Zhao Xiaohong (赵晓红) — Person Profile
Zhao Xiaohong (赵晓红), born October 1967, is a Falun Gong practitioner from Chengde City, Hebei Province. In March 2024 she was sentenced to three years and four months in prison as one of six Chengde practitioners convicted together by the Shuangqiao District Court; she was also fined 10,000 yuan. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists her in its 3-year-4-month sentence band, confirming she remains in custody serving her term as of that date.
The case
On July 18 and 19, 2023, officers from the Shuangqiao District Domestic Security Division detained six Falun Gong practitioners — Li Guifang, Yu Suhua, Du Fengjuan, Zhao Baoli, Zhao Xiaohong, and Liu Jingchun — and searched their homes, seizing Falun Gong materials. The six were held at the Chengde City Detention Center; their arrests were approved by the Chengde City Procuratorate on August 16, 2023, and the Shuangqiao District Procuratorate later took over the cases.
The six appeared before the Shuangqiao District Court on December 25, 2023, and were convicted on March 7, 2024. Li Guifang received four years; Yu Suhua three years and seven months; Liu Jingchun three years and six months; Du Fengjuan and Zhao Xiaohong three years and four months each; Zhao Baoli three years. Each was also fined 10,000 yuan. The presiding judge was Fan Xiaojun, with judges Deng Lijing and Zhao Zhiguo. The specific criminal charge is not stated in the located case records.
Status and evidentiary limits
As of August 31, 2026, the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 report lists Zhao Xiaohong in its 3-year-4-month sentence band with an in-custody classification. No release date has been stated in any public source; none is given here. The case facts are attributed to the Minghui case report (April 13, 2024) and the Chinese Human Rights Defenders Prisoners of Conscience database (record poc_z_00557); the in-custody listing is per the Issue 131 monthly report. Her recorded sentence runs to November 17, 2026; no release is inferred. The charge and her detention location beyond the recorded detention center are unknown. Do not merge her with 赵小红 or other same-named persons, nor with her co-defendants 李桂芳, 于素华, 杜凤娟, 赵宝利, 刘井春, who are separate individuals in the same case.
