Sun Fumei (孙福梅), 58, is a retired senior teacher from the Weifang University of Science and Technology (潍坊科技学院) in Shandong Province and a Falun Gong practitioner. She was taken from her home on August 26, 2025, tried on January 22, 2026 with two fellow practitioners, and on February 13, 2026 the Shouguang Court sentenced her to four years in prison with a fine of 48,000 yuan. She appealed to the Weifang Intermediate People’s Court; the appeal’s outcome has not been publicly reported. As of August 2026 she remains listed in custody. Details of this case come from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, an advocacy organization, and are attributed as such.
Arrest and detention
On August 26, 2025, the domestic-security brigade of the Shouguang Public Security Bureau, together with local police-station officers, entered the homes of three Falun Gong practitioners — Sun Fumei; Li Shengxing (李升星), 65, a retired senior teacher of Shouguang No.1 Middle School; and Fu Jingchun (付景春), 50, a villager of Luocheng Subdistrict — and took them away. Li Shengxing and Fu Jingchun were taken to the Shouguang detention center; Sun Fumei was taken to the Weifang detention center. These details are reported by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong.
Trial and sentencing
On the morning of January 22, 2026, the Shouguang Court tried Sun Fumei, Li Shengxing and Fu Jingchun together; the organization reports that family members were not permitted to attend the trial.
On February 13, 2026, the court sentenced all three: Sun Fumei to four years in prison with a fine of 48,000 yuan; Li Shengxing to three years and six months with a fine of 42,000 yuan; and Fu Jingchun to three years and four months with a fine of 40,000 yuan. Sun Fumei and Li Shengxing appealed to the Weifang Intermediate People’s Court. The outcome of the appeal has not been publicly reported; it is recorded here as not established.
Status
Sun Fumei is listed in the August 31, 2026 Issue 131 roster of mainland China political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in the “sentenced to 4 years” group — confirming she was still listed in custody as of that date. The specific statutory charge is not named in the available reporting and is not inferred here. The detention facility holding her after sentencing has not been publicly reported. Nothing about her status beyond the dated evidence above is inferred.
