(Opened and read in full: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2004/12/22/55829.html). Identifies “Ms. Zhao Junfang” as a medical doctor from Xiliu Town, Liaoning, sentenced in April 2004, and describes custody abuse — sleep deprivation, beatings by inmates, forced labor after injury. Source grade: Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; historical continuity anchor for the same person across three decades of reporting.
Minghui.org — “Reported in November 2025: 63 Falun Gong Practitioners Sentenced for Their Faith” (December 9, 2025)
(http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/12/9/231645.html). Monthly statistics roundup repeating the October 23, 2025 sentencing. Source grade: duplicate of the sentencing event above; snippet-confirmed, cited for lineage only.
维权网 — August 2026 monthly report, Issue 131 (August 31, 2026)
维权网《中国大陆在押政治犯、良心犯月度报告（2026年8月31日）第131期（共1638人）, mirrored in English and Chinese. Lists 赵俊芳 / “Zhao Junfang” in the “sentenced to 3 years, 110 people” band. The report supplies no biographical detail beyond the sentence and custody status; it is the source for her classification as in custody as of August 2026. Source grade: monitoring organization; single-source roster fact.
Source conflicts and limitations
The case rests entirely on Minghui.org plus the 维权网 roster. No primary court record, official procedural record, international-media account, or independent NGO coverage has been located; no PRC official source was found, and no Chinese-language report on this case was located. The criminal charge article is not stated in the sources. The first-term prison location is reported inconsistently — the 2004 report places her at the Liaoning Women’s Prison that year while the 2025 reports place the 2004 term at Dabei Prison in Shenyang; both renderings are preserved. The Chinese characters 赵俊芳 rest on the Issue-131 EN↔ZH positional equation plus exact pinyin identity with the reported name; no independent Chinese-language biographical source was found. The appeal outcome and post-sentencing detention facility are not documented. No contradictory account of this case was found. No consular dimension was established.
