Media and document record
1. Minghui — “Four Jilin Men Sentenced for Telling People About the Persecution of Falun Gong” (October 15, 2025) — https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/10/15/230925.html
The central case and sentencing report. Dehui City Court sentenced Yang Fujun, 57, of Yushu City to four and a half years on August 18, 2025, with a 10,000 yuan fine. Yang and Du Changjiang were arrested December 30, 2024, by the Yushu City Domestic Security Office after being found helping people install satellite dishes that receive uncensored overseas news about the persecution of Falun Gong; Fan Yunpeng was seized the next day; Lyu Xianfeng was arrested in Baise, Guangxi, the same day. Formal arrest warrants followed on January 23, 2025. The report also records Yang’s earlier detentions: held August–October 1999, three one-year forced-labor terms (2001, 2005, 2009), and a five-day detention after a December 13, 2019 arrest. Trial details were not reported. Single-lineage practitioner outlet — every fact in the person profile traces to this lineage.
2. Minghui — “Additional Persecution News from China – January 3, 2026” (January 24, 2026) — http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2026/1/24/232418.html
Prison-transfer item: on December 2, 2025, Yang Fujun and Fan Yunpeng were taken to Jilin City Prison, while Du Changjiang and Lyu Xianfeng were taken to Gongzhuling Prison. This is the most recent custody datapoint located. (Note for the publisher: the published Du Changjiang profile states no source was located for his subsequent detention; this same report places him at Gongzhuling Prison — the two may need reconciliation.)
3. Minghui — “Additional Persecution News from China – January 15, 2025” (January 27, 2025) — https://projectshield.en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/1/27/223984.html
Contemporaneous arrest-period digest recording Yang Fujun’s arrest on December 29, 2024 — one day earlier than the October 2025 case report’s December 30. Minor date variance; the later detailed report is preferred.
4. Minghui — “Reported in October 2025: 32 Falun Gong Practitioners Sentenced for Their Faith” (November 12, 2025) — https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/11/12/231279.html

5. Rights Defense Network (维权网) — Issue 131 in-custody roster, August 31, 2026 — chinatruth.net/en/…
Roster listing: “Yang Fujun” in the 4.5-year sentenced group (EN edition); “杨福军” in the “判刑4年6个月，72人” group (ZH edition). Independent reported-custody datapoint; ZH characters positionally confirmed from the ZH/EN equation.
6. FreeChina.live — Du Changjiang, person profile (post 13310) and Media Profile & Archive (post 13313) — https://freechina.live/uncategorized/du-changjiang/ and https://freechina.live/uncategorized/du-changjiang-media-profile-archive/
Related live pair: co-defendant Du Changjiang’s published profile describes the shared arrest and sentencing (same Minghui lineage), corroborating Yang Fujun’s role in the case. Same-evidence-family cross-reference.
Provenance and limitations
All case detail derives from one advocacy lineage (Minghui, a Falun Gong practitioner-run outlet) plus the rights-defense roster. No court judgment, trial transcript, or independent press account of the case has been located. The charge article was not named in any source. The arrest date carries a one-day variance between sources (December 29 vs. December 30, 2024).
