(Minghui.org) Ms. Guo Xiaoyun from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, was sentenced to three years with five years probation on January 3, 2024 for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999.

Ms. Guo and her husband, Mr. Huang Yiqin, visited her hometown in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province in February 2023. They were arrested there on February 14 after being reported for distributing Falun Gong informational materials in a residential area in Jiangyan District the day before. The police looked at the surveillance videos and tracked them down.

The Jiangyan District Police Department gave the couple criminal detention on February 15, 2023 and took them to the Taizhou City Detention Center.

Mr. Huang was released on bail four months later, and Ms. Guo was indicted by the Jiangyan District Procuratorate. Her family learned in late February 2024 that she was convicted by the Jiangyan District Court on January 3, 2024.
