(Minghui.org) A 71-year-old woman in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, was admitted to the Shanxi Province Women’s Prison on June 6, 2026, to serve a three-year term given in 2020. She is now in serious condition.
Ms. Gao Jiping was originally arrested on September 7, 2019, for her faith in Falun Gong. She was released on bail ten days later due to poor health. The Wanbailin District Court sentenced her to three years on September 23, 2020. Due to her high blood pressure, severe anemia, and uremia, however, she was denied admission to the Taiyuan City Fourth Detention Center five times. Using their connections, the police succeeded on their sixth attempt on March 4, 2026.
Ms. Gao was transferred to the Shanxi Province Women’s Prison on June 6. She was first held in the “strict management” team and then transferred to the Eighth Division in July. The guards kept ordering her to renounce Falun Gong. She has also been denied visits with her family.
Minghui.org recently confirmed that Ms. Gao’s health continued to deteriorate in the prison. On August 5, she was admitted to the Shanxi Province 109 Hospital. The doctor revealed that she had late stage uremia; she needed fistula surgery and dialysis treatment immediately. It is unclear whether she was given the recommended treatment.
