Shen Jinxiang (申金祥) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Dongning City, Heilongjiang. Minghui.org and the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) report that he was arrested on July 18, 2025 and sentenced by the Hailin City Court on February 4, 2026 to five years’ imprisonment and a 2,000-yuan fine.
Those sources describe Shen’s case as part of a coordinated Dongning operation involving several practitioners. They report that his case was submitted to the Hailin City Procuratorate in August 2025, that he was later transferred to the Hailin City Detention Center, and that trial sessions were held in December 2025.
Minghui and WOIPFG report that Shen appealed to the Mudanjiang City Intermediate Court. WOIPFG says second-instance hearings were held on May 19 and 20, 2026, with no ruling reported as of May 31, 2026.
Status and evidence limits
Rights Defense Network Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists 申金祥 in its five-year-sentence group. The appeal outcome, prison assignment, release date, and status after August 2026 are not established by the located sources.
All located case-specific reporting comes from Falun Gong-affiliated sources, chiefly Minghui and WOIPFG. No PRC court record, official statement, or independent international-news or NGO report was located to corroborate the case details separately.
