Teacher Sentenced to Three Years for Her Faith

After a year of incommunicado detention, Ms. Tang Suqiong, an elementary school teacher in Suining City, Sichuan Province was secretly sentenced to three years for practicing Falun Gong.

The 47-year-old was arrested at home on September 22, 2020, by local police and residential committee staff members. The police confiscated her Falun Gong books, computer, printer and other personal belongings. She was briefly held at the Pengxi County Lockup and was released on the same day when her family went there to demand her release.

Tang was arrested again on October 5 after being reported by a student’s parents for talking to them about Falun Gong. She was later sentenced to one year in prison and ordered to serve time out of prison.

She went missing again on November 23, 2020. Fearing possible implications, her husband divorced her shortly thereafter.

On October 20, 2021, after being kept in the dark of her whereabouts for a year, Tang’s brother finally learned that she was held at the Yongxing Detention Center. He went there to look for her, only to be told that she had been transferred to the Sichuan Province Women’s Prison in Chengdu City a month earlier to serve a three-year term.
