Wang Fan (王凡) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Dongying City, Shandong Province and the wife of Du Jianxin (杜建新). Minghui reports that she formerly worked as a Russian-language document translator and that she had previously received prison and forced-labor terms in earlier Falun Gong cases.
Minghui reports that on November 29, 2023, Wang Fan, Du Jianxin, and Fu Jian (付健) were arrested in a coordinated police operation in Dongying and Binhai. Wang and her husband were held at the Binhai Detention Center. Minghui also reports that Wang went on a hunger strike in custody and was force-fed.
The three defendants were tried in four Dongying District Court hearings on July 3, 2024, October 16, 2024, October 21, 2024, and May 19, 2025. Minghui and the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong report that on May 26, 2025, Wang Fan was sentenced to four years in prison while Du Jianxin and Fu Jian each received three years and six months. The WOIPFG case file reports that the appeals were rejected and that Wang was transferred to Shandong Women’s Prison after October 20, 2025.
