(Minghui.org) Police arrested Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Cui in Shenqiu County in He'nan province. They deceived her family into paying 150,000 yuan to keep her out of prison, but she was convicted and sentenced anyway. Even though Ms. Wang twice appeared to be near death and the Xinxiang Women's Prison refused to accept her, the Shenqiu Detention Center still would not release her.

On August 10, 2012, Lu Feng and seven other police from the Domestic Security Division of Shenqiu County broke into Ms. Wang's home and arrested her. They deceived her family into believing money could allow her to be released. Yet, when they handed over about 150,000 yuan to judicial authorities, she was still sentenced to seven years in prison. The family later could only get back 60,000 yuan from the procuratorate.

Just after she turned 30, Ms Wang's husband passed away. She raised her son alone amid many difficulties. Ms. Wang's son was severely shaken when his mother was imprisoned. On top of this, the police extorted a vast sum of money from the family, which caused an economic crisis for the Wang family. Because of this, Ms. Wang's son could not attend a university that he had already been admitted to. Now he can only make a living with a small business.

Ms. Wang was detained in Shenqiu Detention Center where she was forced to do slave labor. In February 2013, she showed signs of severe illness. Black and blue bruises appeared on her hands and feet. Because she refused to work, guards told other prisoners to verbally harass her.

On July 18, the Shenqiu Detention Center sent Ms. Wang to Xinxiang Women's Prison. Since she did not pass the physical exam, the prison would not accept her. The detention center would not release her and sent her back to the prison two days later. The prison again refused to accept her. Ms. Wang's son went to the detention center to ask for his mother's release. Authorities told him they would try to send Ms. Wang to the prison one more time. If the prison still did not accept her, she would be released.
