Case summary
Hao Shue’e (郝淑娥), a woman born November 8, 1963, is a rights defender and petitioner (维权访民) from Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province, formerly a worker at the 855 Farm. The documented record covers: a decade-plus of petitioning over her brother’s disputed 2009 death; detentions in Beijing in 2012 (32 days, Fengtai) and 2013 (31 days, Xicheng) plus confinement in an unregistered facility; a September 8, 2019 detention on suspicion of extortion approved by the Mishan City procuratorate; her refusal of private settlement and of bail-for-release terms; and a reported two-year-nine-month sentence by the Hongxinglong Court. A current listing as detained without trial in the Heilongjiang group of the Rights Defense Network’s August 2026 monthly report follows the documented case record, but no re-detention date, location, or release record for the earlier sentence has been publicly documented. All sources are rights-monitoring or concern-group records; no official court document has been obtained.
Source chronology
- Rights Defense Network Information Center (维权网), case bulletin “黑龙江省鸡西市密山市855农场维权访民、人权捍卫者郝淑娥的案情通报” (September 14, 2021; wqw2010.blogspot.com/2021/09/855_14.html) — the primary case report: identity (855 Farm worker, petitioner, rights defender); the brother’s 2009 disputed death and the petitioning that followed; 2012 and 2013 Beijing detentions; September 8, 2019 Beijing detention → Mishan procuratorate extortion arrest approval; reported intimidation in detention; refusal of settlement and of 5,000-yuan bail-for-release terms; held at Mishan City detention center. The most detailed dated case profile; corroborates the CHRD record independently.
- Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), Database of Prisoners of Conscience in Mainland China (record entered 2021-09-30; retrieved via on-site dosearch, field name=郝淑娥, October 10, 2026; tenchu.org/pocd/public/searchpage) — name 郝淑娥 / “HAO SHU E”, born 1963-11-8, female; charge extortion (敲诈勒索), sentence 2 years 9 months; held at Mishan City detention center; full case narrative matching the 维权网 bulletin; adds the Hongxinglong Court sentence and cites the bulletin, China Digital Times, and the CPPC record as sources. No release date documented. The identity anchor (exact name + Heilongjiang) linking the 2021 case profile to the 2026 roster entry; the only source naming the sentence.
- 中國政治犯關注 (China Political Prisoner Concern), record CPPC No. 01051 (September 14, 2021; cppc1989.blogspot.com/2021/09/cppc01051.html) — independent concern-group record: same identity anchors (name, birth date, Mishan 855 community address, petitioner status); the detention chronology; photographs of her petitioning and of her identification document. Third independent corroboration of the case identity.
- Rights Defense Network (维权网), Monthly Report on Political Prisoners and Prisoners of Conscience in Custody in Mainland China, Issue 131 (2026-08-31) (chinahrc.org/content/43092/) — Chinese and English editions: lists 郝淑娥 / “Hao Shue’e” 3rd of 4 in the detained-without-trial (羁押未判) “黑龙江4人” / “Heilongjiang (4 people)” group (with Zhang Lijun, Liu Jie, Zhang Sen). No biography in this issue. The current-status anchor and the Chinese-character identification.
- China Digital Times, page chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/314718.html — cited by the CHRD record as an additional source. Could not be opened or read in this pass (domain unreachable); flagged for click-verification by the downstream publisher. Not relied on for any published fact.
Source provenance and limitations
Sources 1–3 are rights-monitoring / concern-group records, not official procedural documents. Descriptions of procedural irregularities (autopsy change, detention-center intimidation, closed proceedings) are the sources’ statements, not independently verified findings. The Hongxinglong Court sentence (2 years 9 months) is reported by the CHRD database only; no court judgment document has been obtained, and no release date is documented. The 2026 roster listing gives no date, location, or procedural details for the detention it records; the linkage between the documented 2019–2021 case and the 2026 listing rests on the exact-name + Heilongjiang anchors. No re-detention is asserted as fact. The China Digital Times item was not opened; the publisher should click-verify before citing. Group neighbors in the 2026 listing (Zhang Lijun, Liu Jie, Zhang Sen) were not researched in this pass; shared list placement does not establish a shared case.
