November 2024 — Sentencing report (Dalian case)

Minghui.org, a Falun Gong-affiliated information network, reported on December 16, 2024 that Ms. Yang Shuyu, 64, of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, had been sentenced to three years in prison in November 2024 for practicing Falun Gong, following a November 2, 2024 trial at the Ganjingzi District Court. She was arrested on February 23, 2024 together with Wang Jian, 55, who received four years and appealed. The report describes a raid by Lijia Street Police Station officers, confiscation of a computer and printer as prosecution evidence, and Wang’s hunger strike. The case-procedure details above come from Minghui reporting and have not been independently verified. URL: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2024/12/16/222092.html

January 2025 — Annual sentencing compendium

Minghui’s 2024 annual report, “Reported in 2024: 764 Falun Gong Practitioners Sentenced for Their Faith,” repeats the Dalian case record for Ms. Yang Shuyu (three years; co-defendant Wang Jian four years). This is a syndicated repetition of the same case record, not a new source. URL: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2025/1/14/223630.html

August 2026 — In-custody roster listing

Rights Defense Network / 维权网, in its Issue 131 monthly report on political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in custody (August 31, 2026), lists Yang Shuyu / 杨淑玉 in the “Sentenced to 3 years, 110 people” group. The report describes itself as an incomplete list that may contain errors; figures are attributed to the reporting organization.
