Earlier prison terms

2017–2019 — arrest, prosecution and sentence
Minghui reports that Luan was arrested on August 27, 2017 after authorities investigated letters containing Falun Gong information. His case was returned at least once for insufficient evidence before proceeding to the Yinchuan Intermediate People’s Court.
After a February 14, 2019 hearing, the court sentenced Luan on April 16, 2019 to ten years and a 100,000-yuan fine. The regional high court upheld the verdict in July, and he was transferred to Shizuishan Prison on August 7.

2021–2025 — health and status reporting
Minghui reported a severe medical condition in 2021. USCIRF later listed Luan as “Not Released.” No current health condition is inferred from those dated reports.
Source variance
One Falun Dafa Information Center submission gives April 16, 2020 as the sentence date, while USCIRF and multiple Minghui records give April 16, 2019. The 2019 date is used in this archive. Sources also vary between “subverting state power” and “inciting subversion of state power” when rendering the charge.
Evidence limits
No PRC court judgment or official case notice was located. Historical treatment allegations remain attributed to the cited outlets. No release date or current health status is asserted.
