A resident of Wuhan City, Hubei Province, was released from prison in April 2021 after serving a two-year term for telling people about Falun Gong, a spiritual and meditation practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Qian Youyun’s latest prison term for upholding her faith in Falun Gong was preceded by a three-year prison term given in 2000, a one-and-a-half-year labor camp term in 2003, and a four-year prison term given in 2004.

Ms. Qian was repeatedly tortured during her incarceration. She was handcuffed and hung up for over a month, put into solitary confinement for over two weeks, forced to stand for long periods of time, deprived of food and sleep, and not allowed to use the toilet. The mental and physical torture made her emaciated and mentally disorientated at times.

In addition to the prison terms, Ms. Qian has been held in detention centers, forced labor camps, and brainwashing centers, sometimes shortly after being released from prison. The following is some of the persecution she has suffered.
