(Minghui.org) A 74-year-old woman in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, is facing trial on February 4, 2026, for her faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Chen Yanwei began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Her severe heart condition, unstable blood pressure, rheumatism, and vascular headaches soon disappeared.
About five officers from the Dongan District Police Department broke into Ms. Chen’s home on October 29, 2025, and took her to the Jiangnandiyi Police Station for interrogation. The two family members who accompanied her had their cell phones confiscated for “inspection.”
After she was interrogated Ms. Chen was taken to the Daqing Police Station. At 2 p.m., she was driven to the Mudanjiang City Police Department’s Case Management Center for further questioning. Two hours later she was taken back to the Daqing Police Station and had her fingerprints, gait, blood samples, and iris scans collected. After that, she was taken to the Railway Hospital for a physical exam. Her systolic blood pressure registered at 180 mmHg (a normal range is 120 mmHg or lower), and her heart and urine test results were also abnormal. Despite her compromised health, the police took Ms. Chen to a detention center.
The Daqing Police Station soon submitted Ms. Chen’s case to the Aimin District Procuratorate, which approved her arrest and indicted her.
The Aimin District Court held a pre-trial meeting of Ms. Chen’s case on January 20, 2026. She was scheduled to stand trial on February 4.
