- 2025-10-24 — Minghui victim-library bio (梁少琳). Substantial biographical record covering 1999–2025: the 1999 Beijing appeal and re-education-through-labor detention (Sanshui), “transformation” center detentions, March 2005 release, the September 2009 Maoming arrest and 2010 nine-year sentence, a September 2019 15-day detention at Maoming railway station, the January 2024 arrest at her sister’s Baiyun home, the September 2024 Liwan District Court trial and four-year sentence, and the February 2025 transfer to Guangdong Women’s Prison.
