Qin Shuhai is a Falun Gong practitioner from Yi County, Jinzhou, Liaoning, reported by Minghui to have received a three-year prison sentence in April 2024.
According to Minghui, Qin was arrested at home on January 18, 2024 after authorities alleged that he had distributed Falun Gong informational materials and calendars in October 2023. He was held at the Yi County Detention Center.
Minghui further reported that Qin suffered a stroke in custody on April 3, 2024 and was tried by the Linghai City Court on April 12, 2024 before being sentenced to three years. The same reporting states that his wife died on February 13, 2024 while he was detained.
Evidence limits
The case record located for this profile comes from a single reporting lineage, Minghui, a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet. No public court judgment, official statement, or independent media corroboration was located. Qin Shuhai’s Chinese characters are unconfirmed and are intentionally omitted. One Minghui compilation gives “January 2023” for the arrest, while the detailed report and case chronology place it on January 18, 2024; the archive records that discrepancy.
