(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhang Xiangyun and Ms. Sun Guizhi from Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, were arrested for distributing informational materials about Falun Gong. They went into hiding after being released on bail. Ms. Zhang was later taken back into custody and sentenced to three and a half years, while Ms. Sun is still living away from home to avoid being arrested.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
The women were arrested on January 26, 2022, after being reported for distributing Falun Gong materials. Ms. Sun’s Falun Gong materials were confiscated.
Because Ms. Zhang’s two grandsons were at home by themselves when the police came, the officers didn’t raid the place. Both women were released at around 7 p.m. that day and ordered to report to the police station whenever they were summoned. As soon as Ms. Zhang returned home, the police ransacked her place.
To avoid being persecuted, the two practitioners left home and went into hiding. Two days later, Ms. Zhang’s son-in-law picked her up from a relative’s home in another city. The police, who had staked out her home, arrested her as soon as she returned.
The police also attempted to arrest Ms. Sun, but she wasn’t home when the police showed up. They ransacked her home again but didn’t find any Falun Gong materials and left.
Ms. Zhang was held in the Ningcheng County Detention Center. Her family demanded her release but to no avail. She was indicted by the local procuratorate in May 2022 and sentenced to three and a half years on June 23, 2022.
