(Minghui.org) A Dehui City, Jilin Province, resident, is now serving time at the Jilin Province Women’s Prison, Minghui.org recently learned.
Ms. Liu Zhongrong, a physician, was arrested on February 25, 2023, for her faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999. She was sentenced to two years in August 2023. It is unclear when she was transferred to prison from the Jiutai City Detention Center.
Fourteen other local Falun Gong practitioners were arrested on the same day as Ms. Liu. Four of them had also been wrongfully convicted for their faith. Mr. Zheng Yuming and Ms. Su Cuizhi each received seven years. Ms. Xie Yunxiang and Ms. Wang Guiying were sentenced to 5 years and 10 months, respectively.
Prior to her latest persecution, Ms. Liu was previously arrested three more times. One of the arrests took place on July 8, 2020, after a taxi driver reported her for talking to him about Falun Gong. She was released on bail two days later but was taken back into custody in one month. The Dehui City Court sentenced her to ten months in prison on April 4, 2021.
