Yuan Junhua / 袁俊花 — Media Archive
This archive documents the case of Yuan Junhua / 袁俊花. It preserves the documented record of a Falun Gong practitioner from Shouguang, Shandong, sentenced in September 2024 to three and a half years in prison.
Documented record, in chronological order
- Record created October 22, 2024 — The CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database lists Yuan Junhua, born 1964, female, of Shouguang, Shandong: taken away June 13, 2024; sentenced with a sentence end of December 12, 2027; held at the Weifang City Detention Center; charge listed as unknown. Note: the database’s “Sentence” column shows 4 years, while its own narrative and release date (June 2024 detention → December 2027 release = 3.5 years) and all other sources record three years and six months.
- Updated March 28, 2025 — Minghui’s victim file i140847 documents her biography and case history: practice of Falun Gong since 1998; the July 2023 seizure and release; indictment in December 2023; seizure on June 13, 2024 and transfer to the Weifang City Detention Center; three hearings at the Shouguang City Court; sentencing on September 19, 2024 to three and a half years plus a 30,000-yuan fine (presiding judge Li Yonghui); appeal to the Weifang Intermediate Court, upheld February 6, 2025 without a hearing.
- Roster listing, August 31, 2026 — The 维权网 (Rights Defense Network) Issue 131 political-prisoner report lists 袁俊花 in the “sentenced to 3 years 6 months” band of 126 people, with matching neighbors in the Chinese and English editions.
Source provenance and grading
- CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database (tenchu.org) — human-rights NGO prisoner database; individual-record source cited by the 维权网 Issue 131 report. Verified: CSV record read directly on October 9, 2026 (exactly one record for the name; no collisions).
- Minghui victim file i140847 — Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; victim biography with case chronology and linked reports. Verified: page opened and read on October 9, 2026. Its advocacy framing is attributed; factual anchors (dates, sentence, detention site) corroborate the CHRD record.
- Related reports linked from the victim file (8 items) — referenced from the file but not opened individually; flagged for downstream verification.
Contradictions and evidence gaps
- The CHRD database’s “Sentence” column displays “4 years” while its narrative text and release-date arithmetic (and every other source) give 3 years 6 months. Treated as a database display inconsistency; the 3.5-year figure is corroborated by Minghui and the roster band.
- The formal charge is not specified in any available source.
- No PRC court document, official record, or state-media coverage of this case was found in public sources.
- Post-sentencing detention facility beyond the sentence end date is not independently confirmed; current imprisonment is established by the sentence term (ends December 12, 2027), not by a confirmed current location.
- Disambiguation: 蒋俊华 (Jiang Junhua) is a different person — different surname and character (蒋 ≠ 袁), different case. This archive concerns 袁俊花 only.
