Yang Liyan — Media Profile & Archive

Person profile: Yang Liyan — Political Prisoner Profile

This page preserves the dated public record on Yang Liyan (杨丽艳) of Songyuan City, Jilin Province — a Falun Gong practitioner reported sentenced to ten years in late 2020 — with source attributions and the limits of what is known.

Case chronology

September 10, 2019 — Ms. Yang Liyan, a Falun Gong practitioner of the Hongguang Farm No. 6 Team in Songyuan, Jilin, is taken away by Songyuan public-security officers in a coordinated arrest of thirteen practitioners; her husband Chen Hailin, who does not practice Falun Gong, is also seized, and their home is searched (EN Minghui, 2019-09-22; Minghui library record).
September 2019 – late 2020 — Ms. Yang is held at the Shanyou Detention Center in Songyuan. (EN Minghui, 2019-09-22; Minghui library record)
December 4, 2020 — According to the Minghui case record, after more than a year in detention, the Qianguo’erluosi Court sentences her to ten years in prison (prosecutor Liu Wenjun); she is transferred to Jilin Prison. EN Minghui’s 2021 sentencing summary independently records entry #104: 杨丽艳 / Yang Liyan, Jilin, Songyuan, sentenced December 2020, 10 years.
August 31, 2026 — The Rights Defense Network’s monthly report of mainland political prisoners and prisoners of conscience (Issue 131) places Yang Liyan in its fixed-term-imprisonment section in the “sentenced to ten years” group (Chinese edition).

Source provenance and limitations

All case facts come from Minghui-affiliated reporting (news items, the Minghui library case record) and the prisoners-of-conscience database that republishes the Minghui case record. No corroborating source (court document, official procedural record, international media, or human-rights NGO report) has been located for Yang’s case specifically. The formal charge and her current detention facility are unattested — neither is inferred. The release date of September 9, 2029 is the database’s record, not an independently confirmed official finding.

Consulate / official-source check

Ms. Yang is a PRC national; there is no consular dimension to the case. PRC government sources searched (court notices, state media): no official acknowledgment of her case found. Result: not found; the case record rests on Minghui-affiliated reporting and the prisoners-of-conscience database.
