Zhao Zhuqing (赵祝庆)
Zhao Zhuqing (赵祝庆) is a female Falun Gong practitioner from Pingchuan District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, reported to be serving a five-year prison sentence. According to a June 14, 2026 notice by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, she was seized from her home on March 8, 2024 by national-security police of the Pingchuan District Public Security Bureau, who raided the house and took her to the Baiyin City detention center. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists her in its 5-year-sentence band, confirming she remains in custody serving her term as of that date.
The case
Police linked Zhao to fellow practitioner Wang Xinghui (63) through surveillance footage; they raided Wang’s home the same night and detained her as well. The notice states that both women were sentenced to five years’ imprisonment by the Pingchuan District authorities, and that the Baiyin Intermediate People’s Court rejected their appeals. It further states that in early October 2025 the two were transferred to the Gansu Women’s Prison. The organization characterizes the proceedings as unlawful.
The August 31, 2026 Issue 131 monthly report of the Rights Defense Network (维权网) independently corroborates the five-year term: it lists Zhao Zhuqing among 111 people serving a five-year sentence, with 赵祝庆 placed in the matching position of the same group alongside 王兴惠 in the report’s Chinese edition. The report classifies its entries as political prisoners and prisoners of conscience currently in custody.
No court judgment document has been located and the formal charge wording has not been independently confirmed. Her age has not been reported. No release, parole, or transfer record after the October 2025 prison transfer has been located.
Status and evidentiary limits
As of August 31, 2026, the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 report lists Zhao Zhuqing in its 5-year-sentence band with an in-custody classification. No release date has been stated in any public source; none is given here. Source attribution: the case details above come from the June 14, 2026 notice of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong; the in-custody classification and five-year-term corroboration come from 维权网’s Issue 131 report (August 31, 2026), consulted in both its Chinese and English editions. Limitations: the exact sentencing date is unknown; the formal charge wording has not been independently confirmed; no court judgment document has been located; her age has not been reported; the organization’s characterization of the proceedings as unlawful is its own and must stay attributed; status beyond August 31, 2026 is unverified. Do-not-merge: this profile must not be merged with any other 赵祝庆 record lacking the Baiyin/Pingchuan, five-year, and Wang Xinghui anchors — no namesake case record was found in the bounded searches.
