Guo Hongying (郭宏英) is a rights-defense petitioner from Siping, Jilin Province. The roster supplies only the romanized name; 郭宏英 is the character form used by the documented Siping case source, while 郭红英 remains an unresolved possible character-form collision.
Family petitioning background
A 2025 Chinese-language investigative account reports that Guo’s family pursued complaints over alleged official misconduct for years. It describes convictions of her brother Guo Hongwei and mother Xiao Yunling and reports that Guo Hongwei died in prison in April 2021. These facts and characterizations remain attributed to that source.
2018–2023 case
The same account reports that Guo was detained in 2018 after petitioning and later prosecuted for obstructing official business and “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” It states that the Tiedong District Court imposed a combined five-year sentence in 2019, upheld on appeal, and that she completed the term and was released in February 2023.
2025 proceedings
According to the investigative account, Guo was tried again on September 17, 2025 in the Tiedong District Court on a new charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” Her lawyer Wang Wei entered a not-guilty plea. The court reportedly scheduled a continuation for September 24 and later canceled it by telephone. The outcome of the case and Guo’s custody status after the September 17 hearing are not established.
Evidence limits
The substantive public record rests primarily on one Chinese-language investigative article and related social-media posts. No court judgment, established international-media report, or major human-rights-organization coverage was located. Claims of retaliation, courtroom mistreatment and pressure on observers remain source-attributed.
