Lin Yongxia (林永霞) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Mishan City, Jixi, Heilongjiang Province. Monitoring records report that she was sentenced to four years and six months in prison after a February 2023 arrest.
According to Minghui, Lin was arrested on August 10, 2017 with three other practitioners while distributing Falun Gong materials in Mishan City. The report states that she was questioned by Mishan City Domestic Security Division officers and taken to the Dongshan Detention Center.
Minghui later reported that on February 28, 2023, officers from the Mishan City Domestic Security Division arrested Lin again when she returned home and searched the residence, confiscating Falun Gong books, printed materials, and personal items.
The Prisoners of Conscience Data database records Lin as female, born in December 1961, and reports a sentence of four years and six months with a term running to August 27, 2027. The database did not identify the formal charge or detention facility.
Status: reported serving a prison term, last case-specific verification August–September 2023. No more recent case-specific confirmation was located; no current facility is inferred.
Identity safeguard: a separate “Lin Yongxia” reported in Botou, Hebei, in 2010 is treated as a different person because the geography and case anchors do not match.
