A woman in Siping City, Jilin Province passed away on September 24, 2026, only 40 days after being released from serving a seven-year prison term for practicing Falun Gong. She was approximately 60 years old.
Ms. Zhang Shaoping was arrested on August 15, 2019, during a police sweep. She appeared in the Lishu County Court on September 28, 2020, and was sentenced to a seven-year prison term on February 26, 2021. She was transferred from the Siping City Detention Center to Jilin Province Women’s Prison on May 27, 2021.
Another practitioner, Ms. Fu Guihua, who was arrested and sentenced together with Ms. Zhang, was tortured to death in the prison on July 25, 2021, less than two months after her prison admission.
Ms. Zhang was released on August 14, 2026, and suddenly died on September 24. It’s unclear what torture she suffered in the prison.
Ms. Zhang took up Falun Gong in 1997. After the Chinese Communist Party ordered the persecution in 1999, she was given two labor camp terms totaling two years. She was frequently beaten while serving time at the Heizuizi Women’s Forced Labor Camp.
