(Minghui.org) The Huadian City Domestic Security Office in Jilin Province claimed they would take an 87-year-old local woman for a physical exam on July 8, 2026, instead they took her to the Jilin Province Women’s Prison that day to serve a term—the length is not known.

Ms. Quan Jinzi was targeted because she holds firm to her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party since July 1999. She was previously arrested on April 29, 2020, after being reported for distributing Falun Gong informational materials. She was soon released on bail but was frequently harassed by the police. They also threatened her daughter to keep a close eye on her. The younger woman was so terrified that she developed a medical condition as a result.

It is unclear when Ms. Quan was indicted, tried, or sentenced. Neither she nor her family was ever notified of her exact prison sentence. She asked the local police for a copy of her verdict, only to be fined 5,000 yuan by the Jilin City Procuratorate in 2025. Jilin City oversees Huadian City.

The procuratorate threatened to freeze all her bank accounts if she failed to pay the fine. They knew the exact amounts she had in her bank accounts. She had no choice but had to pay 5,000 yuan.

Ms. Quan was forced to undergo physical exams multiple times in 2026. The police first took her to the Xiehe Hospital in Huadian City but then claimed that the higher-ups “didn’t trust the exam results.” They drove her to the Jilin City Hospital but the higher-ups still “questioned the exam results.”

An official in Huadian insisted that Ms. Quan “be put in jail,” a police officer said.

In May 2026, the police demanded 500 yuan when Ms. Quan asked for her verdict again. On July 8, several officers came to her home and said they needed to take her to a hospital in Changchun (the capital city of Jilin Province) for another physical exam. Instead put her in the Jilin Province Women’s Prison that day.

Ms. Quan’s family wasn’t told she was sent straight to prison. They only found out about it from an insider.
