(Minghui.org) A 66-year-old man in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, was admitted to the Beijiang Prison in that province on April 14, 2025 to serve a four-year prison sentence for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Mr. Huang Ruhong was arrested at his son’s home in Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong, on September 20, 2023. The police said that someone reported him for putting up adhesive stickers which had information about Falun Gong the night before.
Prosecutor Huang Jieying (no relation) and her assistant Kuang Yunqi of the Haizhu District Procuratorate indicted Mr. Huang and forwarded his case to the Haizhu District Court on March 14, 2024. He was tried on August 8, 2024, sentenced to four years and fined 5,000 yuan on October 29, 2024.
Mr. Huang appealed to the Guangzhou City Intermediate Court. Presiding judge Zhou Tianyue ruled on March 20, 2025, to uphold his original verdict without a hearing or informing his lawyer. He also accused Mr. Huang of being a “repeat offender” due to his previous prison and labor camp terms for practicing Falun Gong. Judges Chen Juntao and Tang Junguo, as well as court assistants Cao Zhongwei and Guo Siyun, also signed the ruling.
Prior to Mr. Huang’s latest sentence, he was given two years of forced labor on May 16, 2007, and sentenced to three and a half years with a 10,000-yuan fine following another arrest on July 17, 2017.
