Person profile: Ding Huimin 丁慧敏
### Ding Huimin — media archive and case record
**Subject:** Ding Huimin (丁慧敏), female Falun Gong practitioner, Weihai City, Shandong Province. **Status:** in custody; one-year sentence imposed June 2, 2026, Rongcheng City Court (term to approximately June 2027; place of incarceration unverified).
### Chronology
– **October 27, 2025 (morning):** Ding Huimin, Yu Jingtao, and Xiao Bo are arrested at a rented dwelling in Changfeng Village, Jing District, Weihai, while binding Minghui calendars. Arresting officers are from the Jing District Domestic Security Office; a black hood is placed over Yu Jingtao’s head. Calendars, Falun Gong materials, and personal belongings are confiscated. All three are placed under criminal detention at a local detention center. (Police had placed the dwelling under long-term surveillance after observing Yu’s movements.)
– **October 27, 2025 (afternoon):** Yu Jingtao’s home is searched; computer, printer, and Falun Gong books seized.
– **November 27, 2025:** practitioner Wang Deshui is arrested by the same domestic security office when he leaves his home in Changfeng Village.
– **Late 2025 / early 2026:** all four are indicted; cases forwarded to the Rongcheng City Court.
– **April 23, 2026:** court date set for the four practitioners (English-language reporting; whether tried jointly or separately was unclear at the time).
– **June 2, 2026:** Rongcheng City Court sentences the four — Yu Jingtao six years, Wang Deshui three and a half years, Xiao Bo three years, Ding Huimin one year. (Reported in the Chinese-language Minghui Weihai edition, June 26, 2026.)
### Co-defendants
– **Yu Jingtao (于静涛), 56** — six years; previously given three years of forced labor in 2006 and served four and a half years in prison (Oct 2014–Apr 2019).
– **Wang Deshui (王德水)** — three and a half years.
– **Xiao Bo (肖波)** — three years.
### Source provenance and grading
– **Minghui.org English** (Nov 28, 2025 persecution-news digest; Apr 18, 2026 feature “Four Shandong Residents Face Trial…”) — primary narrative source for the arrest, detention, indictment, and trial-date facts; Falun Gong–affiliated outlet, single lineage; graded PROBABLE for reported detention facts, with outlet attribution noted.
– **Minghui Chinese-language Weihai edition** (qikan.minghui.org, June 26, 2026 PDF) — sole source for the June 2, 2026 sentencing outcome and for the verified Chinese characters 丁慧敏; consistent with the English reporting on the case (same four defendants, same court). The sentencing details should be treated as single-source until corroborated.
– **Issue 131 roster** — basis for current-custody listing; provides no case detail.
### Evidentiary limitations and caveats
– The April 2026 trial proceedings and the June 2026 sentencing are reported only by Minghui; no court document or second independent source has been located.
– Place of incarceration, exact sentence start/end dates, and whether an appeal was filed are unknown.
– The identity-note guard (丁慧敏 vs. 丁惠民) must be carried on the published page to prevent misidentification.
### Claims that must remain source-attributed
– All arrest, surveillance, detention, and sentencing details (Minghui).
– Yu Jingtao’s prior labor-camp and prison terms (Minghui).
– The claim that police had the dwelling under long-term surveillance (Minghui Chinese edition).
### Claims that must NOT be published
– Exact sentence end-date (estimated only — do not assert).
– Place of incarceration (unverified).
– Any conflation with the Xishuangbanna zhiqing activist 丁惠民.
