Amid claims of legal irregularities, two men got respectively seven and seven and a half years for keeping books of the banned movement in their homes.
The 61-year-old practitioner died two days after having been released in the care of her family. A co-religionist’s whereabouts remain unknown.
While the movement commemorates 25 years of persecution, a merciless repression continues.
Despite her health issues, Niu Xiaona was transferred from Harbin No. 2 Detention Center to the notorious “cemetery of Falun Gong ladies.”
Jiang Zhihui, a woman with a long history of persecution, has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
A Falun Gong practitioner denounces brutal torture in the jail where two of her co-religionists were persecuted to death this year.
Li Fenglan had breast cancer and Li Yuzhen may have suffered from some natural illness too. However, denial of adequate medical treatment combined with torture is a form of persecution to death.
Only six months after the incident it was confirmed that Xia Zhenglun died in Guanyun County in September 2023.
Figures include cases the movement became aware of in 2023. We regard them as believable.
