in her bag.

The police claimed that they had to keep Ms. Zhao detained, as the communist regime was having their National Congress in Beijing during the time and she had the inclination to “disrupt social order.”

The authorities kept Ms. Zhao at the Baicheng City Detention Center and denied her family from visiting her. Ms. Zhao repeatedly demanded to be released so that she could care for her ailing daughter, but to no avail.

After Ms. Zhao was later transferred to another detention location, the authorities kept her family in the dark of her whereabouts. Her family recently confirmed that she has been sentenced to 3.5 years and fined 5,000 yuan. She has been taken to the 10th ward at the provincial women’s prison.

According to an insider, Ms. Zhao has also been hospitalized due to a medical condition, while her daughter is in serious condition, as her health has further deteriorated over the past two years.
