2020–2021 probable earlier record
December 11, 2020 — Minghui.org: reports a 58-year-old Ms. Sun Qin arrested in Zhaodong on November 8, 2020 and transferred to Suihua City Detention Center. URL: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2020/12/11/188715.html
January 7, 2021 — Minghui.org: reports formal arrest of the same 58-year-old Ms. Sun Qin alongside Li Bairong. URL: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2021/1/7/189794.html

2023–2024
January 30, 2024 — Minghui.org: reports the September 4, 2023 mass arrest of more than 50 people, the November 20 trial, and November 28 sentencing by Anda City Court; Sun Qin received three years. URL: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2024/1/30/214510.html
November 11, 2024 — Minghui.org: one-year follow-up confirming the five sentences and reporting additional outcomes among people arrested in the same sweep. URL: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2024/11/11/221603.html
Provenance and limits
All case coverage located comes from Minghui.org, a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet. No PRC court judgment, procuratorate notice, established international-media report, or independent NGO report was located. A same-pinyin record, 孙芹 Sun Qin of Suihua, is a different-character record and is not merged with this person. The post-trial detention location and exact release date are unknown.
