(Minghui.org) A woman in Hanchuan City, Hubei Province, was recently sentenced to three years and nine months for refusing to give up her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Shu Yunlan, 56, was arrested on September 14, 2022. Her arrest left her husband, who had become incapacitated due to a stroke, in dire straits. Her lawyer applied to the Hanchuan City Police Department on October 10 to release her on bail to take care of her husband, but the police never responded to him.
In mid-December 2022, Ms. Shu’s daughter got a call from the Xiaochang County Court and was told that the court had scheduled a virtual hearing to take place in one week. Due to the pandemic, Ms. Shu’s lawyer was unable to attend the hearing. Ms. Shu’s family didn’t attend the hearing, either.
When Ms. Shu’s daughter called the court on January 18, 2023, to inquire about her mother, she was told that Ms. Shu had been sentenced. The court has yet to send them a hard copy of her verdict.
Ms. Shu was arrested many times in the past. In 2008 she was sentenced to five years for distributing informational materials about Falun Gong.
