Profile: Sun Guixiang (孙桂香)
This archive gathers the published record on Sun Guixiang, a Falun Gong practitioner from Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, sentenced to eight years in prison in 2025. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Key events
- Arrest — March 27, 2025. Minghui’s English edition reported on April 6, 2025 that police arrested Sun Guixiang in Dongning City and held her at the Mudanjiang City Detention Center.
- Trial — April 2, 2025. Minghui’s English edition reported on April 15, 2025 that the Aimin District Court tried her at 9 a.m.; she refused to confess or sign, and no verdict was issued in court.
- Sentence reported — June 2025. Minghui’s Chinese edition reported on June 9, 2025 that Sun Guixiang told her family during a June 4 visit to the detention center that she had been sentenced to eight years and would be transferred to prison in August. The same report recounts her earlier persecution history: a 2003 detention involving a psychiatric facility and forced injections, two decades of financial extortion by local authorities, and a December 2017 detention — all family-attributed accounts.
- In custody — August 31, 2026. The monthly roster of mainland political and conscience prisoners lists her in the eight-year-sentence group.

Provenance and limitations
- Minghui is a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; its reporting is the primary source for the arrest, trial, and sentence. The eight-year sentence was reported through Sun Guixiang’s own statement to her family, not a published court judgment; the underlying charge is not publicly established.
- A 2014 Minghui first-person account by a different Dalian Sun Guixiang (Masanjia labor-camp era) and other same-name records are not this person and are excluded from this archive.
- Her detention facility after the reported August 2025 prison transfer has not been publicly confirmed.
- No PRC court-published judgment or official document for this case has been found publicly; no consular dimension applies to this domestic case.
