(Minghui.org) A 35-year-old resident of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province was sentenced to two years on March 9, 2023, for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Wang Jian, an assistant communications engineer for the Harbin Railway Bureau, was arrested on July 11, 2022, on her way to work. Her laptop, printer, Falun Gong books, and cellphone were confiscated. Cheng Long, the police officer in charge of her case, revealed that they had been monitoring her for a long time before the arrest.

Ms. Wang was detained at the Harbin City No.2 Detention Center. Her arrest was approved by the Yilan County Procuratorate on July 20. The police submitted her case to the procuratorate on August 26, and she was indicted on September 26.

The Yilan County Court scheduled a hearing for December 2, 2022, but canceled it due to a local COVID-19 outbreak. The judge rescheduled the hearing for March 6, 2023, and convicted her three days later. In addition to the two-year sentence, the judge also fined her 100,000 yuan. She filed an appeal with the Harbin City Intermediate Court on March 10 and is still waiting for the result.
