Hu Yurong (胡玉蓉) is a former teacher from Qu County, Sichuan Province and a Falun Gong practitioner. Minghui reporting documents repeated detention since 1999 and a seven-year sentence learned by her family in 2024.
Earlier detention history
Minghui reports forced-labor detention beginning in 1999, a five-year sentence in Lhasa beginning in 2001, further arrests in 2007–2008, and another seven-year sentence imposed by the Qu County Court on August 23, 2011. Allegations of forced labor, injections, force-feeding and other mistreatment remain source-attributed.
2020 arrest and later sentence
Minghui reports that Hu was arrested on April 24, 2020 by Qu County authorities, held initially at the Qu County Detention Center and then transferred to the Dazhou Legal Education and Study Center. A February 2024 report states that her family learned in late January 2024 that she had been sentenced to another seven years and was held at Chengdu Women’s Prison.
Status and evidence limits
The exact indictment, trial and sentencing dates for the latest term were not known to the family in the cited reporting. Rights Defense Network Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists Hu in the seven-year-sentence group. No sentence end date is calculated, and no post-August-2026 status is inferred.
