This archive collects the documented media record of Gao Xia (高侠), a Falun Gong practitioner from Jinzhou, Liaoning, who was reportedly sentenced to two years in prison following a police raid in October 2025. All items below were opened and read by the preparing team; each carries its verification status and provenance.
Case chronology from the media record
- October 14, 2025: Taihe branch domestic-security police enter Gao Xia’s home in Guta District, Jinzhou, detain her, and search the residence; Song Lijie is detained the same day. Both are placed in the Jinzhou detention facilities. (Minghui, Aug 1, 2026 report; matches the CHRD PoC record’s arrest date.)
- Investigation period: Police pressure Gao Xia’s husband, suggesting she faces a heavy sentence and threatening to detain him as well. (Minghui, Aug 1, 2026 report.)
- About four months before August 2026: Song Lijie, reported to have been sentenced to one year, is transferred to the Liaoning Women’s Prison. (Minghui, Aug 1, 2026 report.)
- August 2026: The outlet reports Gao Xia has been sentenced to two years; she remains at the Jinzhou Women’s Detention Center. (Minghui, Aug 1, 2026 report; consistent with the CHRD PoC record, entered September 18, 2026, giving a term to October 14, 2027.)
Media items (verification log)
- Minghui.org — “锦州两位法轮功学员遭枉判 家庭陷入危局” — August 1, 2026 — minghui.org — Falun Gong-affiliated reporting outlet. The central source: identifies 高侠 (age 56 in 2026, matching the CHRD birth month June 1970), Guta District resident, describes her family situation and health history, and reports the October 14, 2025 raid, the pressure on her husband, and the two-year sentence. Also reports Song Lijie’s parallel case. Verified (opened and read 2026-10-10).
- CHRD PoC (Prisoner of Conscience Database) — record: 姓名 高侠 / Name “Gao Xia” — entered 2026-09-18 — accessed via database query, 2026-10-10. Monitoring-organization database entry: female, born June 1970, Jinzhou Guta District, Falun Gong practitioner; taken October 14, 2025 by Taihe branch domestic-security police; 2-year sentence to October 14, 2027; held at the Jinzhou Women’s Detention Center. Verified.
- Clear Harmony — en.clearharmony.net (article a8103, found in the 2026-09-24 search pass) — mentions “Gao Xia (female, 41, resident of Saitama, Japan)” as the Japan-based niece reporting her aunt’s detention. She is the advocate in that story, not the detainee. Wrong person — recorded here as do-not-merge evidence; this item is NOT about the Jinzhou detainee and must not be attached to her.
Identity note
The roster’s romanized “Gao Xia” previously had no verified Chinese characters; the CHRD record and the Minghui report now fix the characters as 高侠. The eight-anchor match between the two sources (name, sex, birth month, district, affiliation, arrest date, detaining agency, facility, sentence) identifies one person.
Gaps and contradictions
- The charge and the court are not documented in any public source reviewed.
- No English-language coverage of the sentencing beyond the practitioner-network outlet was found; no official-source (court, government, state-media) record was found.
- No additional independent media items beyond the single Minghui report and the CHRD record were located.
- The Japan-based namesake is explicitly excluded above.
