(Minghui.org) A man in Changtu County, Liaoning Province, was taken to the Kangjiashan Prison on May 26, 2026, to serve a 1.5-year term because he practices Falun Gong.
Mr. Song Fuyuan used to suffer from many severe ailments, including high blood pressure and problems with his heart, kidneys, and digestive system. After his younger brother died of kidney failure, he was worried he’d face the same fate. He learned about Falun Gong’s health benefits and began practicing despite the ongoing persecution. He soon regained his health. He was grateful and told people the truth about the persecution.
On November 21, 2025, officers from the Jinjia Town Police Station broke into Mr. Song’s home and searched it. He was home alone and was terrified. He fainted and wet his pants due to incontinence. The police took him to the Jinjia Town Hospital to be resuscitated. As soon as he regained consciousness in the hospital, the police made the ambulance to take him to the Changtu County Detention Center. Despite his condition, the guards admitted him. They also beat him and accused him of faking an illness.
The police later submitted Mr. Song’s case to the Changtu County Procuratorate. Prosecutor Huang Dongxue indicted him shortly after.
Mr. Song appeared in the Changtu County Court on March 4, 2026. The hearing was presided over by judge Wang Ning. Prosecutors Cui Haoyan and Chen Dan attended the session on behalf of Huang. They claimed that Huang “was ill” when the defense lawyer questioned why she was absent.
Cui and Chen questioned Mr. Song whether he acknowledged his signature on the “Plea of Guilty and Acceptance of Punishment” document. He said he was forced by the police to sign it. Judge Wang threatened to sentence him to three to five years if he didn’t plead guilty.
Mr. Song’s lawyer entered a not guilty plea for him. Mr. Song explained why he practiced Falun Gong and distributed materials to tell people about it.
Judge Wang sentenced Mr. Song to one and a half years on March 31, 2026. He was admitted to Section Two of the Third Division in Kangjiashan Prison in Shenyang (the capital city of Liaoning Province) on May 26. He has been forced to do hard labor on a regular basis.
