(Minghui.org) A 72-year-old woman in Shouguang City, Shandong Province, was recently admitted to prison to serve a two-year term for her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Wang Guirong was arrested at home on July 22, 2019. Her Falun Gong books, computer, and cell phone were confiscated. She and her husband were then taken to the Gongye District Police Station for interrogation. The police forcibly took photos of Ms. Wang and collected her fingerprints. Her husband was released soon after, while she was taken to the Weifang City Detention Center. Due to her physical condition, she was denied admission and released around midnight.
A few days later, three officers from the Gongye District Police Station arrested Ms. Wang’s son, who didn’t practice Falun Gong. They ordered him to sign Ms. Wang’s bail release notice and the list of items confiscated from her. He refused to sign initially, but caved in after the police threatened to arrest his wife and son.
Officers from the Shouguang City Domestic Security Office broke into Ms. Wang’s home on February 28, 2023. They searched her place and took her to the Domestic Security Office. She was released in the evening. To avoid further persecution, she was forced to live away from home.
The Shouguang City Court scheduled a hearing of Ms. Wang’s case for June 3, 2024. When the authorities couldn’t find her in May 2024, they harassed her family.
Ms. Wang was arrested on September 18, 2025, by officers from the Shouguang City Domestic Security Office. Minghui.org recently confirmed that she was admitted to the Shandong Province Women’s Prison on February 5, 2026, to serve a two-year term, but details about her indictment, trial, and sentencing aren’t clear.
In addition to the above-mentioned persecution, Ms. Wang has been repeatedly targeted since 1999. She survived relentless torture while in custody and served a three-year prison term between 2003 and 2006. See the related report for details on her earlier persecution.
