(Minghui.org) A woman in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province was recently indicted for her faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since July 1999.
Ms. Song Ruixiang, 73, was arrested at a farmers’ market in Zhaoyuan County on September 8, 2025, after she was reported for talking to shoppers about the persecution of Falun Gong. She was soon admitted to the Daqing City Second Detention Center.
When Ms. Song’s lawyer visited her on October 14, she was in very low spirits. Her systolic blood pressure was over 200 mmHg (the normal level is 120 mmHg or lower). She also struggled with emphysema (damaged lung air sacs) and had difficulty breathing and walking.
Despite Ms. Song’s condition, the Ranghulu District Procuratorate still approved her arrest. Her case was later returned to the Zhaoyuan County Police Department for insufficient evidence.
The police re-submitted the case and the prosecutor indicted Ms. Song. The Ranghulu District Court received her case file on November 14, 2025. It is unclear whether a court date has been set.
Ms. Song took up Falun Gong in 1998. Her many ailments, including lumbar disc herniation, stomach disease, and uterine fibroids, soon disappeared. After the Chinese Communist Party ordered the persecution in 1999, she was arrested at least five other times and tortured while in custody. Her husband and younger brother, who also practiced Falun Gong, both passed away as a result of the persecution.
