The case
Wang Guiying (王桂英) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Kaifeng City, Henan Province, who was renting accommodation in Zhengzhou, according to the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Prisoners of Conscience Database.
First detention and sentence
On April 29, 2016, Wang was seized while distributing Falun Gong materials and taken to the Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center, according to the CHRD database. In April 2017, the Jinshui District Court in Zhengzhou sentenced her to one and a half years in prison; she was then transferred to the Xinxiang Women’s Prison in Henan to serve the term. These are the database’s attributed accounts.
Re-arrest and current sentence
On November 13, 2023, Wang was again seized by police in Zhengzhou, Henan, according to the CHRD database. In early March 2025 it was learned that she had been sentenced to three years and three months in prison; the charge and the place of detention were not stated in the record. Her recorded term runs to February 12, 2027.
Status and evidentiary limits
Wang Guiying is classified as a current prisoner. The Rights Defense Network’s August 31, 2026 monthly report (Issue 131) lists 王桂英 among the prisoners of conscience in custody, in the “sentenced to 3 years and 3 months” group — consistent with the 3-year-3-month term in the CHRD record. Her exact charge, the court that imposed the current sentence, and the facility where she is held are not confirmed in the available sources; no further detail is inferred. This profile does not merge Wang Guiying with any other person of the same name, including the woman of the same name sentenced to ten months in the 2023 Dehui case.
