Sun Hongqin is listed by the Rights Defense Network (维权网), an independent Chinese-language monitoring organization, as a political or conscience prisoner detained without trial in Shanghai.
In the organization’s monthly custody report dated August 31, 2026, 孙洪琴 appears in the Shanghai group of eight people under the section for detainees held without a reported sentence (羁押未判) — alongside Lü Guomei, Li Yi, Xu Wei, Li Ping, Chen Pinlin, Mao Hengfeng, and Hua Xiuzhen. No sentence length, charge, arrest date, or detention facility is given for Sun Hongqin in the report, and no biographical details beyond the name and the Shanghai listing are publicly available.
The romanization “Sun Hongqin” may be shared by unrelated people. This profile documents only the 孙洪琴 in the August 2026 Shanghai custody listing — a different person from the Falun Gong practitioner Sun Hongzhu (孙洪柱) of Shandong, whose Chinese characters differ.
Sources and documentation: the listing above comes from the Rights Defense Network’s August 31, 2026 monthly report on political and conscience prisoners in custody in mainland China. No international-media, human-rights-NGO, or official Chinese-government reporting specific to this person was located. Nothing is known publicly about the reasons for detention beyond the roster listing itself.
