### About this archive
This archive collects the media and documentary record for Wang Yaru (王亚茹), the Siping, Jilin Falun Gong practitioner transferred to the Jilin Province Women’s Prison in early 2023 to serve a seven-year term.

### 2022 — Detention reported
**Minghui (English edition), October 19, 2022** — “Additional Persecution News from China – October 13, 2022 (16 Reports)” — section: “[Siping City, Jilin Province] Ms. Wang Yaru Detained”
http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2022/10/19/204381.html
The earliest report of the case. It identifies Ms. Wang Yaru as a Lishu County resident arrested for distributing information about Falun Gong, held in the Siping City Detention Center for over a month. Published by a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; case facts are the outlet’s reporting, not court-verified findings.
### 2023 — Sentencing and prison transfer reported
**Minghui (English edition), May 4, 2023** — “58-year-old Jilin Woman Sentenced to Seven-Year Prison Term for Her Faith”
https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2023/5/4/208369p.html
The most detailed account of the case. It reports that the 58-year-old Siping City resident was arrested in September 2022 for distributing Falun Gong materials, held at the Siping City Detention Center (tortured by guards and denied family visits, per the report), appeared in court in mid-October 2022 and was later convicted, and was transferred to the Jilin Province Women’s Prison in early January 2023 to serve a seven-year term. The report notes sentencing details were unavailable at the time of publication. Published by a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet; case facts are the outlet’s reporting, not court-verified findings.
### 2026 — Prisoner roster placement
**Rights Defense Network (维权网), monthly mainland prisoner report, Issue 131, August 31, 2026**
Wang Yaru (王亚茹) is listed in the report’s “Sentences of 7 years” band (判刑7年), at position 40 of the English edition (matching the ZH order). The band placement corroborates the seven-year sentence and is the documentary basis for fixing the Chinese characters of the roster entry. The report provides no further case detail for her.
### Gaps and limitations
No court verdict, indictment, or other primary legal document for this case is publicly available. No state-media or official coverage was found. No international NGO (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, CHRD) or the CECC political prisoner database carries a dedicated entry for this Wang Yaru. All case facts rest on Minghui’s reporting, corroborated between two of its reports seven months apart. The Chinese characters of her name are fixed by the 2026 prisoner roster’s bilingual equation, not by a Falun Gong source.
