(Minghui.org) Three Huludao City, Liaoning Province, residents have been detained for a month because of their faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999.
Mr. Xing Jiaqiu, 50, and his wife Ms. Zhang Xiuying were arrested at home on June 9, 2025. Mr. Liu Yan was arrested as well when he went to visit the couple that night and answered, “Yes,” when the police asked him if Falun Gong was good.
On June 24, 2025, after 15 days of administrative detention at the Huludao City Lockup, the three were taken to the Huludao City Police Department’s Case Management Center for interrogation. The police revealed that they suspected Mr. Xing and Ms. Zhang of defacing a bulletin board that displayed information slandering Falun Gong.
Other officers raided Mr. Liu’s home when no one was around. They damaged the lock and broke in.
Mr. Liu and the couple were transferred to the Huludao City Detention Center after the interrogation. The police accused them of “provoking trouble” and did not let their lawyers visit them.
This was not the first time that Mr. Xing, a farmer, and his wife have been targeted for their faith, which they started to practice in 1996 and credit for giving them a happy life. Mr. Xing was previously arrested on May 28, 2002, and sentenced to 6 years in July of that year. He served time at the Nanshan Prison in Jinzhou City and later the Shenyang City Third Prison. He was brutally beaten in both prisons. See the first related report for details of his suffering.
The police attempted to arrest Mr. Xing again on February 25, 2012. Neither he nor his wife was home, so the police harassed their parents instead. The police then placed the couple on the wanted list and eventually arrested them on July 24, 2014. They were both sentenced on September 25, 2015, with Mr. Xing receiving 3.5 years and Ms. Zhang 3 years. See the second related report for details of the couple’s 2012-2014 persecution.
