By July 2024, when he left prison, he was 72 years old. She was held in the second women ' s prison in Liaoning province for the previous five years; The husband suffers from stomach and pancreas cancer and is unable to provide for himself. For the Shenyang family, five years is not just a term of imprisonment, but a time when a sick husband loses care and a wife is unable to accompany her family.

Just two years later, Ryu Su-feng lost his freedom. Ming Hui, a 74-year-old resident of Shenyang City, who was found to have lost contact in mid-September 2026, was reported to have been detained in Shenyang City Detention Centre No.

  1. The exact date, enforcement unit, legal basis and state of health of the person taken were not fully publicly recorded.

Her name is also written in the same way: Ryusophen. Ming Hui reported that she was about 1 metre tall and had begun to practice Falun Gong in 1996, and that her family had described her husband as very dedicated to caring for her brain hemorrhage. Such details of life are a reminder that the long record of detention is first and foremost a person who has cared for the elderly and who needs to be cared for.

She's been in detention for over 20 years and she's been cut to pieces

In November 2000, Ryu Suo-Fen was admitted to the Shenyang Lung Mountain Correctional Facility. In December, she was re-trained for three more years and transferred to the Ma's three correctional facilities. In November 2004, she was re-retrenched for a year and nine months after she distributed information on Falun Gong on Shen Yang Street. According to the calendar year of Ming Hui Network, she was handcuffed, beaten and prolonged detention for refusing to renounce her beliefs.

On 21 April 2006, it was reported that she had been thrown to the iron bed by Liu Yong, a correctional staff member at the time, and kicked and beaten by many; On 16 May, Marji hill and its subordinates were accused of using a mouth-opener to force her to open her mouth, causing mouth bleeding and swelling. The details above are publicly available as victim channels and have not been found in the conclusions of the independent judicial inquiry, but the date, function and specific means identified therein constitute a line of responsibility to be pursued, and cannot be erased by a “historical problem”.

In 2009, she was taken again by the police while waiting for her car at the station. In August 2013, she was taken away for having introduced her beliefs to a travelling person and subsequently sentenced to three and a half years. On 2 August 2019, Ryu Soo-Feng was again detained and subsequently sentenced to five years ' imprisonment. The repeated re-education through labour and the cumulative sentences have resulted in her being deprived of her liberty for more than 14 and a half years.

2021, 2024, home

While serving their sentence at Liaoning Province ' s Second Women ' s Prison, Ming Hui reported a severe beating in June 2021: Long Soo-feng was over 50 pounds weight, beaten for a long time by fellow inmates, fainted several times and could not get up the following day. In April 2022, she was beaten again for refusing to cooperate in the production of video critical of Falun Gong. Prison personnel have a responsibility to protect the physical security of detainees; Even if the perpetrator is a other person serving a sentence, the latter cannot relieve the supervisory authority of its responsibility.

In July 2024, she ended her five-year term of imprisonment and returned home. During her previous severe illness, she had missed a great deal of days when she could have taken care of him at home. This is not a loss that can be measured by the mere calculation of the sentence. Imprisonment extends from a person ' s body to the family, changes care relationships and deprives relatives of the opportunity to live together.

In mid-September 2026, she was again lost. Public information about detention notices, specific charges and access to a lawyer remains lacking in this incident. For an elderly person aged 74, society needs to know first of all whether she has access to timely medical care, family contact, independent legal aid.

The story of Ryu Su-feng does not need to end with a broad slogan. It left behind a very specific fact: She returned to her home in July 2024 and was placed in a detention facility in September

  1. A person who has taken care of his parents in his youth and has been in his seven-month life is still facing the State ' s coercive power because of his faith; This is the harsh reality of the long-term suppression of freedom of belief in China.
