(Minghui.org) An 84-year-old woman in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was admitted to the Liaoning Province Women’s Prison on June 23, 2026, because she practices Falun Gong.
The ordeal of Ms. Wang Yanfeng stemmed from her arrest on November 9, 2020, while she was distributing materials that exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing persecution of Falun Gong.
Due to health reasons, Ms. Wang was released on bail hours later. She was sentenced to two and a half years and fined 5,000 yuan. After she was sentenced, she was taken to the Dalian City Hospital for a physical exam but was sent home afterward.
Officers from the Huajia Town Police Station took Ms. Wang for physical exams multiple times in the next few years. The most recent episode happened in March 2026, when she was sent to the Dalian City Detention Center after the checkup.
The police released Ms. Wang after some time, only to take her back into custody on April 30, 2026. Her husband returned home that morning to see a woman dragging his wife towards a police cruiser. Ms. Wang was only wearing her undergarments and slippers. Several male officers waited in the car as their female colleague dragged Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang’s husband condemned the police for kidnapping his wife. A male officer said, “We’re taking her to do something. She doesn’t seem to be in good health, and we may bring her back this evening.”
A wheeled stretcher was seen next to the cruiser. They didn’t say where they were taking her or exactly what they they wanted her to do, nor did they produce an arrest warrant.
Instead of being released that night, Ms. Wang was taken to the Dalian City Detention Center. Her husband was only allowed to see her once. A guard wheeled her out to the meeting room and said that she had high blood pressure and mobility issues.
On June 23, 2026, Ms. Wang was admitted to the Liaoning Province Women’s Prison despite her condition. The police claimed that she still had a year and a half left to finish her term, given that she had been under residential surveillance for a year.
