(Minghui.org) A 51-year-old resident of Xiamen City, Fujian Province, was admitted to prison on July 18, 2024, for her faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999.

Ms. Wang Juxiang was arrested at around 9 a.m. on June 19, 2022. A group of officers from the Xiamen City Police Department, its subordinate Jimei District Police Department, and the Feng’an Police Station broke into her home and confiscated her laptop computer, several cell phones, and Falun Gong books.

The police held Ms. Wang at the Jimei District Police Department and released her under house arrest the next night. They took her back into custody on November 4, 2023 and put her on criminal detention. She was sentenced to three years and four months with an unknown fine weeks later that same year (exact time unknown). She was transferred to the Fujian Province Women’s Prison on July 18, 2024.

Ms. Wang took up Falun Gong in November 1998 and became a much better person as a result. She was a middle-school teacher, beloved by her students. After the persecution began in 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in late 2000, with her then three-month-old son in tow. She was arrested and taken back to Fujian. The police handed her over to her school for close surveillance.

Ms. Wang was arrested for writing Falun Gong messages in public places in July 2001. The police also discovered that she had talked to her students about Falun Gong. They sought to prosecute her, the result being a three-year prison sentence.
