(Minghui.org) A Changtu County, Liaoning Province resident was sentenced to one year with a 5,000-yuan fine in late 2024 for mailing letters exposing the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing persecution of his faith, Falun Gong.

Mr. Wu Bo and his wife were arrested by Tienan Police Station officers a little past 6 p.m. on July 11, 2024. The couple were targeted because they drove to Siping City, Jilin Province in November 2023 to mail out some Falun Gong informational letters to the public and their license plate was captured by surveillance cameras. 

The arresting officers turned over the case to their supervising agency, the Changtu County Police Department, which had the couple taken to the local Legal Education Center at around 6 p.m. on July 12, 2024. About two hours later, Mr. Wu was moved to the Changtu County Detention Center while his wife was released.

The police submitted the case to the Changtu County Procuratorate on July 15, 2024. The case was later returned for insufficient evidence. The police resubmitted the case on September 3. 

Mr. Wu stood trial at the Changtu County Court on November 8, 2024. Minghui.org confirmed in early January 2025 that he was convicted at an unknown time. It is unclear if he’s still held at the detention center or has already been taken to prison.
