This archive preserves the source basis, identification, and evidentiary limits behind the person profile for Du Fengjuan, a Chengde City, Hebei, Falun Gong practitioner, aged 61 at the time of reporting — arrested July 18, 2023, and convicted March 7, 2024 by the Shuangqiao District Court and sentenced to 3 years and 4 months with a 10,000-yuan fine, one of six Chengde practitioners sentenced together.
Identification
The identity rests on a single detailed English-language report whose anchors — Chengde city, July 18, 2023 arrest by the Shuangqiao District Domestic Security Division, Chengde City Detention Center custody, March 7, 2024 conviction by the Shuangqiao District Court, 3-year-4-month sentence with a 10,000-yuan fine — match the roster entry. No Chinese-language source for this case was found; the Chinese-character form of the name is unresolved and does not appear in either page. Same-name Falun Gong cases from 2002–2003 (Mengyin, Shandong) and 2018 (Qinglong, Hebei) are separate records — their histories are not merged here.
