Hao Liping (郝丽萍) — Person Profile
Hao Liping (郝丽萍), a Falun Gong practitioner from Qinglong County in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison on August 20, 2024, for distributing Falun Gong informational materials, according to the Rights Defense Network (维权网), a Chinese human-rights documentation group. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists her in its 2-year-10-month sentence band, confirming she remains in custody serving her term as of that date.
The case
According to the Rights Defense Network’s case account (October 23, 2024), Ms. Hao lives in Mutoudeng Town, Qinglong County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. The group reports that because she continued practicing Falun Gong, she was repeatedly harassed at her home by local personnel and police officers. On May 7, 2017, she was arrested by officers of the Sanxingkou police station after hanging Falun Gong banners at Longtou Village in Sanxingkou Township; she was held for ten days at the Qinglong County Detention Center, the report states.
On December 13, 2023, Ms. Hao was arrested for distributing Falun Gong informational materials, the report states. She was placed under criminal detention, formally arrested, and prosecuted. On August 20, 2024, the Funing District Court of Qinhuangdao City sentenced her to two years and ten months in prison; her stated sentence term runs to October 12, 2026.
Earlier targeting
The 2017 banner arrest and 10-day detention at the Qinglong County Detention Center, plus repeated home harassment by local personnel and police, are documented in the case account above.
Status and evidentiary limits
As of August 31, 2026, the Rights Defense Network lists 郝丽萍 among political prisoners and prisoners of conscience reported to be currently in custody. The case account gives her sentence term as ending October 12, 2026; whether she was released on that date is unknown — no post-August-2026 update on her case was found, and release is not inferred. Her age and current detention facility were not given. All case facts rest on the Rights Defense Network’s reporting, an advocacy source, plus its own systematic roster; no court document, state-media account, or independent international-media corroboration was found. This profile should not be merged with Zhang Liping (张立萍, an unrelated person), her band neighbors (Yang Jie, Wang Yuping, Guo Jia, Wan Wu), or the other Hao surname-index neighbors.
