Person profile: Lin Zhongying (林忠英)
This archive preserves dated reporting on Lin Zhongying, a Falun Gong practitioner from Banan District, Chongqing.
2017–2019 — first case
Minghui reports a September 17, 2017 arrest, a two-and-a-half-year sentence plus a 3,000-yuan fine, an unsuccessful appeal, and transfer to Chongqing Women’s Prison in June 2019.
2022–2024 — post-release pressure
Minghui reported demands that Lin repay retirement benefits received during detention and later visits and calls from local officials. These accounts remain source-attributed.
2025 — second arrest and sentence
Minghui reports Lin’s January 3, 2025 arrest, a June 26 sentence of two years and three months, and an appeal hearing scheduled for September 17. The September article body uses “Li Zhongying” once, but the headline and all case anchors match Lin Zhongying; this is treated as a source typo, not an alias.
January 2025 report · September 2025 report
November–December 2025 — prison report
Minghui reported that Lin was admitted to Chongqing Women’s Prison in November 2025 and alleged mistreatment and restrictions on family contact. These claims are attributed to the outlet.
