(Minghui.org) An 80-year-old woman in Xinyang City, Henan Province, is suffering from high blood pressure, hearing loss, and swelling in her legs and feet while serving time in Xinxiang Women’s Prison for practicing Falun Gong.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Bai Yuzhen was arrested at home on June 22, 2021. She was tried on December 14, 2021, and was sentenced to three years. She appealed to the Xinyang City Intermediate Court, which ruled to uphold the original verdict on June 15, 2022.

Ms. Bai was transferred from the Xinyang City Detention Center to Xinxiang Women’s Prison in early January 2023. Her family was notified of the transfer a day later. They were allowed to visit her a few days after that.

The prison notified Ms. Bai’s family of her medical conditions recently and said that the family would have to foot the bill themselves if they wanted her to get any medical attention.
