Profile: Sun Ping (孙萍)
This archive gathers the published record on Sun Ping, a retired worker and Falun Gong practitioner from Changchun, Jilin, sentenced to five years in prison in 2023. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Key events
- Detention — February 23, 2022. Minghui reported on January 11, 2023 that police entered Sun Ping’s home early in the morning, confiscated her computer, printer, and books, and detained her, moving her through the Minkang Road police station and Xinglongshan before she was placed in the Changchun Fourth Detention Center on February 28, 2022. Her family received no news of her for more than ten months.
- Sentencing — January 2023. Minghui reported that Chaoyang District Court personnel notified Sun Ping’s family she had been sentenced to five years, and that she requested an appeal.
- In custody — August 31, 2026. The monthly roster of mainland political and conscience prisoners lists her in the five-year-sentence group.

Provenance and limitations
- Minghui is a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; its reporting is the primary source for the detention and sentence. The five-year sentence was reported through the family’s account of the court’s notification, not a published court judgment; the statutory charge is not publicly established.
- The appeal outcome is unconfirmed on the public record.
- A separate CHRD record with the English name “SUN PING” concerns 孙平, a Rizhao, Shandong practitioner with a two-year sentence — a same-pinyin collision, not this person, and excluded from this archive.
- No PRC court-published judgment or official document for this case has been found publicly; no consular dimension applies to this domestic case.
