Evidence limitations
The five-year sentence and December 2024 prison transfers come from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, a Falun Gong-affiliated advocacy organization, and remain attributed to it. Minghui corroborates the arrest, detention and reported hearing but not the sentence length. No public court document was located, the precise criminal charge is not established here, and Sun Jingna’s post-December-2024 prison location, health and release status are unknown.
