This archive preserves the source record behind the Su Guiying 苏桂英 profile: the reporting on her 2016–2020 term and alleged abuse, the pension dispute, her 2023 arrest, and the 2024 five-year sentence, with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Minghui — “63-Year-Old Guangdong Woman Sentenced to 5 Years for Seeking Reinstatement of Suspended Pension” (June 5, 2024)
(Minghui.org, opened and read in full: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2024/6/5/218485p.html) Primary case article: Chikan District Court, Zhanjiang City, sentenced Su Guiying, 63, to five years in May 2024. Reconstructs the pension sequence: pension suspended August 2020 days after she completed a four-year term; repeated visits to the social-security bureau; one worker dared her to sue; complaints to the supervising agency met with the runaround; case dismissed by the local court. Arrested from home May 11, 2023 — police raided without showing a search warrant, she challenged them, formal arrest warrant by the Mazhang District Procuratorate; case transferred to the Chikan District Procuratorate; trial November 15, 2023 at the Chikan District Court. The article cautiously states she was “likely still held at the Zhanjiang City Detention Center” after the May 2024 conviction. Source grade: subject-community media; primary case narrative; attributed. This is the most recent substantive reporting on her case; nothing newer was located.
Minghui — “Relentless Torture of Falun Gong Practitioner in Guangdong Women’s Prison” (March 11, 2021)
(Minghui.org, opened and read in full: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2021/3/11/191354.html) First-person/source-community account of her first term: arrested August 31, 2016; tried December 12, 2017; four-year sentence plus 5,000-yuan fine; alleged abuse at Guangdong Province Women’s Prison — beatings, prolonged standing and exposure to the sun, denied restroom use, sleep deprivation, eyelids poked with toothpicks, cold or boiling water poured on her, pinching, and detention in a psychiatric hospital with injections of unknown drugs. She was released in August 2020. All abuse claims are attributed to the account as published by Minghui; no independent verification is available. Source grade: subject-community media; first-person-style testimony; attributed.
Minghui — Guangdong Women’s Prison article (September 21, 2022)
(Minghui.org, opened and read in full: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2022/9/21/203953p.html) Summarizes alleged abuse of Su Guiying during the earlier four-year term. Corroborates the 2021 account’s anchor facts (Zhanjiang, Guangdong Women’s Prison, prior term). Source grade: subject-community media; attributed.
Minghui — “Additional Persecution News from China – November 4, 2022” (November 15, 2022)
(Minghui.org, opened and read in full: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2022/11/15/204763.html) Reports that Su Guiying, released in August 2020 after the prior sentence, petitioned over her suspended pension benefits. Corroborates the pension-dispute sequence that the 2024 article treats as the prelude to her rearrest. Source grade: subject-community media; attributed.
维权网 — August 2026 monthly report, Issue 131 (August 31, 2026)
维权网《中国大陆在押政治犯、良心犯月度报告（2026年8月31日）第131期（共1638人）, read via local mirror of the Chinese edition. Independent Chinese-language rights-monitoring outlet. Lists 苏桂英 in the “判刑5年” (sentenced to 5 years) group, immediately before 金新春; the EN↔ZH positional equation “Su Guiying = 苏桂英” was confirmed from the report’s English edition. Supplies no biographical detail beyond the sentence and custody status; it is the source for her classification as in custody as of August 2026. Source grade: monitoring organization; single-source roster fact.
Source conflicts and limitations
No conflicts between the sources on the core facts: the 2016 arrest, 2017 trial, four-year first term, August 2020 release, pension dispute, May 2023 arrest, November 2023 trial, and May 2024 five-year sentence are consistent across the items. The 2024 article’s statement about her detention location uses cautious wording (“likely still held at the Zhanjiang City Detention Center”); no firmer location fact should be stated. No primary court record, official procedural record, international-media account, or recognized-NGO coverage beyond the outlets above has been located; no PRC official source was found for this case. The Falun Gong affiliation, the pension-dispute causation sequence, and all abuse claims are Minghui-reported and attributed accordingly. No consular dimension was established.
