(Minghui.org) An Emeishan City, Sichuan Province resident was sentenced to 3.5 years and fined 5,000 yuan on April 30, 2024 for her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Wang Ping’s ordeal stemmed from an arrest on April 12, 2022. The police raided her home and released her on bail. They harassed her on June 22 and threatened to ransack her residence if she didn’t sign the statement to renounce Falun Gong. It’s not clear whether she complied.
After Ms. Wang’s bail condition expired on April 12, 2023, the police put her under house arrest. Six months later on October 11, she was seized by two police officers, including one named Zhang Youxin, in her neighborhood. She was taken to the procuratorate and was told that she had been indicted.
Two officers, surnamed Chen and Lin, harassed Ms. Wang at home on February 12, 2024. They refused to reveal their first names or police ID numbers. They questioned her on whether she lived by herself, whether she walked or rode a bike when she went out and whether she had Falun Gong books at home. Ms. Wang only said that all of her Falun Gong books had been confiscated by the police.
Ms. Wang appeared in the Emeishan City Court on April 30, 2024 and was convicted.
