(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhang Jianhua struggled with many ailments and had a very competitive personality in the past. After she took up Falun Gong, an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline, she regained health and changed into a peaceful person. Her family, neighbors and coworkers were all amazed by her changes.
Because Ms. Zhang upheld her faith after the Chinese communist regime ordered the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, she was arrested twice and sentenced to three years in prison. Her work was also impacted and she lost much income as a result.
Ms. Zhang, from Daxing’anling Prefecture, Heilongjiang Province, was first arrested on September 16, 2017 for talking to people about Falun Gong. She was detained for 15 days at the Jagdachi District Detention Center.
She was arrested again on August 6, 2021, after being followed by the police for talking to people about Falun Gong. The police confiscated her Falun Gong books and other personal belongings. Because her son stopped the police from seizing their cash kept at home, the police arrested him a few days later, charging him with “attacking the police.” It took her family a lot of effort to get him released.
Ms. Zhang was held at the Jagdachi District Detention Center and later sentenced to three years by the Jagdachi District Court. She was taken to the Heilongjiang Province Women’s Prison on June 16, 2022.
