(Minghui.org) Ms. Gu Li, from Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was recently taken back into custody to serve a 3.5-year term for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Gu, a former head nurse at Jinzhou Second People’s Hospital, was arrested on April 28, 2023 by officers from the Guangming Police Station for talking to people about Falun Gong. She failed the required physical examination, but the Yaojia Detention Center still admitted her on April 30, 2023. Given her persistent medical conditions, the guards released her days later on May 9, 2023 and put her on house arrest for six months.
The police later submitted Ms. Gu’s case to the Pulandian District Procuratorate. Prosecutor Zhao Xiaona indicted her in February 2024 and judge Wang Dongdong of the Pulandian District Court was assigned to her case.
Judge Wang held two hearings for Ms. Gu’s case, first in February 2024 and then on March 11, 2024. The police harassed her in April 2024, while she was waiting for a verdict.
The police took Ms. Gu back into custody at the Yaojia Detention Center on February 17, 2025. Her family recently confirmed that she was sentenced to 3.5 years and fined 10,000 yuan. It’s not clear whether she remains at the detention center or has been transferred to the prison.
Prior to her latest persecution, Ms. Gu was arrested on December 6, 2016 and later sentenced to four years. She endured brutal torture and sexual assault at the Liaoning Province Women’s Prison. See the related report for the detailed account of how she was tortured in prison.
