(Minghui.org) The Minghui.org website reported a total of 2,003 cases of Falun Gong practitioners arrested or harassed for their faith in the first half of 2025.

Due to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) strict information censorship, which often prevents Minghui correspondents from collecting and reporting the persecution in a timely manner, some of the reported incidents actually took place prior to 2025.

These 2,003 cases break down to 948 arrests and 1,055 cases of harassment. Among them, 446 practitioners had their homes ransacked, 20 were taken to brainwashing centers, 17 were forced to live away from home to avoid further persecution, and at least 20 practitioners had their pensions suspended.

In addition to the numbers of arrest and harassment, 76 persecution deaths and 430 sentencing cases were also confirmed in the first half of 2025.

Twenty-six years after launching the persecution of Falun Gong, the CCP has shown no sign of letting up on this ongoing suppression of law-abiding citizens. Every aspect of Falun Gong practitioners’ right to live a normal life has been affected, from landing a job, to dealing with animosity from their own family members who have been misled by the CCP propaganda, to facing the risk of having their organs harvested while in custody.

I. Overview of the Persecution

A. Persecution Cases All Across the Country

China has 22 provinces, 4 centrally controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and 5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Guangxi, Xinjiang, and Ningxia). Except for Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Guangxi, all other 27 jurisdictions reported arrests and harassment of Falun Gong practitioners.

In particular, Hebei, a province encircling Beijing, reported the most cases at 353, almost 5 times the national average of 74. The persecution in Shandong, Jilin and Liaoning was also severe, with 245, 218, and 211 cases reported, respectively. Three more regions registered three-digit cases. Another sixteen regions had double-digit cases and the remaining four regions had single-digit cases.

Group Arrests in Liaoning and Heilongjiang Province

Following orders from the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Bureau, the police in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, arrested at least 36 Falun Gong practitioners in Jinzhou and its subordinate counties on June 2 and 3, 2025. The police used various surveillance methods, such as installing location tracking devices on the practitioners’ private cars and electric bikes, and following them to monitor their daily activities, before conducting the arrests. Most of the practitioners were arrested at home. The oldest was 88 years old at the time of arrest.

Another police sweep was reported in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, on May 10, 2025, when more than 20 practitioners were arrested. All the practitioners’ homes were raided, and their Falun Gong books were confiscated. The police also seized other valuables, including designer clothes and heirlooms. Most of practitioners were interrogated, photographed and had their fingerprints collected against their will. After a physical examination, those who were deemed unfit for detention were released on bail and put under close surveillance, and the rest were taken to the local detention center.

It was apparent to the targeted practitioners that the police had been monitoring them for a long time before the mass arrest. The police were able to provide details of the practitioners’ daily activities, including the color of the clothes they wore on a particular day, and what places they visited and when. None of the officers produced a search warrant or revealed their identities during the arrests. Some gave fake names.

B. 397 Practitioners Older Than 60 Targeted

Among the 2,003 targeted practitioners, 397 were 60 or older, including 111 in their 60s, 186 in their 70s, 95 in their 80s, and 5 in their 90s.

Ms. Qu Xueying, nearly 70, of Bin County, Heilongjiang Province, was harassed at least eight times since August 2024. The officers attempted to force her to sign a statement to renounce Falun Gong, promising to approve her low-income subsidy application if she complied. In late March 2025, the police returned again and ordered Ms. Qu’s husband, who had been incapacitated for years, to sign certain documents. He refused and passed away the next day.

Ms. Zhou Shumin, an 84-year-old farmer in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province, was arrested on January 18, 2025, while she was talking to people about Falun Gong at a local fair. The police found her home address from their database of Falun Gong practitioners. Four officers raided her home and confiscated her Falun Gong books, informational materials, music player, DVDs, and other valuables. They also forced her children to sign some paperwork on her behalf by threatening to jeopardize their jobs. This is the 12th time that Ms. Zhou has been arrested since the CCP ordered the persecution of Falun Gong.

Ms. Jia Xiufang, around 70 and from Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, was arrested at home in early February 2025, after the police suspected her of putting up Falun Gong flyers. The police broke into Ms. Jia’s home and confiscated her Falun Gong books. Before they left, they warned her not to go out to put up Falun Gong informational materials again or they’d break her legs and beat her to death.

Despite Ms. Liao An’an’s ongoing health struggles, the police have continued to harass the 89-year-old Baiyin City, Gansu Province, resident, and attempted to take her into custody to serve a prison term of six years and nine months. During the latest harassment on March 6, 2025, when Ms. Liao tried to explain that she didn’t do anything wrong by practicing her faith, an officer said to her, “Don’t you know that you are a convicted criminal? How dare you still have such an attitude! I can put you in jail just because of that.” Ms. Liao is now under tremendous pressure and lives in fear.

C. Arrests and Harassment Throughout the Year, Especially Around Politically Sensitive Days

The CCP is known to intensify its harassment of Falun Gong practitioners ahead of major political meetings, or anniversaries related to Falun Gong, as a way to threaten them not to use these events as opportunities to raise awareness about the persecution. The 2025 Chinese New Year and the CCP’s annual political meetings in March have been no exception.

1) Harassment around the Chinese New Year

Ms. Yuan Hongying and her family, of Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, went to Harbin City in the same province on a Chinese New Year (January 29) holiday vacation. As they were waiting for their return train in Harbin on February 5, 2025, the police searched Ms. Yuan’s luggage, interrogated her and her daughter, and raided their respective homes in Qiqihar.

In Chongqing, Ms. Li Yunhui found herself being followed on January 15, 2025, when she went grocery shopping for the upcoming Chinese New Year. The same person followed her again for the next two days when she went to visit her family. One of the persons following her said that she just wanted to earn some money by doing this “monitoring” job. The police later installed surveillance cameras facing Ms. Li’s home—which she shared with her daughter Ms. Zhao Li, as well as her daughter’s tailor shop.

2) Harassment During the “Two Sessions”

In addition to being targeted around the Chinese New Year, more practitioners were harassed prior to the “Two Sessions,” the annual plenary sessions of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in Beijing on March 5-11, 2025. In both Beijing and Shanghai, some practitioners were monitored around the clock for weeks prior to and during the “Two Sessions.”

On the evening of February 14, 2025, a group of officers showed up at Mr. Wang Yu’s home in Beijing. As Mr. Wang wasn’t in, the police talked to his 93-year-old grandmother, also a Falun Gong practitioner, who was living with him. The police returned on February 17 and talked to Mr. Wang and his wife Ms. Guo Xiaoqing.

Ms. Cong Peixi of Shanghai reported that she was monitored around the clock between January 13 and 18, 2025. Only weeks later, her local police received another order to monitor her between February 5 and 14, 2025, while the 2025 Asian Winter Games was taking place in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province (nearly 1,500 miles from Shanghai). The authorities began to monitor her again shortly before the “Two Sessions” commenced on March 5.

3) Additional Harassment Cases

Besides the expected harassment prior to major political meetings, the police across the country have also targeted practitioners on their blacklist on a regular basis.

In Chengmai County, Hainan Province, a plainclothes officer went to Ms. He Ping’s home on the evening of February 8, 2025. He first spoke to Ms. He’s husband and then said they suspected his wife of distributing informational materials about Falun Gong. When Ms. He’s husband was pressured to provide evidence about the allegation, the officer called for reinforcement. As Ms. He refused to let them in, they claimed they were just there to do a house survey. In the end, they changed the narrative again, this time saying that Ms. He posted “inappropriate comments” online.

On March 7, one month after the incident, the police contacted Ms. He’s manager at work and said someone reported her for distributing Falun Gong materials and accused her of listening to radio programs from “foreign enemies.” Ms. He’s husband was also ordered to persuade her to renounce Falun Gong.

Around March 9, two poster boards with information that slandered Falun Gong appeared outside of Ms. He’s apartment. The poster boards were sponsored by the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and displayed a notice about rewards for the general public to report on Falun Gong practitioners. The notice stated that those who raise awareness about the persecution would be sentenced to prison. The police also warned Ms. He not to attempt to remove the poster boards.

II. Comprehensive Persecution Policy to Eradicate the Faith Group

After Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese communist regime, ordered the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, he mobilized the entire country, including law enforcement, procuratorates, courts, detention facilities, schools, and businesses, to carry out his eradication policy of Falun Gong practitioners: “Destroy them physically, ruin their reputation, and bankrupt them.”

Jiang set up the extralegal organization, the 610 Office, to work in tandem with the already-existing Political and Legal Affairs Committee (PLAC—also an extrajudicial agency) to implement his persecution policy. Both agencies were given the power to override the judicial system, and they resorted to excessive measures to ensure that the persecution penetrates all levels of government.

Over the past 26 years, Falun Gong practitioners have faced a full spectrum of persecution tactics, from verbal abuse to long-term incarceration or even killing. The CCP has pushed the entire society against the Falun Gong community, inciting hatred and discrimination, making every aspect of their lives difficult.

A. Outright Arrests

1) After 11.5 Years of Incarceration, 73-Year-Old Woman Arrested Again

Only three months after Ms. Xia Yilin finished serving a 4.5-year prison term on December 22, 2024, the 73-year-old Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, resident was arrested again on March 19, 2025, after the police saw the solemn declaration she published on Minghui.org to nullify a statement renouncing Falun Gong she made under pressure during a previous detention. She was admitted to a detention center despite her elevated blood pressure. Prior to this latest round of persecution, Ms. Xia has served three prison terms totaling 11.5 years.

2) After Eight Years of Incarceration and Losing Three Family Members, Ningxia Woman Arrested for the 7th Time for Practicing Falun Gong

Ms. Zhang Lifang, 65, from Guyuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, was arrested in Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia, on March 29, 2025, while visiting her daughter. This is the seventh time Ms. Zhang has been arrested since the onset of the persecution. She previously served three forced labor camp terms for a total of five years, and a three-year prison term.

In addition to Ms. Zhang’s ordeal, her three sisters and one niece were also targeted for practicing Falun Gong. Her oldest sister, Ms. Zhang Yufang, was tortured into disability in a labor camp and remains bedridden to this day. Ms. Zhang Yufang’s husband, Mr. Xu Yaozhen, died as a result of the persecution. Their daughter, Ms. Xu Yan, was sentenced to three years in prison. Ms. Zhang Lifang’s two other sisters, Ms. Zhang Shufang and Ms. Zhang Lanfang, also lost their lives to the persecution.

3) Arrested Together, Mother Forced to Take Blood Pressure Pills, Daughter Fired by Her Workplace

The police in Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province arrested Ms. Liu Ying and her daughter, Ms. Wang Jing, on January 20, 2025. As Ms. Liu was found to have high blood pressure, the police forced her to take various medicines, and her blood pressure continued to rise. Ms. Liu later found out that the reason the police were so eager to have her detained was because their supervisor threatened to deny all of their reimbursement requests for work-related expenses if they failed to detain her. After the mother and daughter were released after ten days of detention, Ms. Wang was dismayed to hear that her employer had fired her.

4) Violent Home Break-in

When the police in Longkou City, Shandong Province, tried to break into 76-year-old Mr. Yi Xiangyang’s home on March 5, 2025, they had a locksmith remove the peephole from the door and then insert a long metal stick through the opening. Mr. Yi and his wife were terrified, thinking it was a home intrusion by buglers. After a brief standoff, the police forcibly removed the lock and barged in. They searched every inch of the home, including the closets and drawers. Some of Mr. Yi’s Falun Gong informational materials and his three media players were confiscated. Several weeks later, Mr. Yi was sentenced to 5.5 years.

5) Retired Accountant Arrested for Reading Falun Gong Books

Ms. Guo Danxia, 79, a retired accountant in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, was reading the Falun Gong teachings with Ms. Zhang Lanhui at the latter’s home on the afternoon of May 16, 2025, when the police suddenly broke in and seized her. They said a surveillance camera recorded her distributing Falun Gong informational materials. This is Ms. Guo’s 11th arrest for her faith. She previously served three years and two months between March 18, 2020 and May 17, 2023. Before her prison sentence, Ms. Guo was sent to a psychiatric hospital in June 2020 and forced to take psychiatric drugs even though she was not mentally ill. She experienced shortness of breath and insomnia afterwards, and was often in a delirious state.

B. Physical Health and/or Life in Danger

1) 79-Year-Old Woman’s Abdominopelvic Cyst Relapses

Ms. Chi Fengying, a 79-year-old Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, resident, was arrested on October 22, 2024. The police made three attempts to detain her at a detention center, but failed each time due to her poor health. On December 26, 2024, the local procuratorate indicted Ms. Chi and moved her case to a court. The mental pressure from the persecution caused Ms. Chi’s abdominopelvic cyst to relapse. Her legs were also swollen and she had trouble eating or using the restroom. Despite her condition, the police not only continued to harass her, but also targeted her family as well.

2) Tortured and Force-Fed in Custody

Mr. Feng Guoqing, a 59-year-old resident of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, held a hunger strike for over 40 days at the Yichun City Detention Center following his arrest on December 4, 2024. The police stripped him naked, restrained him on a bed in a spread eagle position, and then force-fed him. He also had to relieve himself on the bed. Both his kidneys failed. After a court appearance on June 20, 2025, Mr. Feng was sentenced to six years.

3) 73-Year-Old Disabled Widow Experiences High Blood Pressure and Chest Tightness After Violent Arrest

Ms. Song Huilan, a 73-year-old Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province resident, was reading in bed when more than ten officers broke into her home with a master key on January 16, 2025. None of them produced their IDs or a search warrant. Without allowing the disabled woman to put on her prosthesis, jacket, or shoes, the police dragged her downstairs. Her shirt and bra were pulled up during the process, exposing her chest and back. Her pants were also pulled down to her thighs.

The police threw Ms. Song into the car without allowing her to adjust her clothing. Due to the freezing weather, she shivered non-stop, and the female officer in the car refused to help her pull her top down or her pants up. Upon arriving at the police station, she requested to use the restroom, but the police refused to help her, despite the fact that she was unable to walk on her own. She wet her pants as a result, yet the police still turned a blind eye to her plight.

When Ms. Song was denied admission to the local detention center due to dangerously high blood pressure, the doctor there injected her with an unknown medicine, which caused her to feel weak and experience tightness in her chest. She was released around 7 p.m., her body covered with bruises.

4) 89-Year-Old Heilongjiang Man Remains Hospitalized After Violent Arrest

Mr. Chen Hongrui, an 89-year-old resident of Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province, was deceived into opening his door for the police in late May 2025. Despite his advanced age and lack of mobility due to an injury to his left femur, the police dragged him to the police car, causing sharp pain in chis hest and back. After his release, Mr. Chen checked into a hospital and was found to have fractures in his spine.

5) 63-Year-Old Woman Goes into Shock Three Times in One Month

Ms. Meng Xianfang, 63, of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was found to have kidney failure and a systolic blood pressure of 280 mmHg (the normal range is 120 mmHg or lower), after her arrest on March 2, 2025. The local detention center forced her to take hypertension medications and admitted her. Despite her health issues, the guards forced Ms. Meng to do chores every day. Her health deteriorated and she went into shock three times in just one month. Because he sought her release, Ms. Meng’s brother, Mr. Meng Xianqi, nearly 70, was arrested on May 12, 2025, and detained for ten days.

6) Heilongjiang Woman Suffers Stroke in Custody and Faces Trial

Ms. Fu Yunping, a native of Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province, moved to Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, for work in 2024. She was arrested there on April 7, 2025, after being reported for talking to someone about Falun Gong. To collect more “evidence” against her, the police interrogated all of Ms. Fu’s coworkers at a hotel and demanded to know whether she had said anything about Falun Gong to them.

The local detention center called Ms. Fu’s family on June 19, saying that she had a stroke and was undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital. When her family visited her, she was unable to move one side of her body or talk. She was tied up in the bed and seemed to have a clear mind. The local court refused to released Ms. Fu on bail and is proceeding to prosecute her.

7) Lockup Guard Told Falun Gong Practitioners They Should “Donate” Their Organs

After Ms. Song Shuzhi and Ms. Liang Jin’e, of Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province, were taken to a lockup following their arrests on May 8, 2025, the guards urged them to donate their organs and sign the consent form.

C. Financial Devastation and Freezing Assets

In addition to arrests, detention, and torture, Falun Gong practitioners have also faced financial persecution. On top of the more common home ransackings, confiscation of personal items, and fines, some practitioners have had their salaries, pensions, stipends, or bonuses suspended. Some reported having their bank accounts or other private assets, such as residential property, frozen. Some were demoted or fired from their workplaces, or had their years of service wiped off the record. Some small business owners faced the risk of having their business licenses revoked or being unable to renew leases.

1) Pension Suspension

In Yingkou City, Liaoning Province, Ms. Zhu Ruimin, an 83-year-old retired elementary school teacher, has had her pension suspended since October 2014. As she was receiving 4,700 yuan every month before the suspension, the total loss is over 600,000 yuan, not including the annual cost-of-living increase of her pension.

2) Valuables Confiscated During Home Raids

The police in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, raided Ms. Zhou Lina’s home on April 14, 2024, and arrested her roommate, Ms. Meng Chunying, also a Falun Gong practitioner. While Ms. Zhou escaped arrest as she wasn’t in, her 115,000 yuan in cash and two Certificates of Deposit, for 50,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan, were seized by the police. The police haven’t returned the money to date.

Over 20 officers showed up at Ms. Du Likun’s home in Handan City, Hebei Province, around 11 p.m. on February 19, 2025. They broke in with the help of a locksmith. The police filled their cruiser with items confiscated from Ms. Du, including a computer, a printer, two boxes of cash, one box of jewelry, and a Certificate of Deposit for 230,000 yuan. They also confiscated two cars, and returned again on February 21 and took a bike.

3) Music Teacher’s Bonus Withheld

On January 6, 2025, Ms. He Yan, a music teacher in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, received a warning from the school leadership that she probably wouldn’t receive any bonus for the last quarter in 2024, because of her practicing Falun Gong, as well as her filing complaints against the police for arresting her and raiding her home in March 2023. Ms. He refused to withdraw her complaint despite pressure from the police, school leadership, and the education bureau. In retaliation, the school withheld her 20,000-yuan quarterly bonus on the payout day, January 9, 2025, and later, they withheld the scheduled pay raise on June 12, 2025.

4) Teachers Not Allowed to Teach

Also in Hubei Province, three practitioners working at Hubei University of Science and Technology, including Mr. Li Mincai, Mr. Zheng Shuanghua and Ms. Yan Qin, haven’t been allowed to teach classes since the spring semester in early 2025.

5) Bank Account Frozen

Ms. Tan Guangming, a 71-year-old resident of Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, returned home on January 22, 2025, after completing a six-year prison term for practicing Falun Gong, only to find that her bank account was still frozen by the trial court that convicted her. The crops she harvested before her arrest in January 2019 were covered with mold and the canola oil she extracted had long gone rancid. She now struggles to make a living.

D. Persecution Extended to Family Members

With the all-around persecution, practitioners’ family members also share the same pressure and sometimes became targets themselves.

1) Incapacitated Wife Left to Fend for Herself During Husband’s Arbitrary Detention

Mr. Wang Junheng, 76, of Yantai City, Shandong Province, was arrested around April 7, 2025, after being reported for talking to people about the persecution of Falun Gong. His wife, who has been incapacitated for years and relies on him, was left to fend for herself.

2) Mother Forced to Go into Hiding; Police Arrest Her Daughter Instead

When the police in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, attempted to arrest Ms. Zhao Xihua on December 23, 2024, her daughter, Ms. Xuan Shaojing, stood in front of the door and refused to allow the police inside. The police then forced Ms. Zhao’s husband, who had been held at the police station for six hours, to talk to his daughter on the phone. She still refused to budge, even after one of the officers pointed a gun at her forehead. The police left, only to arrest Ms. Xuan at work five days later and detain her with the charge of “obstructing enforcement of the law.” Ms. Zhao was forced to live away from home to avoid the persecution.

3) Father and Daughter Held at Airport for Eight Hours; Forced to Cancel Vacation Trip to Southeast Asia

Since the onset of the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Mr. Xu Xudong, of Shiyan City, Hubei Province, has served two five-year prison terms for his faith. His first term came shortly after his daughter was born. He was arrested again in 2013 when his daughter was 13. When he was released, his daughter was already 18. To improve his relationship with his daughter, he booked a trip to visit Southeast Asia in February 2025.

While passing the border inspection at the Pudong International Airport in Shanghai around 11:30 p.m. on February 2, 2025, Mr. Xu and his daughter were stopped and taken to a small room. They were held there until 7:42 a.m. the next day, watched by two officers all the time, and not allowed to talk to each other. The officers also interrogated them in detail as to why they were leaving China and how they booked the flight tickets. His daughter was hungry and cold during the eight-hour detention. She said later that this allowed her to have some idea of the ordeals her father has gone through all these years.

In addition, the police took away the father and daughter’s cell phones and called their families from their phones without their permission. As the flight and hotels were non-refundable, Mr. Xu lost several thousand yuan. He later called a police officer to complain about it. The officer responded that Mr. Xu was a key target and is not allowed to leave China under any circumstances.

E. Marginalized by Society and Family Members

After 26 years of persecution, the demonizing propaganda against Falun Gong has penetrated every corner of Chinese society, and hatred and resentment are deeply engraved in people’s minds. While some practitioners’ families still support them in upholding their faith, some practitioners’ own children have turned against them.

1) Shanghai Woman Forced to Divorce and Distanced by Daughter

After serving two prison terms totaling seven years and having her pension suspended, Ms. Xu Nixia, a 68-year-old Shanghai resident, was arrested again on May 13, 2025. After the persecution began, Ms. Xu was sentenced to four years and three years in 2006 and 2018, respectively. When she wasn’t detained, the police frequently harassed her and sometimes monitored her around the clock.

Fearing the persecution, Ms. Xu’s husband divorced her shortly after another home raid in April 2015. Her daughter also had a very bad attitude towards her. After Ms. Xu moved out of their home, the police kept harassing her and forced her to move several times. Even the landlord of the apartment that her father rented in 2014 evicted him due to pressure from the residential committee.

2) Retired Engineer Forced to Stay in Senior Center, Dies Months Later

Ms. Wu Chunru, a retired engineer in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, was forced to move to a senior center in late 2023. She asked to go home, but the senior center didn’t allow her to leave. Due to the mental distress of being displaced, Ms. Wu passed away in April 2024. She was in her 90s.

3) Misled by Hate Propaganda, Sons Send Mother to Senior Center After Her 7-Year Imprisonment and Threatens to Stop Covering the Cost

Influenced by the CCP’s hateful propaganda, Ms. Fan Shufen’s children strongly opposed her practicing Falun Gong. Her daughter-in-law threatened to divorce her son, her son tried to choke her, and they all blamed her for bringing shame to them. They often called her an “old political inmate” and beat her. After Ms. Fan was released in September 2024 from serving a seven-year term, her children sent her to a senior center and told the senior center’s owner to prevent Ms. Fan from meeting with other Falun Gong practitioners. They threatened to stop paying her expenses if she continues to practice Falun Gong.

4) 78-Year-Old Mother Imprisoned by Her Two Sons

In another case, a 78-year-old widowed mother in Rushan City, Shandong Province, was held in a secret location by her two sons around October 2024, and her communication with the outside world was cut off . Ms. Xun Peiying’s sons did so because they worried that her practicing of Falun Gong would affect one of their own sons’ application to the police academy. They also destroyed Ms. Xun’s copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong teachings.

5) Mother Sent to Psychiatric Hospital by Son and Daughter-in-Law

Ms. Zhang Shuping, of Yutian County, Hebei Province, was taken to a psychiatric hospital in April 2025 by her son and daughter-in-law, who were influenced by the propaganda and threatened by the police that if she continues to practice Falun Gong, their children wouldn’t be allowed to attend college or find a good job. [Editor’s note: As part of the persecution, many mentally healthy practitioners are taken to psychiatric hospitals and subjected to involuntary drug administration.]
