(Minghui.org) A 75-year-old resident of Yueyang City, Hunan Province was arrested on October 30, 2024, while distributing calendars bearing information about the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Gong.
Officers from the Yueyang City Domestic Security Division took Ms. Cai Guijiao to the Yueyang City Detention Center. She became seriously ill three days later and was admitted to the Guangji Hospital, a private institution owned by retired police officers. It is unclear whether she is still hospitalized at this time.
Ms. Cai took up Falun Gong in 1998 and soon recovered from her numerous illnesses. After the communist regime started to persecute Falun Gong the following year, she held firm to her faith and was repeatedly targeted. She was arrested on October 13, 2005 and held at a brainwashing center for 60 days before being transferred to the Baimalong Labor Camp to serve a one-year term.
After another arrest on February 27, 2012, Ms. Cai was sentenced to three years on January 7, 2013. She served her first nine months at the Yueyang City First Detention Center and the remainder of her term at the Hunan Province Women’s Prison.
Ms. Cai was arrested again on November 18, 2015 and detained for 41 days. The police seized her again on November 14, 2016 and she was sentenced to seven months in prison, serving time at the Yunxi Detention Center. After she was released, the local social security office was instructed by the higher-ups to suspend Ms. Cai’s pension. She appealed the decision and had her pension reinstated in 2021.
For details of Ms. Cai’s past persecution and the torture she endured during each detention, see the related reports below.
