Minghui (English edition), July 9, 2026 — “84-Year-Old Woman Admitted to Prison to Complete a 2.5-Year Term for Practicing Falun Gong”
https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2026/7/9/235017.html
The English-language counterpart, naming “Ms. Wang Yanfeng” — the bilingual pairing with the Chinese report. It confirms: the 84-year-old Dalian woman’s admission to the Liaoning Province Women’s Prison on June 23, 2026; the November 9, 2020 arrest while distributing materials; release on bail hours later for health reasons; the two-and-a-half-year sentence and 5,000-yuan fine; the year under residential surveillance; the March 2026 detention-center episode; the April 30, 2026 re-arrest; and the police claim of a year and a half remaining on the term. Published by a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; case facts are the outlet’s reporting, not court-verified findings.
2026 — Prisoner roster placement
Rights Defense Network (维权网), monthly mainland prisoner report, Issue 131, August 31, 2026
Wang Yanfeng (王彦风) is listed in the report’s “Sentences of 2 years and 6 months, 30 people” band (判刑2年6个月，30人), at position 29 of the English edition (matching the ZH order). The band placement corroborates the two-and-a-half-year sentence and is the documentary basis for fixing the Chinese characters of the roster entry. The report provides no further case detail for her.
Gaps and limitations
No court verdict, indictment, or other primary legal document for this case is publicly available. The sentencing date and the court that sentenced Ms. Wang are not directly documented in the sources read. The ZH and EN reports give inconsistent ages (84 in both editions’ headlines; the ZH body says 78 at the March 2026 re-detention). No state-media or official coverage was found. No international NGO (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, CHRD) or the CECC political prisoner database carries a dedicated entry for this Wang Yanfeng. All case facts rest on Minghui’s reporting, corroborated between its two editions four days apart.
