(Minghui.org) A Dalian City, Liaoning Province, resident was recently sentenced to three years and nine months for her faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999.
Ms. Sun Caiyan was arrested on May 12, 2024 and stood trial at the Ganjingzi District Court on September 9, 2024. It is unclear when exactly she was sentenced following her hearing or whether she still remains at the Dalian City Detention Center (also known as the Yaojia Detention Center).
Since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, Ms. Sun’s family has been repeatedly targeted. She was previously sentenced to three years and three months after an arrest in 2014. Her husband, Mr. Guo Qi, who lived under tremendous pressure over the years, died on June 15, 2021, at the age of 51. The mental pressure from the persecution also took a toll on the health of her father-in-law and father, who died in June 2016 and 2019, respectively.
Ms. Sun’s 85-year-old mother, Ms. Wang Yuhe, finished serving a 3-year term in September 2024 for practicing Falun Gong, only to see her daughter prosecuted. The older woman is now having mobility issues and blurred vision from cataracts. She and her 16-year-old grandson (Ms. Sun’s son) struggle to live on their own. For details of the family’s suffering, see the related reports below.
