Wang Shuhua (王淑华) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Songyuan City, Jilin Province, reported to have been sentenced to nine years in prison.
On September 13, 2017, Wang’s husband, Li Guojun, was seized by officers of the Minkang Road police station in Changchun while at a fellow practitioner’s apartment. On the morning of October 12, 2017, Wang and her elder sister Wang Shufen went to the Minkang Road police station to demand Li’s release; both women were detained. Her sister was released on the evening of October 13, while Wang was kept in custody. In late December 2017 she was formally arrested.
In February 2018, a lawyer retained by the family attempted to visit Wang at the Songyuan Detention Center. The detention center refused the meeting, and when the lawyer went to the Songyuan Justice Bureau to raise the matter, officials told him that “non-party members are not allowed normal visits” — an account attributed to the reporting. Wang was subsequently reported to have been sentenced to nine years in prison, the charge unspecified, and was transferred to the Lan Jia Women’s Prison (Jilin Provincial Women’s Prison) on June 4, 2018.
The Rights Defense Network’s monthly report on political prisoners and prisoners of conscience (August 31, 2026, Issue 131) lists Wang Shuhua as a prisoner in custody, in the nine-year sentence group. A prisoner-of-conscience database entry records the nine-year term through October 11, 2026.
Status
Wang Shuhua is verified as currently imprisoned as of the August 31, 2026 custody roster, with her sentence term running through October 11, 2026.
This profile is compiled from reporting by Minghui, corroborated for custody status and sentence length by the Rights Defense Network’s monthly monitoring report and a prisoner-of-conscience database. Claims about the circumstances of Wang’s detention and sentencing are attributed to those sources. No official court judgment has been located, and the criminal charge is not stated in the located sources. This profile concerns the Songyuan, Jilin case — it must not be merged with the separate Liaoning and Heilongjiang cases also listed under the name Wang Shuhua.
