Profile: Su Xiufu (苏秀福)
This archive preserves the source record behind the profile of Su Xiufu (苏秀福), a Falun Gong practitioner from Nong’an County, Changchun, Jilin, detained in August 2022 and sentenced to thirteen years in prison. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Source chronology
- Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) — Prisoners of Conscience database record (entered October 21, 2024): Retrieved via the database’s search interface; exactly one 苏秀福 record returned, and a full-database check confirms no competing rows. Establishes: 苏秀福 / Su Xiufu, male, born 1965, from Nong’an County, Changchun, Jilin; former formal employee of the Helong Township power-supply station; Falun Gong practitioner; repeatedly harassed, detained, and dismissed by his work unit; taken away at noon on August 24, 2022, with Xu Yafen and Yin Guiying at the Xinhaimingzhu community in Helong Town by Changchun City, Nong’an County, and Helong police; held at the Changchun No. 2 Detention Center; sentenced by the Dehui City Court to 13 years (charge not reported), release stated as August 23, 2035; held at Nong’an County Detention Center. Source grade: recognized human-rights NGO prisoner database. Limitation: record-level provenance only — no court document attached; the criminal charge of conviction is not reported. Database search page.
- Minghui — victim case file for 苏秀福 (Su, Xiufu): Records the same identity anchors: male practitioner from Nong’an County, Changchun; former Helong power-supply-station employee. Case history: December 2001 detention for refusing a renunciation statement; October 26, 2002 home break-in and seizure of cash and property, followed by one year of labor camp; 2007 escape during an arrest; October 2012 detention at Guojiadian; October 2013 Nong’an County Court trial with seven others — Su sentenced to 7 years; August 24, 2022 joint arrest with Xu Yafen and Yin Guiying at Xinhaimingzhu; detention at Changchun No. 2 Detention Center; September 2024 sentencing outcomes (Su thirteen years; Xu Yafen and Yin Guiying twelve years each); the two women transferred to the Jilin Provincial Women’s Prison on August 14, 2024; “苏秀福目前情况不明” (Su’s current whereabouts unclear) as of September 2024. Source grade: Falun Gong-affiliated advocacy media (subject-community source); the CHRD database cites Minghui as its other source for this record. Limitation: advocacy framing; official or court confirmation absent; the September 2024 whereabouts note stands alongside CHRD’s stated detention location — recorded, not resolved. Case file.
- Rights Defense Network (维权网) — Issue-131 mainland political-prisoner roster (August 31, 2026): Lists 苏秀福 in the “sentenced to 13 years” group; contributes the 13-year sentence-band anchor. Roster evidence only — no case details.
- Co-defendant case accounts: The published case record for co-defendant Yin Guiying independently records the same August 24, 2022 joint detention, the Changchun No. 2 Detention Center, and the September 2024 sentencing outcomes, consistent with all anchors above.
Provenance and limitations
- The criminal charges of conviction (2013 and 2024 sentences) are not reported by any located source and are not inferred here.
- The 13-year group in the Issue-131 roster is a sentence-length aggregation, not a case cohort — it contains people from unrelated cases; no case linkage is made on co-listing alone.
- Minghui’s September 2024 note that Su’s whereabouts were unclear stands alongside CHRD’s stated detention location; both are recorded, neither is resolved by inference.
- No PRC state-media or court-published judgment for these cases was located; no consular or diplomatic dimension applies to the located record.
- Related but distinct persons (do-not-merge): 苏秀英 / Su Xiuying (Shandong; 3-year sentence) — a different person; 鞠殿红 / Ju Dianhong — same sentence group, different case; 徐亚芬 and 尹桂英 — co-defendants, distinct persons with their own records.
