Yu Yanhua (于艳华) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source record for Yu Yanhua (于艳华）, reported as a Falun Gong practitioner from Anda City, Heilongjiang Province, reported as serving a five-year prison sentence, with source attributions and the limits of what is known. The case narrative comes from the CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database and Minghui (a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet); the two are consistent on all major anchors but are not fully independent — the CHRD record itself cites the Minghui article as its source.
Identity linkage note
The Rights Defense Network (维权网) Issue 131 roster lists “Yu Yanhua” in romanized form only. The Chinese name 于艳华 used here rests on converging anchors: its exact positional match in the Chinese edition — both the surname index (…于亚欧、于艳华、于永利… against …Yu Yaou, Yu Yanhua, Yu Yongli…) and the 判刑5年，111人 group (…陈翠珠、于艳华、姜春梅… against …Chen Cuizhu, Yu Yanhua, Jiang Chunmei…); the CHRD PoC record’s case anchors (female, born 1959, Anda City Suihua, 3 labor-camp terms + 1 prison term, arrested July 30, 2022, 5-year sentence); and a 2023 Minghui report naming the same 于艳华 — same city, same age, same detention history, same 5-year sentence — which also records her alias 于晓华. Caveat: no official court or prison document has been located; the case record comes from monitoring organizations and a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet.
