Documented sources
- 维权网, June 12, 2020 — “山西太原公民、网络活跃人士曲红（网名婷婷）2020年5月30日遭警方刑事拘留”: Reported that Qu Hong, a Taiyuan citizen and active internet figure known as 婷婷, was criminally detained on May 30, 2020 by Taiyuan police on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and held at the Taiyuan No. 3 Detention Center. Described her as a volunteer who had rebroadcast countless public-interest lectures in WeChat groups. Original report (independent Chinese-language rights-monitoring outlet).
- 中國政治犯關注 (China Political Prisoner Concern), CPPC No. 00899 — “曲紅（女）”: Profile records Qu Hong (female), date of birth unknown, from Taiyuan, Shanxi, net name 婷婷, internet activist and public-lecture rebroadcast volunteer; summoned and criminally detained by Taiyuan police on May 30, 2020 on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”; released on bail on September 30, 2021; previously held at the Taiyuan No. 3 Detention Center. Profile page (prisoner-monitoring project).
- CHRD 中国大陆良心犯数据库 (Chinese Human Rights Defenders conscience-prisoner database) — 曲红 record (entry dated July 8, 2020): Carries the single unique 曲红 record — female, Taiyuan, Shanxi, net name 婷婷, detained May 30, 2020 on “picking quarrels,” held at the Taiyuan No. 3 Detention Center, released on bail September 30, 2021. The database’s October 2026 full dump contains exactly one 曲红 record and no name-variant collisions. Database (recognized human-rights NGO prisoner database).
- 维权网 monthly reports, Issues 130 and 131 (July 31 and August 31, 2026): Each lists 曲红 among “山西3人” (张春蕾、曲红、马杰) in the detained-and-not-yet-sentenced (羁押未判) section. No charge, date, or case detail is given in either listing. Issue 130; Issue 131.
Contradictions and gaps
- The 2021 bail release (CHRD, 中國政治犯關注) sits in tension with the 2026 monthly-report listings of 曲红 as detained-not-sentenced; the listings provide no case detail, so whether they reflect a new detention or a stale entry cannot be determined from available sources and is not asserted here.
- Date of birth is not recorded in any located source.
- No arrest, indictment, or trial documents for the 2020 case were located.
- 曲红波 (a Liaoning pastor) is a different person and is not associated with this case.
Consulate / official-source check
No consular attention, diplomatic statement, or sanctions reference was found. No PRC official or state-media acknowledgment of this case was located.
