Xu Yafen (徐亚芬) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source record behind the 徐亚芬 profile: a Falun Gong practitioner from Nongan County, Jilin, sentenced to 12 years in prison in a group case reported in 2024, with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Minghui.org — “Reported in 2024: 764 Falun Gong Practitioners Sentenced for Their Faith” (January 14, 2025)
(Opened and read in full: http://en.Minghui.org/html/articles/2025/1/14/223630.html). The only detailed case record: the three defendants, the August 24, 2022 arrests after six-plus months of surveillance, and the three sentences. The Xu Yafen/Yin Guiying pairing and identical 12-year terms match the roster’s adjacent positions exactly. Source grade: advocacy media / sentencing roundup (practitioner outlet; reporting is advocacy-aligned).
Minghui.org — “Crimes of Tong Jianming, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, in Persecuting Falun Gong” (August 14, 2025)
(Opened and read in full: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/8/14/229353.html). Repeats the Nongan case summary within an accountability report; no new case facts. Source grade: DUPLICATE — canonical is the January 2025 roundup above.

Source conflicts and limitations
The formal criminal charge, the trying court, and the trial date have not been publicly documented; these records do not state them, and they are not inferred. Xu Yafen’s age has not been reported. The prison where she is serving her sentence has not been publicly named; her exact release date is not published. No PRC official or state-media coverage of this case has been found. A same-name practitioner from Taicang City, Jiangsu (3-year sentence, 2019) is a different person and must not be merged with this profile.
