(Minghui.org) The family of a Linquan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, man recently confirmed that he had been secretly sentenced to 3.5 years for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Mr. Zhang Qiping, in his 70s, was arrested at home by over 40 plainclothes officers on February 18, 2024. They refused to produce their IDs or reveal their identities. They raided his home and confiscated his computer, printer, Falun Gong informational materials, and other personal items. His family later confirmed that the officers were from the Linquan County Domestic Security Division, Yangqiao Town Police Station, and township government.
Mr. Zhang was held at the Linquan County Detention Center and denied family visitation. The police forced his son to report to them every day.
Mr. Zhang’s family recently learned of his wrongful conviction and admission to Suzhou Prison, but they still don’t know anything about his indictment, trial, or sentencing.
