Select Death and Sentencing Cases

Case 1: Arrested for Their Faith, 68-Year-Old Sister Dies One Month Later, 80-Year-Old Brother Faces Indictment

Ms. Wang Yuying, of Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province, died one month after she was arrested for practicing Falun Gong. She was 68 years old.

Ms. Wang, her brother, Mr. Wang Jianying, 80, and Ms. Kong Qingzhi, around 50, were arrested at their respective homes on August 7, 2024, by officers from the Fanjiatun Township Police Station. Their Falun Gong books and photos of the founder of Falun Gong were confiscated. While Ms. Kong was released five days later, the Wang siblings were transferred to the Gongzhuling City Detention Center after spending 15 days in the Gongzhuling City Lockup.

According to an insider, Ms. Wang began to experience mobility issues in the detention center and the guards assigned an inmate to care for her. She suddenly collapsed one day and someone caught her before she hit the ground. She died in the detention center on the evening of September 18.

After Ms. Wang’s death, the authorities offered her family 30,000 yuan in exchange for their silence regarding her suspicious passing. Her loved ones consulted a lawyer and were told that no one could help them win a lawsuit, as the police would block all channels if they tried to collect evidence. It’s unclear whether the family accepted the hush-money offer.

The police submitted Mr. Wang’s case to the local procuratorate, so he is now facing indictment. He was released around September 26 and wasn’t allowed to leave home. The police have harassed him several times since then.

Case 2: 76-Year-Old Man Dies in Prison

Mr. Wang Ligong, a 76-year-old man in Changchun City, Jilin Province, died around November 2024, while serving an unknown term at Gongzhuling Prison for refusing to give up his faith in Falun Gong.

An insider revealed that he had severe constipation in November 2024 and was given enemas several times in the prison hospital. He was then moved to the division for the elderly and infirm, where he had a brain hemorrhage and died in the prison hospital.

Case 3: Jilin Man Dies 21 Days After Being Released on Bail, Posthumously Threatened with 3-Year Prison Sentence

A detention center guard notified his family on June 20, 2024, that he’d vomited and lost consciousness that day and was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction. His family asked to visit him but were turned down. When the detention center found out that Mr. Tian also had bile duct cancer eight days later, they told his family to apply for his release on bail.

It took several days to process the required paperwork, and by the time Mr. Tian was released on bail on July 3, 2024, he was so weak that he could not walk without assistance. He died 21 days later. The Chaoyang District Court went so far as to send a threat to sentence Mr. Tian to three years after he died.

Mr. Wu Qingyuan, 72, from Changchun City, was arrested at his home on February 29, 2024. He was later sentenced to five and a half years with a 20,000-yuan fine by the Kuancheng District Court. He was admitted to the Gongzhuling Prison in September 2024 to serve time.

Select Cases of Severe Persecution

Case 1: 76-year-old Woman Dies Two Weeks After Repeated Harassment

In June 2021, one month before the Chinese Communist Party’s centennial anniversary of its founding, the police in Yongji County, Jilin Province, began to harass Ms. Wang Guiying at home. As she refused to open the door for them, the police often stayed outside her home to monitor her.

On July 20, 2021, the 22nd anniversary of the onset of the persecution of Falun Gong, the police broke into Ms. Wang’s home and confiscated her Falun Gong books, informational materials, and printers.

While the police were ransacking her home, Ms. Wang, who lived on her own after her husband passed away, suffered a heart condition. She called her daughter for help. After her daughter arrived, the police took a photo of her and ordered her to sign a statement to renounce Falun Gong on Ms. Wang’s behalf. They also attempted to bring Ms. Wang to the police station for interrogation.

Ms. Wang’s daughter said to the police that they could take her away, but they would be responsible if she suffered any other medical condition while in custody.

Although the police gave up on arresting Ms. Wang, fearing responsibility for her health, they stayed and interrogated her, demanding information about other practitioners. Ms. Wang refused to answer any questions.

Ms. Wang moved to her daughter’s home after the police left. Several officers who refused to identify themselves called her and her daughter every day to harass them. Ms. Wang’s health quickly deteriorated and she passed away on August 6, 2021.

Case 2: Jilin Woman Sentenced to Prison Six Months after Persecution Death of Husband

Two months after Ms. Chen Qinglan was arrested for her faith in Falun Gong, her husband passed away, after enduring two decades of mental distress due to the persecution of their shared faith. While still mourning her husband’s passing, Ms. Chen was sentenced to three years with a 3,000-yuan fine four months later, in early April 2023.

Ms. Chen, 70, of Shulan City, Jilin Province, was arrested on August 23, 2022, after several rounds of harassment in the months prior. The police searched everywhere in her home, even under the beds. They confiscated two of her Falun Gong books and several paper currency bills with short messages about Falun Gong printed on them (used to raise awareness about the persecution due to the strict censorship in China).

The harassment and home-ransacking further upset her husband, Mr. Meng Xiangfu, who already had trouble walking and talking due to the distress of the suspension of his pension since 2020. His health quickly declined and he passed away on October 24, 2022. Ms. Chen wasn’t allowed to attend his funeral.

Torture illustration: inserting a lit cigarette into the nose

After the police force-fed wasabi water into her nose and inserted lit cigarettes into her nose, the police then began to sexually assault her. They lifted her shirt. The torture expert then ordered the police to touch her chest. After the police did it, the expert then used a special massager to stimulate her chest. Next, the expert forced Ms. Jiang to take off her pants. When her pants were halfway down, the police found she was menstruating. The expert claimed that the torture had the best effect during menstruation and ordered the police to continue. Ms. Jiang almost collapsed from the pain and trauma.
