Continuity note
The October 2014 Zunhua/Dangyu detention and the 2025 case both concern a Fengrun District Falun Gong practitioner named 郝淑萍; Minghui’s December 2025 report treats them as one person’s history. The identity is carried by exact name, district, faith context, and the matching 3.5-year sentence.
Do-not-merge records
郝淑萍 of Yongji County, Jilin Province — different person with a 2000–2007 detention history and no 3.5-year sentence. Not the roster person; do not merge.
