Media Archive: Chen Suyuan (陈素媛)
This archive preserves the source record for Chen Suyuan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Anshan, Liaoning Province, born in 1948, currently serving a three-year sentence imposed in 2026.
Source chronology
- CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database (record entered 2026-07-21) — the most detailed case record located. It documents her identity (born 1948, female, Anshan resident, Falun Gong practitioner since 1996), her detention history (October 2012 seizure and home raid with her husband; April 2020 detention and 1.5-year sentence by the Lishan District Court; January 20, 2026 seizure; April 22, 2026 trial by the Anshan Lishan Court), the 2026 three-year sentence with unknown charge, the term end date of January 19, 2029, and her detention at the Anshan City No. 1 Women’s Detention Center. The record cites minghui.org as an additional source.
- Rights Defense Network / 维权网, Issue 131 (August 31, 2026) — lists 陈素媛 among the 110 people reported as sentenced to three years, within 1,638 reported in-custody cases. This independently corroborates the three-year sentence.
- minghui.org — cited by the CHRD record as an additional source; the article-level page was not recovered in this research pass and is not independently verified here.
Verification and limitations
The CHRD record was opened and read in full via a direct database query on 2026-10-09 (exactly one record returned). The Issue 131 listing was verified by prior research. The charge for the 2026 sentence is unknown — neither source states it. No court judgment, PRC official statement, or state-media report on this case was found. The account of her husband’s 2012 death is the CHRD record’s attribution and has no independent corroboration.
