(Minghui.org) The case against a Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, resident for her faith in Falun Gong was recently dismissed by a local court.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Ji Guizhen, in her 70s, was arrested at home by a group of officers from the Loufeng Police Station on September 23, 2019. While several officers restrained Ms. Ji and videotaped her, the others searched her place and confiscated her computer, printer, Falun Gong books, and related materials. The 500 yuan cash in her purse was also taken away.
The officers ordered Ms. Ji to go with them to the police station. When she refused to comply, four officers carried her into the police van and took her away.
Ms. Ji was interrogated about having put up information about Falun Gong in a local neighborhood. She didn’t provide any information but said to the police that she was hoping they could get to know the facts about Falun Gong and not participate in the persecution.
The police forced Ms. Ji to press her fingerprints on some documents. They held her at the police station until 8 p.m. and released her on bail.
One month later, the police brought Ms. Ji to the Wujiang Procuratorate to meet with prosecutor Zhang Neng. Only then did Ms. Ji realize that the police had submitted her case to the prosecutor. She never heard back from prosecutor Zhang after that.
Around mid-March 2020, Ms. Ji received a letter from the Wujiang District Court, saying that “due to an unforeseen reason, the judge wouldn’t be able to hear the case for a long time,” so they’d decided to dismiss it.
