(Minghui.org) Ms. Liu Juhua, 78, a retired teacher in Huanggang City, Hubei Province, was arrested on August 25, 2025, because she practices Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been targeted by the Chinese Communist Party since 1999.
Ms. Liu was put in criminal detention the next day and her arrest was approved on September 9. She is now facing indictment after the police submitted her case to the Wuxue City Procuratorate. Wuxue City is under the jurisdiction of Huanggang.
Ms. Liu was the Director of the Teaching and Research Department of the Chibi Education Group of the Huangzhou District. She published dozens of academic papers and won many awards. In March 1997, after her daughter was diagnosed with congenital heart disease and patellar subluxation that led to leg muscle atrophy, she discovered Falun Gong while looking for exercises to improve her health. After witnessing her daughter’s speedy recovery after learning Falun Gong, she was surprised to find her own cervical and lumbar problem and uterine cancer disappeared within months.
After the Chinese Communist Party ordered the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Liu was arrested at least seven times. She was given two 1.5 year and one 2 year labor camp terms. She also served a 4 year prison term. She was subjected to brutal torture while serving time at the Shayang Forced Labor Camp, the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp, and the Hubei Province Women’s Prison. She suffered two mental breakdowns and almost died.
In addition to being incarcerated, Ms. Liu was also subjected to financial persecution by having her pension suspended. She was under long term surveillance and harassed during major holidays or political events. Her daughter was forced by the school administration to drop out of college in her junior year. Ms. Liu’s mother was so traumatized that she stopped eating and passed away in 2013.
