Sun Xianting (孙显亭) — Falun Gong Practitioner from Tonghua, Jilin

Sun Xianting (孙显亭)

Sun Xianting (孙显亭) is a resident of Tonghua City, Jilin Province, and a Falun Gong practitioner. On the night of August 25, 2022, he was followed and arrested by police from the Shanxia police station in Erdaojiang District while distributing Falun Gong materials; his home was searched, and several thousand yuan in cash and other belongings were taken, according to the Falun Gong-run outlet Minghui and the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Prisoners of Conscience database.

He was held at the Liuhe County Detention Center for nearly a year. The Liuhe County court then tried his case in secret — his family was not notified and was not permitted to attend — and sentenced him to four years and six months; the charge is not specified. In August 2023 he was transferred to Jilin Prison, where his term runs to February 24, 2027.

These procedural details come from Minghui and the CHRD database and have not been independently corroborated by non-advocacy sources; Minghui’s characterizations of the proceedings are presented as reported.
