Preface:
“Rights Defense Network: Monthly Report on Political and Conscience Prisoners in Custody in Mainland China” is the latest monthly report compiled and written by the Information Center of the Rights Defense Network, which every month summarizes and tallies the cases of political and conscience prisoners currently detained without trial, forcibly disappeared, or already sentenced in mainland China.
Beginning with Issue No. 101 of this monthly report, the report was completely revised. At the same time, given that the China Human Rights Defenders (CHRD)-affiliated “Mainland China Conscience Prisoner Databasehttps://tenchu.org/pocd/public/ has included all the conscience prisoners mentioned in our monthly reports, beginning with Issue No. 101 we no longer display in the monthly report the biographies of the vast majority of conscience prisoners for whom there are no updates this month.
We will continue to append the list of conscience prisoners in custody to the report. Readers can log in to the “Mainland China Conscience Prisoner Database”https://tenchu.org/pocd/public/ by name to look up all relevant information, which is very convenient.
The “Mainland China Conscience Prisoner Database” not only includes conscience and political prisoners currently in custody; information on conscience and political prisoners who have been released or died can also be found in the database. The collection of information for the “Mainland China Conscience Prisoner Database” began in January 2019. As of July 29, 2026, it had included information on a total of 4,306 conscience prisoners.
This report mainly focuses on all political and conscience prisoners in custody—including those already sentenced and those detained without trial—for whom we have been able to collect reliable information. The report makes every effort to collect, write and edit information on political and conscience prisoners from the many ethnic groups in mainland China, including Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, Kazakh, Hui, Mongolian, Korean and Manchu people, striving to comprehensively and truthfully reflect the harsh living conditions of political and conscience prisoners in mainland China today.
To facilitate searches, this report provides a complete list of people in custody arranged entirely in pinyin order by the names of conscience and political prisoners. At the same time, this report continues to compile statistics on the prison terms of all conscience and political prisoners, with those detained without trial listed at the end.
Once people on this report’s list are released on bail pending trial, released on medical parole, acquitted and released, placed under residential surveillance at home, given a suspended sentence, or released after completing their sentences, they will be removed from the report’s official list of people in custody, but their biographies will be displayed in the current issue.
This report is published every month without interruption and updated in every issue. It embodies the long-term, quiet work and dedication of many volunteers, informants and editors. Over more than a decade, our network has collected, organized and edited the names and biographies of more than 4,000 people for whom relatively detailed information is available.
This number represents the tremendous efforts of all our staff under conditions of high risk. The report has been able to be published regularly and on time, with increasingly detailed information, also because it has received active feedback and support from many human rights defenders in mainland China. We hereby thank all the friends who have provided information.
For more than a decade, day after day, our network has continuously summarized and reported on the circumstances of political and conscience prisoners in mainland China. This is to protest and condemn the Chinese Communist authorities’ use of various methods—including detention beyond the statutory period, delaying trials, abuse and torture, and beatings—to inflict torture on conscience and political prisoners. Being tortured and abused in Chinese Communist prisons is a harsh reality that detainees must frequently face.
Our network firmly believes that the outside world’s persistent attention will provide spiritual and material assistance to those suffering in prison! This report’s systematic exposure of the Chinese Communist authorities’ use of various torture methods to persecute and torment political and conscience prisoners has already provoked strong reactions from all quarters at home and abroad.
Our network has consistently updated and tallied the latest information and publishes this monthly report at the end of each month, expressing through it our concern for and remembrance of all political and conscience prisoners who have lost their freedom. Through it, we also tell the world not to forget those who endure suffering for freedom, democracy and human rights.
Our network believes that the regular updating and publication of this report can directly reflect the current human rights situation in mainland China—because the circumstances of a country’s political and conscience prisoners are among the most important indicators of that country’s human rights.
Through this report, our network reveals the current poor human rights situation in mainland China and the tragic circumstances of conscience and political prisoners, striving to awaken the international community’s memory of political and conscience prisoners in custody in China and to secure sustained attention and appeals until they obtain freedom.
Our network believes that regularly making public the names and circumstances of conscience and political prisoners is one way we can provide these victims with practical and effective support. We know that nothing makes these conscience and political prisoners feel more desperate and pained than being forgotten by people.
Therefore, we must shoulder this work, even as a mission.
Ten years of trials and tribulations have passed, and the road ahead will still contain countless difficulties and dangers. But with your support, we will continue to move forward bravely as before!
Finally, although this report has been carefully verified by our network’s Information Center and has received assistance from many human rights defenders in mainland China, limitations in conditions still make it impossible to compile timely and accurate statistics on all political and conscience prisoners in custody. The report reflects only the tip of the iceberg and remains incomplete, requiring our continued efforts!
If you discover omissions or have supplementary information, please correct us and, wherever possible, inform our network.

I. Overview of this issue:
“Rights Defense Network: Monthly Report on Political and Conscience Prisoners in Custody in Mainland China” is updated every month and is a current-affairs report on political and conscience prisoners in custody in China. This is Issue No. 130. The report has now been published monthly for more than ten years.
The full text of this issue contains 61,000 Chinese characters. This issue conducted a comprehensive, individual verification of all political and conscience prisoners on the previous report’s list. It learned that 49 people on the previous list had completed their sentences and been released, and that 25 people had new developments in prison. At the same time, this issue adds the names and profiles of seven people newly criminally detained and 29 people newly sentenced, a total of 36 people. Very unfortunately, this issue again received information that one conscience prisoner on the previous list was persecuted to death in prison two years ago. At present, this issue’s report records and publishes the names of 1,642 conscience and political prisoners in custody.
For ease of searching, “Rights Defense Network: Index of Political and Conscience Prisoners in Custody in Mainland China” is the sole index for the names in this report. The index is arranged in pinyin order by name (ABCDEFG....WXYZ). At the same time, this report has compiled statistics on the prison terms of all conscience and political prisoners, with those detained without trial listed at the end.

1. Jin Mingri: Born in 1968, from Heilongjiang Province, ethnic Korean, Christian, pastoral name “Ezra,” former pastor of Beijing Gangwashi Christian Church (abbreviated as “Gangwashi Church”), current important founder and senior pastor of Beijing Zion Church, advocate and promoter of the public recognition of urban churches, victim in the “10/9 Zion Church case,” and Chinese conscience prisoner. In his youth, he was admitted to Peking University’s Department of Geophysics in 1986 (now the School of Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University), and was baptized into the Christian faith in 1989; after graduating from university, he first worked for a foreign company, but in 1991 voluntarily gave up his secular job after feeling called and was admitted to Yanjing Theological Seminary (formerly the Religious Studies Institute of Yenching University) to study theology; after graduation, he taught at the seminary and served as a pastor at Beijing Gangwashi Christian Church; in 2002, he went to Fuller Theological Seminary in California, United States, for further study of New Testament theology and received a doctorate in theology; in 2007, he returned to China and began founding Beijing Zion Church. Through his efforts to pastor the church, it developed into one of China’s largest unofficial churches, with multiple branch churches in different cities nationwide and more than 1,000 people attending weekend worship; in September 2018, as the number of people at Zion Church continued to grow, the authorities sought to impose strict control, but his church as a whole refused to join the Chinese Communist Party-controlled “Three-Self” church, and was ultimately banned by the Chinese Communist Party, forcing it to become an “underground house church”; thereafter, he was frequently monitored and harassed by the authorities and was forced to leave Beijing for another location; despite the difficult environment for evangelical work, he remained optimistic and continued practicing, attempting to pastor Zion Church believers by convening small, dispersed gatherings and sharing evangelistic videos online; it is reported that during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many other churches stopped their activities, his Zion Church instead developed rapidly, spreading the Gospel through online platforms including Zoom, YouTube and WeChat, sometimes attracting tens of thousands of believers nationwide; however, as the Chinese Communist authorities continued to intensify their crackdown on religious belief, in September 2025 the authorities issued new regulations intended to restrict online religious activities to officially registered channels; in fact, even before then, Christian house churches in various places had been repeatedly attacked and subjected to crackdowns in recent years, including the arrest and abuse by the authorities of many pastors and co-workers from Zion Church; because he was frequently monitored, he once told the state-security police monitoring him that he would retire from Zion Church so that he could reunite with his family in the United States, but the police refused to let him leave; from October 9 to 10, 2025, all branches of Zion Church nationwide (including those in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan) were attacked in coordinated operations by the authorities. More than 30 pastors, co-workers and key believers were summoned, became unreachable or were criminally detained; worship and meeting venues of the churches were sealed, property was searched, and the families of some co-workers were threatened and harassed; on October 10, he was also taken by Beihai police from his home in Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the next day was criminally detained on suspicion of “illegally using an information network”; in response to such a large-scale arrest operation, the wives of several pastors, including his wife, formed a “pastors’ wives group” and issued an urgent appeal, asking Christian churches nationwide and worldwide to pray with them.
Jin Mingri was released on July 3, 2026, and sent to the United States. Before this, he had been detained at Beihai No. 2 Detention Center (Pingyang, Goude Town, Yinhai District, Beihai City, Guangxi Autonomous Region; postal code: 536005).

13. Huang Hua: Born November 23, 1982, from Zhangwang Village, Longgu Town, Pei County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu; resident of Building 3, Jinpu Yiyuan, Nanchang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiangxi; employee of Nanchang Bangde Information Collection Co., Ltd.; Christian; person responsible for Nanchang Christian Assembly and Changbei District Assembly; one of the parties in the “Nanchang Assembly case”; Chinese conscience prisoner. Since becoming a Christian, he has been enthusiastic about church service; after leaving his hometown for Nanchang, Jiangxi, he quickly became a key believer in the Nanchang Christian Assembly (also known as the “Shouters,” “Church of God” and “Local Church”); beginning in 2017, he served as the person responsible for the Nanchang Assembly and Changbei District Assembly. As the Nanchang Assembly grew, its church leaders, co-workers and believers were frequently harassed, monitored and suppressed by the local government. On March 7, 2021, while organizing a gathering of 14 believers in Changbei District, he was suddenly raided by police from the Nanchang Economic and Technological Development Zone. They seized 204 Shouter church books and promotional materials, including “Life-Study” and the “Recovery Version of the Bible,” and subsequently summoned him and church elder Pan Zizheng. The following day, March 8, both were administratively detained for 15 days by police from the Nanchang Public Security Bureau’s Economic and Technological Development Zone on suspicion of the “cult” crime. The two were repeatedly detained and released on bail until 2022, when the local police transferred the case to the Xihu District Procuratorate for review. At the beginning of 2023, the two were again detained and arrested, accused of having violated the government’s religious regulations because more than 100 people attended gatherings they organized. On April 14, 2023, the first-instance trial was held at Xihu District Court in Nanchang. On May 12, he and Elder Pan Zizheng were sentenced: Huang Hua received three years and three months’ imprisonment and a fine of 25,000 yuan for “organizing and using a cult organization to undermine implementation of the law,” with his sentence expiring July 27, 2026; Elder Pan Zizheng received three years and six months and a fine of 30,000 yuan. Both objected and appealed. The second-instance decision is pending. He is currently detained at Nanchang No. 1 Detention Center. Source:https://wqw2010.blogspot.com/2023/07/33.html
14. Jiang Kui: From Kaili City, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province; Christian; clergy member of the Kaili City Seventh-day Adventist Church; one of the key members and leaders of a church meeting point; Chinese conscience prisoner. Since participating in worship at a meeting point of the Kaili City Seventh-day Adventist Church, he devoted himself to various church ministries and gained the trust and praise of the meeting-point elder and believers. But because the meeting point had operated as a house church for more than 20 years and refused to recognize or accept management by the Chinese Communist authorities’ strictly controlled “Three-Self Church,” despite having long submitted an application for legal recognition to the Guizhou Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau, it was never approved and was subjected to severe ideological restrictions by the Guizhou authorities. In July 2020, as the number of believers increased and the meeting points rapidly grew from one to three, the authorities in Qiandongnan Prefecture became alarmed and established a task force to investigate them comprehensively. Subsequently, he and three other clergy members, including church elders, were all taken away by Kaili police and criminally detained on suspicion of “fraud,” after which they became unreachable. The four were later formally arrested by the Kaili Procuratorate on the same charge, accused of fraud because the meeting point’s application had not been approved by the state and believers’ offerings therefore constituted fraudulent funds. On August 14, 2021, the Kaili City Court sentenced the four at first instance to terms ranging from 12 to three years for “fraud.” Jiang Kui received the heavier sentence of six years; his sentence expires in July 2026. He objected and appealed to the Qiandongnan Prefecture Intermediate Court. The second-instance decision is pending. Jiang Kui is currently detained at Kaili City Detention Center, Qiandongnan Prefecture (Yongle Road, Kaili City, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou; postal code: 556099).

19. Ma Jiang: Male Falun Gong practitioner from Shenyang, Liaoning, formerly an employee of Shenyang Liming Company. Ma Jiang began practicing Falun Gong in 1996. During the 24 years of Chinese Communist persecution of Falun Gong, Ma Jiang and several relatives were brutally persecuted for persisting in their belief, leaving his family broken and relatives dead.

47. Xue Shaoqiang: From Bengbu City, Anhui, Christian, elder of Bengbu Living Stone Reformed Church, Chinese conscience prisoner. Because he believed in Jesus Christ and, feeling called, enthusiastically served the church, he eventually became a preacher at Living Stone Reformed Church in Bengbu, Anhui. Since 2023, church cases have frequently arisen across China, with many pastors and co-workers arrested or convicted by the authorities, launching a new round of frenzied suppression of Christian house churches. Because his church did not wish to come under the administration of the Chinese Communist Party’s “Three-Self” church, it soon came under pressure. On April 11, 2023, the church’s pastor, Wan Changchun, was taken away and criminally detained by police in Yuhui District, Bengbu, on suspicion of “illegal business operations.” He and church co-workers Wan Chunqin and Cao Binting were subsequently criminally detained on the same charge. At the same time, several other elders, deacons and co-workers were summoned, the church’s finances were comprehensively investigated, its account was frozen, and some people’s homes were searched. On May 18 of the same year, Yuhui District police changed the charge against the four—himself, Pastor Wan Changchun, co-worker Wan Chunqin and Cao Binting—to “fraud” and arrested them. They subsequently indicted the four and Pastor Wan’s wife, You Xiulin, together on the charge of “fraud” before the Yuhui District Procuratorate (although You Xiulin was ultimately allowed to await trial on bail). On May 16, 2024, the case was tried at Yuhui District Court in Bengbu. Because the court forcibly commenced the hearing before defense lawyers had arrived, the four protested by remaining silent and singing hymns, forcing the court to announce an adjournment. Subsequently, defense lawyers and their families complained to and reported the circumstances to several government departments. On January 8, 2025, the case was tried again at Yuhui District Court. On that day, except for Pastor Wan Changchun, who remained detained, the other three were released on bail pending trial. On March 27 of the same year, the court finally issued its judgment in the fraud case: except for Wan Changchun, who received the heavier sentence of five years, he, Cao Binting and Wan Chunqin were each given suspended sentences. He himself was sentenced to two years and six months, suspended for four years, and fined 3,000 yuan; Cao Binting was sentenced to two years with three years’ suspension and fined 3,000 yuan; and Wan Chunqin was sentenced to two years with two and a half years’ suspension and fined 3,000 yuan. However, after returning home, because he and Wan Chunqin refused to comply with the excessively harsh and unreasonable probation-supervision measures imposed by the court, on September 5, 2025, the court revoked the suspended sentences of the two and again imprisoned them to serve their terms. His sentence is expected to expire in July 2026. He is currently detained at Bengbu City Detention Center, Anhui.

III. This issue learned of developments concerning 25 people in prison (with biographies)
Updates on 20 people in prison, including the eight pastors and co-workers in the “10/9” Zion case, Zhou Songlin, Ding Zhongfu, Zhang Chao, Hu Yang, Min Liangchen, Xue Shunrong, Dai Zhichao, Zan Aizong, Yu Shaolin, Li Qun, Luo Ping, Dai Yaoting, Zhang Zhan, Au Kam San, Ji Xiaolong, Zhang Yadi and Shao Mingliang:
1–8/“10/9” Zion case: Eight pastors and co-workers of Zion Church face the unsubstantiated criminal charges of “fraud” and “illegal business operations”
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 30, 2026, this website learned from information released by Zion Church: The “10/9” Zion case has entered its 295th day. As of today, eight pastors and co-workers of Zion Church remain detained in the No. 1 and No. 2 detention centers in Beihai City, Guangxi, facing the unsubstantiated criminal charges of “fraud” and “illegal business operations.” On June 18, 2026, the case was transferred to the People’s Procuratorate of Yinhai District, Beihai City, for examination and prosecution. On July 17, 2026, in less than a month, the case was suddenly brought before the People’s Court of Yinhai District, Beihai City, without the defense lawyers’ knowledge and without giving them an opportunity to submit defense opinions. During the past week, the defense lawyers and family members of the eight people still detained in the Zion case successively received the indictments submitted by the procuratorate to the court. According to the indictments, Wang Lin, Gao Yingjia, Yin Huibin, Wang Cong, Liu Zhenbin and Lin Shucheng were accused of “jointly committing fraud,” allegedly “conducting illegal religious activities and defrauding believers of more than 10 million yuan in ‘offering money.’” Wang Lin, Wang Zhong and Wu Qiuyu were accused of “jointly and intentionally committing the crime of illegal business operations,” allegedly “from 2020 to 2025, without authorization, illegally selling religion-related ‘course packages’ through information networks and collecting more than 2 million yuan in illegal business proceeds.” The indictments further allege that “Wang Lin played a major role in the criminal activities of fraud and illegal business operations; Gao Yingjia and Yin Huibin played major roles in the joint fraud activities and were principal offenders; the others were accomplices.” In response to these allegations, Pastor Jin Mingri, the founding executive pastor of Zion Church and chairman of the board of Zion Bible Institute (ZBI), who was released earlier this month, said in a recent media interview: “Whether the church supports preachers who are willing to serve the Lord is decided by the deacons’ board and the elders’ board. Our preachers are not seeking profit, and even less have they used deception in pastoral activities to cause the church’s believers to suffer losses.” Therefore, the charge of “fraud” does not stand. “ZBI is a Bible institute established within Zion Church. Before 2018, Zion Church cooperated with other house churches to provide theological education. After the church came under pressure, training for preachers and key church workers was moved inside the church to avoid implicating other seminaries. Some Bible Institute courses charge a registration fee of 300 yuan. This is not tuition, but is intended to encourage students to commit themselves to and invest in the training. Some students have their registration fees refunded after completing the courses, and most of the institute’s expenses are covered by church offerings.” Therefore, the charge of “illegal business operations” does not stand. By classifying offerings made in church pastoral work, support for pastors and internal religious education as criminal offenses, the authorities handling the case are effectively criminalizing the religious activities that have long existed in China’s house churches. This is not only an open trampling of the freedom of religious belief guaranteed to citizens by China’s Constitution, but also an arrogant violation of God’s sacred law and supreme authority. The indictment claims that there are statements from victims and witnesses. In fact, some believers were misled or even coerced by the case handlers and, in panic, provided false testimony. These believers are willing to testify again and explain that the church did not deceive them and did not cause them financial losses through pastoral activities. Moreover, many members of Zion Church and many students of Zion Bible Institute can testify that offerings are not “fraud” and Bible training is not “illegal business operations.”Source of information: https://wqw2010.blogspot.com/2026/07/10982026730.html
9/10/Zhou Songlin and Ding Zhongfu: Pastor Zhou Songlin and Elder Ding Zhongfu, sentenced to four years and six months and four years respectively in the Hefei Ganquan Church case, have both been transferred to Xuancheng Prison to serve their sentences
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 30, 2026, this website learned that Pastor Zhou Songlin and Elder Ding Zhongfu, sentenced to four years and six months and four years respectively in the Hefei Ganquan Church case, have both been transferred to Xuancheng Prison to serve their sentences. On November 30, 2023, Pastor Zhou Songlin and Elder Ding Zhongfu were arrested in the Hefei Ganquan Church case. On February 13, 2026, the two were sentenced for fraud to four and a half years and four years respectively. Dissatisfied with the first-instance verdict, they appealed. On May 7, 2026, without a hearing, their lawyers received the written second-instance ruling of the Hefei Intermediate People’s Court: the appeals were rejected and the original judgments were upheld. Recently, Pastor Zhou Songlin and Elder Ding Zhongfu were both transferred to Xuancheng Prison to serve their sentences. Correspondence addresses: Zhou Songlin: First Prison Area, Xuancheng Prison, Zhouwang Town, Xuanzhou District, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province; Ding Zhongfu: Fourth Floor, Jinbao Prison Area, Xuancheng Prison, Zhouwang Town, Xuanzhou District, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province; Postal code: 242061.
Biography of Zhou Songlin: Born in the 1960s, a native of Anhui Province, Christian, formerly a preacher in a Three-Self church, founder and pastor of the Ganquan House Church in Hefei, Anhui Province, and a Chinese prisoner of conscience. More than 30 years ago, after graduating from a Chinese theological seminary recognized by the government, he was assigned to preach at a church under the jurisdiction of the Three-Self church. After marrying, however, he and his wife felt called and resolutely left the Three-Self church—an “iron rice bowl” within the system—to establish Ganquan House Church in Hefei, Anhui Province. Since then, through full-time service and diligent preaching of the gospel, the church had grown to 400–500 Christian believers by 2023. Because the Chinese Communist authorities have continually persecuted house churches for more than a decade, with house churches in many places suppressed and disbanded, his church was also forced to relocate many times. To protect worship activities from disruption and interference, a church workers’ assembly decided to use accumulated offerings from believers to purchase two properties for worship and church gatherings. At the same time, to prevent the authorities from refusing to recognize house-church property, several co-workers were collectively selected to hold the properties jointly—the two properties were registered in the names of Elder Ding Zhongfu and two other church members. Legal procedures were followed, and video notarization was archived to prove that the properties belonged to the church, with clear ownership records. However, this became the authorities’ reason and evidence for later arresting and prosecuting the church’s pastors and co-workers. On November 30, 2023, 16 pastors and co-workers of Ganquan Church were suddenly summoned at their homes by the Shushan District police in Hefei, and all their homes were searched. Zhou Songlin, Elder Ding Zhongfu, preachers Mao Junma and Pei Defei, and administrative co-worker Yang Peiyun were criminally detained on suspicion of “fraud.” On December 28 of the same year, although three preachers and co-workers were released on bail pending trial, he and Elder Ding Zhongfu remained detained and were later formally arrested. The two were accused in connection with the two properties of Ganquan Church and the church’s financial transactions. In early May 2024, his lawyer learned from the Shushan District Procuratorate that the case’s status was: “1. It will not be returned for supplementary investigation; 2. The deadline is extended by half a month; 3. There will be no plea-bargaining procedure because neither man admits guilt; 4. The case will be prosecuted to the court no later than May 20.” During this period, some church co-workers—or people claiming to be co-workers—came under pressure from the authorities. Because the wives of the two men had hired defense lawyers unwelcome to the authorities, disagreements and division arose over the appointments, leading some believers to say they would leave the church. In response, on May 5, he said from prison that the persecution he and Elder Ding Zhongfu were suffering was “truly political persecution”: “They did not voluntarily participate in politics; they were forced into politics.” His wife also issued a statement saying that her husband “is an upright and devout Christian who has served the church full-time for 32 years. His principles of service are: loyalty to God, grounding in the Bible, exalting Christ, loving God and loving people,” and that “to avoid temptation, he insists on not touching the church’s money in his service,” and “not a single penny has gone into his own pocket.” She also called for the release of her pastor husband and Elder Ding Zhongfu, saying: “They did not illegally take other people’s property through deception. They are not fraudsters; they are innocent. Please return their freedom.” Two other church believers also sent petitions and written testimony at different times to the Hefei Religious Affairs Bureau and the criminal investigation team regarding the wrongful arrests of the two men, but the authorities ignored them and refused to accept them. On July 31, 2024, a pretrial conference was held in their fraud case at the Shushan District People’s Court in Hefei. Because the defense lawyer pointed out that the prosecutor had failed to perform the required duties, resulting in numerous problems in the indictment, the prosecutor was rendered speechless by questioning and had to terminate the conference early. A second pretrial conference was held on October 14 of the same year, but to this day there has been no trial result in the case. It is reported that although his health was poor in the detention center, he learned to live with three attitudes: the attitude of martyrdom, the attitude of spiritual cultivation and the attitude of proclaiming the gospel. He conveyed encouragement to church believers to “make up your minds to live for the gospel.” The court ultimately issued its verdict on February 13, 2026: Pastor Zhou Songlin was sentenced to four years and six months in prison and fined 30,000 yuan, with his sentence ending on May 31, 2028. He had previously been detained at Hefei Detention Center (Hefei [Male] Detention Center, Supervision Detachment, Meichonghu Road, Shuangfeng, Changfeng County, Hefei City; postal code: 230000). In July 2026, he was transferred to Xuancheng Prison. Correspondence address: Zhou Songlin, First Prison Area, Xuancheng Prison, Zhouwang Town, Xuanzhou District, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province; postal code: 242061.
Biography of Ding Zhongfu: Born in the 1960s, a native of Anhui Province, Christian, elder and person responsible for church financial management at Ganquan House Church in Hefei, Anhui Province, home-education worker, and Chinese prisoner of conscience. Because he firmly believed in Jesus Christ, he voluntarily served in the church. He was later ordained an elder and served as a pastor and co-worker at Ganquan Church in Hefei. Because of his honesty, kindness, diligence and commitment to justice, as well as his dedication to home education, he was highly regarded in the church and surrounding community. In particular, through words and example, he helped many believers establish and strengthen good family relationships. However, after more than 20 years of development, Ganquan Church had expanded into a well-known local house church with 400–500 believers and had therefore frequently been raided and disrupted by the local Religious Affairs Bureau and police for more than a decade. On November 30, 2023, 16 pastors and co-workers of Ganquan Church were suddenly summoned at their homes by the Shushan District police in Hefei, and everyone’s home was searched. Ding Zhongfu, Pastor Zhou Songlin, preachers Mao Junma and Pei Defei, and administrative co-worker Yang Peiyun were then criminally detained on suspicion of “fraud.” On December 28 of the same year, while three preachers and co-workers were released on bail pending trial, he and Pastor Zhou Songlin remained detained and were later formally arrested on the same charge. They were accused in connection with Ganquan Church’s two properties and financial transactions, with the authorities alleging that the two men “with the purpose of illegal possession, under the guise of religion, defrauded others of more than 3.39 million yuan in total, an especially large amount,” and therefore committed fraud. On April 30, 2024, the case was transferred by the Shushan District police to the Shushan District Court for prosecution. In early May of that year, the defense lawyer learned from Shushan District police officers that the case had been notified as follows: “1. It will not be returned for supplementary investigation; 2. The deadline is extended by half a month; 3. There will be no plea-bargaining procedure because neither man admits guilt; 4. The case will be prosecuted to the court no later than May 20.” During this period, a small number of church co-workers came under pressure from the authorities. Because the wives of the two men had hired defense lawyers unwelcome to the authorities, disagreements and division arose over the appointments, leading some believers to say they would leave the church. In response, Pastor Zhou Songlin, who was co-defendant in the same case, said from prison on May 5 that the persecution he and Elder Ding Zhongfu were suffering was “truly political persecution,” and that they had not “voluntarily participated in politics, but were forced into politics.” At the same time, the wives of the two detained pastors issued statements and appeals saying that their husbands “did not illegally take other people’s property through deception. They are not fraudsters; they are innocent. Please return their freedom.” Several other church believers also sent petitions and written testimonies at different times to the Hefei Religious Affairs Bureau and criminal investigation team regarding the wrongful arrests, proving that the two men were innocent and that there had been no deception or fraud, but the authorities ignored them and refused to believe them. On July 31, 2024, a pretrial conference was held in their case at the Shushan District People’s Court in Hefei. Because the defense lawyer pointed out that the prosecutor had failed to perform the required duties, resulting in numerous problems in the indictment, the prosecutor was rendered speechless by questioning and had to terminate the conference early. A second pretrial conference was held on October 14, 2024, but the case still remains pending. It is reported that his health in the detention center was extremely poor. In addition to several chronic illnesses common among older people, his blood pressure reached as high as 170/110 and could not be controlled even with medication. He frequently suffered chest tightness, dizziness and insomnia. His wife called for the “immediate release of an innocent man.” The court ultimately issued its verdict on February 13, 2026: Elder Ding Zhongfu was sentenced to four years in prison and fined 28,000 yuan, with his sentence ending on November 30, 2027. He had previously been detained at Hefei Detention Center (Hefei [Male] Detention Center, Supervision Detachment, Meichonghu Road, Shuangfeng, Changfeng County, Hefei City, Anhui Province; postal code: 230000). In July 2026, he was transferred to Xuancheng Prison. Correspondence address: Ding Zhongfu, Fourth Floor, Jinbao Prison Area, Xuancheng Prison, Zhouwang Town, Xuanzhou District, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province; postal code: 242061.

12/Hu Yang: The case of Hu Yang, a Henan-born Leiden University student in the Netherlands who was arrested, recently went to trial; no verdict was announced in court
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 25, 2026, this website learned that the case of the arrested Henan-born Leiden University student in the Netherlands recently went to trial, but no verdict was announced in court.
Biography of Hu Yang: Born in the 2000s, a native of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, a student at Leiden University in the Netherlands, prosecuted for speech, and a Chinese political prisoner. Exceptionally intelligent from childhood, he was admitted upon graduating from high school to a chemistry program at Wuhan University’s School of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences because of his diligence and outstanding grades. After enrolling, he also minored in law at the university’s School of Politics and Public Administration. By the time he graduated, he had obtained dual degrees in chemistry and law. He continued preparing for further study and, according to his wishes, applied to study abroad. In September 2024, he went to Leiden University (Universiteit Leiden, one of Europe’s oldest and leading universities) to pursue a Master of Arts in philosophical perspectives on politics and economics at the Institute for Philosophy (part of Leiden University’s Faculty of Humanities). After successfully graduating in summer 2025 and obtaining a master’s degree in philosophy from Leiden University, he planned to pursue a related doctorate in the Netherlands. However, just as his seemingly bright plans and future outlook were about to be realized, he soon encountered merciless political repression by the Chinese Communist government. In recent years, as the authorities have intensified their suppression of citizens’ religious beliefs and freedom of expression year after year, cases in which Chinese students studying abroad were monitored, warned or harassed upon returning home—and even arrested, sentenced or forcibly disappeared—for exercising free speech overseas or supporting Chinese human-rights activities have clearly increased. It is reported that since 2024 alone, several young students have been secretly arrested and disappeared when returning home to visit family after studying in Europe, the United States, Hong Kong or Taiwan. They had merely read truthful information and news data in overseas media that were difficult to see in China, posted negative comments online that displeased the authorities, or actively participated in activities focused on and calling for improvements to China’s poor human-rights situation. This attracted the attention of the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas online “water army”—online writers who publish content targeting specific subjects and monitor and report specific information on international online platforms—which then monitored and reported on them. In July 2025, after graduating with a master’s degree from Leiden University, he arranged to return to China for the summer holidays with former classmates from China, including Wu Haoyu, who was also studying for a master’s degree in computer science at the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy. The two flew together and arrived in Shanghai on July 26. Unexpectedly, when the plane arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, they were stopped by police at the airport and were subsequently criminally detained by Zhengzhou police in Henan on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” They have been unreachable ever since. Because his family did not know why he had been arrested, they repeatedly asked the police for the reason and requested visits, but were refused each time. They were only told that the two men’s cases involved “speech issues” and had to be handled as politically sensitive cases. Since his mother neither knew the specific reason for his arrest nor was allowed to see him, she was forced to post an appeal for a lawyer to intervene. The lawyer retained by the family was still refused a meeting with him. On September 1 of that year, because he had remained criminally detained for a long time without being released and the start of the academic year at international universities was approaching, his mother was forced to post requests for help on X and elsewhere online, urgently seeking his and Wu Haoyu’s classmates and friends in Europe to help pack their belongings and handle withdrawal from university, termination of their leases and other procedures. This ordinary request for help led to his mother being summoned for a talk that afternoon and forced to delete her posts and remain silent. In response, his mother expressed her incomprehension and bravely posted: “Is it also illegal to post a request for help finding someone? Who will be responsible for the nearly 2,000 euros in monthly rent if my son’s apartment is not terminated? If the landlord sues me, who will bear the legal responsibility? Who will be responsible if his important personal belongings are lost? Who will help me withdraw all the university fees? To whom should the belongings and remaining money that he asked me to carry for his friends be sent back?” and so on. On September 3, she learned that he and Wu Haoyu had both been formally arrested by Zhengzhou police on the same charge. On October 31, the case was transferred by Zhengzhou police to the People’s Procuratorate of Erqi District, Zhengzhou, for examination and prosecution. Several days later, however, his lawyer requested to meet him and review the case files, but was again delayed and refused, with officials saying that the transfer procedures had not yet been completed and that visits were not allowed. His family separately sent multiple petitions to the Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau, the Henan Provincial Public Security Department, the Ministry of Public Security and procuratorates at various levels, hoping that senior authorities would supervise the lawful approval of lawyer visits and ensure that the case was handled openly, fairly and according to law, preventing a cover-up and disguised forced confessions. On November 9, 2025, it was learned that he was finally allowed to meet a lawyer after being detained for 107 days. After the meeting, the lawyer said that, because of explicit restrictions imposed by the authorities, he could not discuss the case in detail and could only report his safety to the family, mentioning his physical condition, mental state and what clothing should be sent. As for Wu Haoyu, the Italian student arrested with him, his family had been silenced, so his specific situation remained unknown. On July 21, 2026, it was learned that the first-instance trial in his picking-quarrels-and-provoking-trouble case had recently been held at the Erqi District Court in Zhengzhou, but no verdict had yet been issued. He is currently detained at Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center.

13/Min Liangchen: Famous Henan essayist Min Liangchen, sentenced to three years for his speech, transferred to Henan No. 2 Prison in Xinxiang, Henan Province
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 24, 2026, this website learned that Min Liangchen, a famous Henan essayist sentenced to three years for his speech, had been transferred to Henan No. 2 Prison in Xinxiang, Henan Province. In April 2024, Min Liangchen was suddenly arrested by police from the Zhongyuan District of Zhengzhou, Henan, and became unreachable. It was later learned that he had previously published 290 articles overseas and was therefore accused of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On May 8, 2024, he was arrested for publishing commentary overseas and accused of “fabricating false information, defaming and denigrating our country’s party system, political system and party and state leaders in his articles, damaging the country’s image and seriously disrupting social order.” His case was later prosecuted by the Zhongyuan District People’s Procuratorate in Zhengzhou and transferred to the court. In January 2026, Min Liangchen was sentenced to three years in prison. He had previously been detained at Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center. He has now been transferred to Henan No. 2 Prison in Xinxiang, Henan Province, to serve his sentence.
Biography of Min Liangchen: Born in August 1956, a native of Shangcheng County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, pen name Xie Tian. Former editor of the factory newspaper of the Second Henan Textile Machinery Factory, editor of supplements and commentary sections at multiple newspapers and magazines, renowned essayist, essay writer and current-affairs commentator, and Chinese political prisoner. He left school at an early age and began making a living as a teenager. During the Cultural Revolution, while working on a farm in the countryside as a result of the Chinese Communist government’s “Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside” movement—also known as the rustication of educated youth or the “sent-down youth” movement, a nationwide political campaign launched by the Chinese Communist government under Mao Zedong from the 1950s to 1978—he worked as an informal teacher. In June 1980, he was recruited as a worker by a state-owned enterprise. Beginning in 1986, he published many articles in newspapers and periodicals, including the essays “A Preference for Reading Lu Xun,” “The Self-Statement of ‘Someone’” and “Sending My Feelings from Afar.” In 1993, he transferred to the enterprise’s newspaper, Henan Second Textile Machinery News, as an editor. In 1998, because his employer was performing very poorly and his August and September wages had not been paid, he left the enterprise and went north to seek a living. Initially, he worked as a periodical editor at Essay World under the Hebei Daily. In spring 1999, he became a supplement editor at City Morning Post, newly founded under Henan Daily, mainly editing essays, prose, stories and commentary. In July 2002, because City Morning Post was merged into Dahe Daily under Henan Daily, he became an editor in the commentary and news sections of Dahe Daily. In spring 2003, he became a commentary-section editor and commentator at Zhengzhou Evening News, remaining there until taking early retirement at the end of August 2013 because of an eye disease; he formally retired in 2016. Since the mid-1980s, he has published approximately 2 million Chinese characters of essays, prose, current-affairs commentary, academic criticism, cultural pieces and poetry in about 300 newspapers and periodicals in China and overseas. He has also maintained columns in City Morning Post, China Economic Times, Youth Times, Zhengzhou Evening News, Quality Miles magazine, Consensus Net, Aisixiang, Blog China and “Dongwang,” affiliated with Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily News. His articles were reprinted by more than 100 newspapers, periodicals and websites, including Newspaper Digest, Writer’s Digest, Chinese and Foreign Periodicals Digest, Xinhua Digest, Selected Essays, Reader, Humanities and Prose and overseas Boxun. Large numbers of his manuscripts remain scattered across online forums, mainly as “social essays.” In recent years, because he published social and cultural essays mainly in Hong Kong newspapers and overseas, and because the critical nature of his writing displeased certain senior Chinese Communist officials, he repeatedly angered the relevant departments and was summoned twice for admonishment within two years, nearly losing his job. In 2007 and 2012, he edited and published Why Is Yu Dan So Popular? and self-published three collections of essays: Hu Shi and Tolerance, History and Truth and Singing Freely. It is said that his computer files still contain many essays criticizing society that are difficult to publish as collections for political reasons. In April 2024, he was suddenly arrested by police from the Zhongyuan District of Zhengzhou, Henan, and became unreachable. It was later learned that he had previously published 290 articles overseas and was therefore accused of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On April 11, 2025, it was learned that his case had been prosecuted by the Zhongyuan District People’s Procuratorate in Zhengzhou and transferred to the court, and he soon stood trial at the Zhongyuan District Court in Zhengzhou. In January 2026, he was sentenced to three years. His sentence ends in April 2027. He had previously been detained at Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center (northeast of the intersection of Hanqi Road and Weiyi Road, Huiji District, Zhengzhou, Henan Province; postal code: 450043). In July 2026, it was learned that he had been transferred to Henan No. 2 Prison in Xinxiang, Henan Province.

14/Xue Shunrong: Falun Gong practitioner Xue Shunrong, sentenced to six years, cruelly persecuted in Qinghai Women’s Prison and reduced to skin and bones
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 20, 2026, this website learned that Xue Shunrong, a Falun Gong practitioner sentenced to six years, had been cruelly persecuted in Qinghai Women’s Prison and reduced to skin and bones.
Biography of Xue Shunrong: A Falun Gong practitioner from Falinchuan Township, Huzhu County, Qinghai Province; female, born in 1975. In 2015, Xue Shunrong filed a complaint against Jiang Zemin, the chief culprit in the persecution of Falun Gong. In March 2016, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate controlled by the Chinese Communist Party returned the complaint to the Haidong regional public security bureau. She was immediately arrested and beaten until she was covered in blood and wounds. On July 6, 2023, the newly appointed National Security Brigade of Huzhu County broke into Xue Shunrong’s home, arrested her and ransacked the house. She was subsequently criminally detained, formally arrested and prosecuted. On May 8, 2024, the Ping’an District Court in Haidong sentenced her to six years based on materials fabricated by the Huzhu County Public Security Bureau under the Qinghai Provincial Public Security Department. She is currently detained at Xining Women’s Prison in Qinghai Province. Her sentence ends on July 5, 2029. In prison, police and inmates have subjected her to various forms of cruel abuse, including not allowing her to eat or sleep, prolonged solitary confinement and placement in a strict-management team. Her family has also been refused visits and refused permission to send her goods. Once healthy, she has now been tortured until she is emaciated and haggard.

(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 19, 2026, this website learned that Dai Zhichao’s case at Early Rain Covenant Church had been transferred to the procuratorate. In addition to inciting subversion of state power, he has also been charged with organizing an illegal gathering.
According to a recent update from Dai Zhichao’s wife, Lu Lingzhi: “After half a year, the case has been transferred to the procuratorate. In addition to inciting subversion of state power, another charge of organizing an illegal gathering has been added. This makes me feel heavy-hearted. The lawyer was able to meet him successfully yesterday, which gave me some comfort. Thank you all for your concern on Zhichao’s behalf. Not being able to be by my side during childbirth has always been his greatest regret. I ask the Lord to continue to rule over the coming procuratorate stage.”
Biography of Dai Zhichao: Born in 1990, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Christian, preacher at Chengdu Early Rain Covenant Church, victim in the “Early Rain Covenant case,” and Chinese prisoner of conscience. He believed in Jesus Christ from his youth. After graduating from university, he first sought employment in Chongqing. In 2013, he entered a training program at Liren University in Beijing—known as Lida, a private university in mainland China—and studied Christianity and political philosophy for one week in Chengdu, Sichuan, becoming a student of Pastor Wang Yi. After the training, he returned to Chongqing to continue working, but soon felt called and resolutely resigned to serve full-time at Mount Olive Reformed Church in Bazhong City. In August 2017, with the support and encouragement of Mount Olive Church, he began studying diligently at Huaxi Covenant Seminary in Chengdu to better equip himself. However, in March 2021, Mount Olive Reformed Church was severely hit by a crackdown by the Chinese Communist authorities and was banned by the Sichuan Provincial Civil Affairs Department. After graduating from seminary, he therefore began serving full-time as a preacher at Chengdu Early Rain Covenant Church. The December 9, 2018, Early Rain Covenant case occurred, in which more than 100 believers were arrested or summoned by Chengdu police. He was also criminally detained for bravely writing a prayer letter for the church, and was released on bail pending trial for one year more than three months later. The police then forcibly sent him to Liangping District, Chongqing, his wife’s hometown. In July 2020, he returned to Chengdu with his wife and child. Despite the authorities’ severe persecution of the church, he continued to bravely participate in church service, using his passionate writing, preaching and experiences of suffering to inspire many people to learn about and accept the gospel that “Christ is Lord and grace reigns.” For this reason, beginning in September 2022, he was closely watched by the Chengdu authorities and placed under long-term house arrest. He was stopped whenever he tried to leave the residential compound and was even slapped. On February 12, 2023, when he tried to leave to attend a worship service, many residential-compound staff again guarded and stopped him downstairs, so he had to attend the service online at home. When police pounded on his door and tried to speak with him, he clearly told them to “use the power in your hands cautiously and stop persecuting the church,” and invited them to watch the live-streamed Sunday service with him. On December 9 of that year, the fifth anniversary of the December 9 Early Rain case, local authorities again used telephone warnings, visits and threats, surveillance, summonses, power cuts and other forms of harassment and disruption to prevent Early Rain Covenant Church pastors, co-workers and believers from participating in online activities. He was again criminally detained on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and was released on bail one month later. As the Chinese Communist authorities escalated their nationwide persecution of house churches, on January 6, 2026, Early Rain Covenant Church again suffered large-scale, cross-regional persecution in Chengdu and Deyang. He, church elder Li Yingqiang and seven other pastors, co-workers and believers were arrested, became unreachable or had their freedom restricted. He had previously been notified not to leave his residential jurisdiction. On January 6, he was taken from the church office, his home was searched, and he became unreachable. To date, the specific charges against most of the pastors and co-workers remain unclear, and their families have not received legal documents, although it is known that lawyers have become involved. He was subsequently criminally detained, formally arrested and prosecuted. The charges are inciting subversion of state power and organizing an illegal gathering. He is currently detained at Deyang Detention Center in Sichuan Province.

16/Zan Aizong: Zhejiang independent writer Zan Aizong, sentenced to three years for holding a sea memorial for Liu Xiaobo, transferred to Hangzhou Eastern Suburban Prison
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 17, 2026, this website learned that Zhejiang independent writer Zan Aizong, sentenced to three years for holding a sea memorial for Liu Xiaobo, was transferred on May 14, 2026, from Gongshu District Detention Center in Hangzhou to Hangzhou Eastern Suburban Prison. Prison correspondence address: Prison Administration Section, Hangzhou Eastern Suburban Prison; for Zan Aizong; postal code: 311201. In July 2024, Zan Aizong was arrested for participating in a sea memorial for Liu Xiaobo at the mouth of the Qiantang River in Zhejiang organized by Zhejiang citizens. In February 2026, he was sentenced to three years for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” with his sentence ending on July 19, 2027. He had previously been detained at Gongshu District Detention Center in Hangzhou.
Biography of Zan Aizong: Born in October 1969, a native of Taihe County, Anhui Province, resident of Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Christian, independent writer, using the online names “Electronic Love,” “Aphasia Patient” and “Jiangnan Express,” among others. Winner of the 2006 Lin Zhao Memorial Award, member of the Independent Chinese PEN Center (CIPC), dissident and Chinese political prisoner. He was formerly a reporter for China Ocean News, head of its Zhejiang bureau and a columnist for Sina.com, known as a free writer who used his real name online. Because he advocated free writing and citizens’ basic rights, including press freedom, and because his works and book projects covered a broad range, he published articles in Southern Weekly, China Youth Daily, Window of the South and other media. Driven by his persistent pursuit of freedom, he often commented on human-rights issues in China and became a key target of local-government monitoring and suppression. Every year on dates deemed sensitive by the Chinese Communist Party—such as the convening of the “Two Sessions,” the June 4 anniversary and the opening of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023—he was either forced to travel or closely followed by police for “stability maintenance.” From February to March 2024, as the Party’s “Two Sessions” approached, he was repeatedly harassed, questioned and forced to travel by Gongshu District police wherever he was, whether at home or attending worship at church, causing enormous pressure and difficulty in his life. He therefore had to issue a public statement expressing his position: “I obey the law and hope for basic freedoms and rights protected by law, including freedom of speech and expression, freedom of publication, freedom of belief, freedom of assembly, freedom of association and so on, as well as respect for these freedoms. These freedoms and rights have boundaries, and I hope to act within those boundaries.” On July 13, 2024, the seventh anniversary of the death of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, he and seven others, including Democratic Party member Zou Wei, went to the mouth of the Qiantang River in Haining, Zhejiang, to hold a sea memorial for Liu Xiaobo and posted some photographs of the event online. In the early hours of the following day, six of them were taken from their homes by Hangzhou police. Five were released after being admonished and questioned, but he and Zou Wei remained detained and were forced to travel because the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th Central Committee Third Plenum was about to open in Beijing. After returning home, on July 20, he and Zou Wei were again criminally detained by Gongshu District police in Hangzhou on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On August 29 of the same year, the two were formally arrested by Gongshu District on the same charge. They were later prosecuted. The cases of Zou Wei and Zan Aizong went to trial at a court in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, at 2:30 p.m. on February 13, 2026. Zou Wei was sentenced to three years and six months, and Zan Aizong to three years. Zan Aizong’s sentence ends on July 19, 2027. He had previously been detained at Gongshu District Detention Center in Hangzhou, also known as Banshan Detention Center (No. 342-68 Banshan Road, Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province; postal code: 310011). He was transferred to Hangzhou Eastern Suburban Prison on May 14, 2026.

20/Dai Yaoting: Dai Yaoting, sentenced to 10 years in the Hong Kong 47-person case, spends his 62nd birthday in prison
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 14, 2026, this website learned that on July 12, 2026, Mr. Dai Yaoting, sentenced to 10 years in the Hong Kong 47-person case, spent his 62nd birthday in prison. On November 19, 2024, Mr. Dai Yaoting was sentenced to 10 years for conspiracy to subvert state power in the Hong Kong 47-person case.
Biography of Dai Yaoting: Born on July 12, 1964; English name Benny Tai Yiu-ting; formerly a British Hong Kong national, now a citizen of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong) and the United Kingdom; Christian; Hong Kong legal scholar; former associate dean and associate professor of the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong; a “mastermind” behind the disruption of Hong Kong in the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party; one of the “Occupy Central trio”; pro-democracy opinion leader; and Chinese political prisoner. He grew up in Hong Kong. In the 1980s, after graduating from secondary school, he studied law at the University of Hong Kong. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in law, he earned a postgraduate certificate in law and a master’s degree in law from the University of London in the United Kingdom. In his early years, he had strong feelings for China and enjoyed reading Chinese literature and history. Later, while at university, exposure to democratic and liberal ideas led him to realize that a country’s strength lies not merely in wealth and military power, but in moving toward constitutional government. He therefore devoted himself to studying constitutions, constitutionalism, public law, the relationship between law, politics and religion, human rights and participatory democracy, and became a pro-democracy opinion leader. After graduating from university, he worked as a legislative assistant in the office of pro-democracy leader Martin Lee Chu-ming and was one of two student representatives on the Basic Law Consultative Committee. He also criticized and questioned the implementation of “one country, two systems.” He later taught as an associate professor in the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law for many years and served as associate dean of the Faculty of Law from 2000 to 2008. In 2013, he became known for proposing the idea of “Occupy Central with Love and Peace.” In February 2016, April 2017 and 2019, he proposed the Thunderbolt Plan, the Storm Plan and the pro-democracy camp’s 35+ primary election, respectively, winning strong support and responses from Hong Kong citizens but repeatedly coming under attack from pro-Beijing establishment figures and media. In 2019, after the National Security Law formally took effect in Hong Kong, he was quickly arrested by national-security police for initiating the Occupy Central movement and allegedly “inciting others” or “inciting others to incite” public nuisance at various locations in Central and Admiralty in September 2014. On April 9, 2019, the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court found him guilty of “conspiracy to commit public nuisance” and “inciting others to commit public nuisance,” and on April 24 sentenced him to 16 months in prison. He appealed and applied for bail. On August 15, 2019, after serving four months, he was granted bail of HK$100,000 pending appeal, but had to surrender his travel documents and could not leave Hong Kong. On March 4, 2020, the High Court of Hong Kong revoked his bail and he returned to prison. On January 6, 2021, he was again arrested under the National Security Law on suspicion of “conspiracy to subvert state power,” together with participants in the 2020 Legislative Council primary election of the pro-democracy camp—47 people in total, later known as the 47-person case. After more than four years in detention, on May 30, 2024, 45 of the 47 defendants were found guilty by the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court. Dai and Au Nok-hin, Andrew Chiu Ka-yin, Gordon Ng Ching-lam and Wu Chi-hang were identified as organizers of the primary and deemed principal offenders. On November 19, 2024, all 47 defendants were sentenced together at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court. Dai was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with his sentence ending in January 2031. The others received sentences ranging from four years and two months to seven years and nine months. He is currently serving his sentence at Shek Pik Prison on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

21/Zhang Zhan: Famous human-rights defender and citizen journalist Zhang Zhan receives Liu Xiaobo Human Rights Award in prison; writer Yan Geling accepts it on her behalf
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 14, 2026, this website learned that recently, famous human-rights defender and citizen journalist Zhang Zhan received the Liu Xiaobo Human Rights Award in prison, with writer Yan Geling accepting it on her behalf. The award ceremony was held on July 13, 2026, in Leipzig, Germany. The award was jointly founded by “Voice of Europe” and the UK-based “China Studies.” The first recipients of the Liu Xiaobo Human Rights Award were Roland Kühne, a teacher at a vocational university in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and a pastor, and Chinese citizen journalist Zhang Zhan. Writer Yan Geling accepted the award on Zhang Zhan’s behalf. Zhang Zhan’s condition in prison: Since Zhang Zhan was sentenced to four years on September 19, 2025, the authorities have repeatedly refused, obstructed and intimidated lawyers seeking to visit her. Since she was again arrested and persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party on August 28, 2024, she has been imprisoned for 17 full months. She has never compromised and has remained in a state of semi-fasting. At times she has been force-fed. She is physically weak and suffers from severe stomach disease. CHRD is extremely concerned that Zhang Zhan has been deprived of her right to appeal and to meet with lawyers, that her illness is not receiving timely treatment while she is isolated from the outside world, and that she may face abuse for refusing to cooperate with the prison’s “education and reform,” placing her life in danger.
Biography of Zhang Zhan: Female, born on September 2, 1983, a native of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, resident of Pudong New Area, Shanghai, former executive at a securities company in Shanghai, former practicing lawyer, citizen journalist, human-rights defender and Chinese political prisoner. She studied finance at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and obtained a master’s degree. Beginning in 2010, she left her hometown to seek work in Shanghai. She willingly gave up a highly paid position at a securities company in pursuit of freedom and ideals. She worked as a lawyer but was later retaliated against for publishing articles online criticizing current affairs and was forced to leave the legal profession. Dissatisfied with the political situation under the Chinese Communist authorities, she for a long time published criticism of “one-party dictatorship,” corruption and abuse of power on online platforms. Because her content was sharp and targeted, she was repeatedly questioned, summoned and threatened by Shanghai police. Since 2019, she widely reposted videos and photographs of Hong Kong’s “anti-extradition” protests on WeChat and other social-media applications. In particular, after holding an umbrella on a Shanghai street and calling for an end to the socialist system and the removal of the Communist Party, she was criminally detained by Huangpu District police in Shanghai on September 9, 2019, on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” During this period, she was twice subjected to compulsory “psychiatric evaluations” and was not released on bail until November 26. Since the beginning of 2020, as the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic spread, she went to Wuhan in person, despite the risks, to investigate and report on the epidemic in the field in order to obtain firsthand data. This quickly provoked extreme dissatisfaction and rapid repression by the authorities. On May 14, 2020, she was taken by Wuhan police from a temporary lodging hotel, and the following day was criminally detained by Pudong New Area police in Shanghai on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On June 19, she was formally arrested by the Pudong New Area Procuratorate. On September 18, her case was transferred to the Pudong New Area Court in Shanghai. On December 28, 2020, the court sentenced her at first instance to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” with her sentence ending on May 13, 2024. Her family’s requests to visit her were reportedly refused for a long time. Because she went on prolonged hunger strikes in prison to protest, she was force-fed and became extremely weak. Zhang Zhan previously served her sentence at Shanghai Women’s Prison. On August 25, 2024, she went to Gansu to rescue Zhang Pan. On August 28, she was again arrested by the authorities and criminally detained. She was formally arrested on November 18, 2024. She was later prosecuted and stood trial at the Pudong New Area People’s Court in Shanghai on September 19, 2025. The court announced its verdict: she was found guilty of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and sentenced to four years in prison. Her sentence ends on August 28, 2028. She had previously been detained at Pudong Detention Center. She is currently imprisoned at Shanghai Women’s Prison.

22/Au Kam San: Macao’s first national-security case: Case of former Macao legislator and central figure in Macao’s pro-democracy camp Au Kam San completes pretrial proceedings
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 11, 2026, this website learned that on July 9, 2026, the Primary Court of the Macao Special Administrative Region announced that it had completed the pretrial proceedings in Au Kam San’s case on July 2, maintained the prosecution’s charges and would schedule the case for trial. In July 2025, Au Kam San was arrested, becoming the first person in Macao arrested under the Law on Safeguarding National Security. Au Kam San was charged with three offenses, including “subversion of state power,” carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years.
Biography of Au Kam San: Born on April 30, 1957; Portuguese name Au Kam San; ancestral home in Xinxing County, Guangdong; formerly a Portuguese Macao national, now a dual national of the People’s Republic of China (Macao) and Portugal; former teacher at Macao’s Ilha Verde Primary School; later a well-known social activist; former founding member of the New Macao Society; former chair of the Macao Democratic Development Union; vice-chair of the General Assembly of Macao Community Development Initiative; Macao legislator; central figure in Macao’s pro-democracy camp; and Chinese political prisoner. He grew up in Macao. At university, he studied for a bachelor’s degree in social sciences at the University of East Asia in Macao and later obtained a master’s degree in education from South China Normal University in mainland China. After completing his studies, he returned to Macao and worked as a teacher at Ilha Verde Primary School. In 1989, the mainland Chinese pro-democracy movement occurred, and several groups in Macao organized marches and various forms of support. He actively participated and joined the political discussion group “Democracy Salon,” later renamed the Macao Democratic Development Union. After the June Fourth incident, however, he and several other pro-democracy figures were subjected to multiple pressures, including threats to their careers, family pressure and street violence, forcing them to resign or be dismissed. As a result, apart from him and Ng Kuok Cheong, most members of the union dispersed. The two later entered politics and were directly elected to the Legislative Assembly, while continuing to organize June 4 commemorations until the Macao authorities controlled by the Chinese Communist Party banned them. In 1993, he began serving as a municipal councilor in Macao. Four years later, after Macao’s return to China, he served continuously for 20 years as a legislator in five terms, until announcing in the 2021 legislative election that he would not seek re-election. In his social-activism work, in July 1992 he and Ng Kuok Cheong and others founded the pro-democracy group New Macao Society, whose purpose was to “take root in Macao, study Macao’s social conditions and promote the region’s modernization.” The group used professional knowledge to study all aspects of Macao society and made full use of legislators’ powers to submit proposals on people’s livelihoods and government policy failures and convey residents’ demands. It therefore received broad public support and became one of Macao’s most important pro-democracy associations. Several years later, internal disputes arose between the “young faction,” which advocated active participation in social movements, and the “elder faction,” which favored a parliamentary route. In January 2016, he wrote to the society to withdraw, citing its “departure from the principles and beliefs on which it was founded.” He later founded another political party, the Macao Community Development Initiative, and successfully won re-election as a legislator the following year. In September 2018, after accepting media interviews about public consultations on the controversial Interception of Communications and Protection of Privacy Legal Regime, he questioned whether police surveillance of him exceeded legal limits, saying: “Under the law, if the police monitor telephone calls, they must first obtain a judge’s approval.” He said that although he supported strengthening police oversight mechanisms, they needed real investigative powers to be effective. The Macao secretary for security criticized his comments without naming him, saying they were “reckless assertions, wild speculation and defamatory.” The police later pursued criminal responsibility over his remarks, making him the first such case since Macao’s return to China. The matter quickly sparked heated discussion in society and online. People almost unanimously criticized the police and judicial authorities’ handling as unreasonable, while also expressing dissatisfaction with the local government. In response, a current-affairs commentator said that the public should pay greater attention to “how to improve oversight mechanisms and information transparency in law, to ensure the public’s right to know and residents’ privacy.” On April 8, 2021, during a plenary meeting of the Legislative Assembly, he mentioned that the National People’s Congress Standing Committee’s amendments to Hong Kong’s electoral system were “destroying Hong Kong’s democratic universal suffrage system.” After he made the statement, five legislators, including Si Ka Lon, Chan Hong and Chui Sai Peng, demanded that he explain and withdraw it, saying his remarks were one-sided and ignored that some people in Hong Kong sought democracy by means of secession. In 2021, under pressure, he announced that he would not participate in the Legislative Assembly election—actually because he was disqualified from running for allegedly failing to uphold allegiance to the Macao SAR—ending his 20-year career as a directly elected legislator. On July 30, 2025, he was suddenly arrested by the Macao Judicial Police on suspicion of violating Article 13 of Macao’s National Security Law, “the crime of establishing contacts with organizations, groups or individuals outside the Macao Special Administrative Region to commit acts endangering national security.” He was transferred to the procuratorate for investigation the following day. He was accused of “since 2022, allegedly colluding with multiple overseas anti-China organizations, providing them with large quantities of false and inflammatory data for continued public exhibition overseas and online.” After Macao’s National Security Law took effect in 2023, he allegedly continued using the data to “assist others in collecting or openly disseminating false and clearly distorted information, thereby inciting hatred toward the Central People’s Government of China, prompting anti-China forces to take hostile action against China and the Macao SAR, and disrupting Macao SAR elections, seriously endangering national security.” When he was arrested, his home was searched and some books were confiscated. His wife, Cheng Miu-shan, was also taken away and later listed as a witness in the case. In response, the European External Action Service immediately issued a statement on August 2 of the same year condemning Macao’s arrest of him and criticizing the move for deepening concerns about the erosion of political pluralism and freedom of expression in Macao. He is currently detained at Macao Detention Center.

23/Ji Xiaolong: Shanghai human-rights defender Ji Xiaolong spends his 50th birthday in prison
(Reported by the Information Center of China Human Rights Defenders) On July 11, 2026, this website learned that July 10, 2026, was the 50th birthday of human-rights defender Ji Xiaolong. In 2018, he launched the “Toilet Revolution.” In 2019, he was sentenced to three years and six months and later released after completing his sentence. In August 2022, during Shanghai’s COVID-19 lockdown, he sent a real-name petition to Li Qiang, then secretary of the Shanghai Party Committee, demanding that he step down and assume responsibility for major accidents. He was subsequently arrested and, in 2023, sentenced to four years and six months for picking quarrels and provoking trouble. He is currently serving his sentence at Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai.
Biography of Ji Xiaolong: Born on July 10, 1976, a native of Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, resident of Mingdu Huayuan, Yangshe Town, Zhangjiagang, Christian, democrat, human-rights defender and Chinese political prisoner. In June 2015, he was summoned by Pudong New Area police in Shanghai for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” because of promoting democratic ideas and was placed under administrative detention for 10 days. On July 20, 2018, after publishing an online article calling on democrats to respond to the “Toilet Revolution,” he wrote slogans with a marker on toilet doors in public places such as hospitals and universities, including “We cannot afford to treat serious illnesses; Fat Xi recklessly scatters money; amending the Constitution to proclaim himself emperor; when will the suffering end? Down with the Communist Party. Return power to the people and end the people’s suffering. Overthrow the Xi core and refuse to follow the Cultural Revolution road.” Many people responded in a short time, and he was criminally detained by Pudong New Area police on July 27, 2018, on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On August 25 of the same year, he was placed under residential surveillance at a designated location. On September 30, he was formally arrested on the same charge and detained at Pudong New Area Detention Center in Shanghai. During his detention, police repeatedly threatened to make him “die” and used cold temperatures to force him to confess, causing him to become physically weak and vomit blood. His family’s attempts to send him a down jacket and copies of the Bible were refused. On November 30, 2018, the Pudong New Area Procuratorate prosecuted his case at the Pudong New Area Court in Shanghai. On January 14, 2019, the court sentenced him at first instance to three years and six months for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” He was later sent to the seventh prison area of Baimailing Prison in Shanghai. He was released after completing his sentence on February 9, 2022. He was abused while serving his sentence. Ji Xiaolong was released in 2022 during the pandemic. During Shanghai’s lockdown that year, he continued speaking out for residents and published an online petition titled “Stop Movement-Style Epidemic Control Immediately, Relieve Difficulties and Provide Relief,” demanding that the authorities stop movement-style epidemic-control measures and publicly holding Li Qiang—then secretary of the Shanghai Party Committee and now premier—accountable by name, demanding that he step down and assume responsibility for major accidents. On August 31, 2022, he was again taken from his home by police from the Meiyuan Xincun police station in Shanghai and later criminally detained by Pudong New Area police for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” On September 23 of the same year, he was formally arrested by the Pudong New Area Procuratorate on the same charge. In October 2023, Ji Xiaolong was sentenced at first instance to four years and six months for picking quarrels and provoking trouble. The prosecution used his public criticism of national leaders on Twitter as evidence of the crime. The second-instance hearing was held secretly in March 2024, and in April the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate Court upheld the original judgment in the final ruling. In 2022, Ji Xiaolong received that year’s “Young China Human Rights Award.” Ji Xiaolong is currently serving his sentence at Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai, with his sentence ending on February 28, 2027.

Biography of Shao Mingliang: Born on July 2, 1967, a native of Pukou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, resident of No. 19-1, Xiangtang Village, Huaguang Community, Jiangpu Subdistrict, Pukou District, Nanjing, disabled dissident, founder of the “China People’s Restoration Party,” and Chinese political prisoner. He has opposed the Communist Party publicly because he rejects Marxism-Leninism and has suffered extreme suppression and persecution by the authorities, including being confined at home in Xiangtang Village for a long time and prohibited from going out to shop or seek medical care. In 2013, he was beaten by police for holding signs promoting constitutional government, democracy, freedom and human rights outside Nanjing Audit University, in the busy area of Pukou District and in front of the Pukou District government. He was later forcibly sent to psychiatric hospitals by police several times. On January 25, 2014, he was run over by a vehicle in front of the Pukou District government in Nanjing with the government’s tacit approval, resulting in two years of hospitalization and lifelong disabilities, including fractures to his pelvis, sacrum, pubic bone, ribs, spine, cervical spine and sternum, as well as injuries to his head, lungs and spinal cord. He can live only with a wheelchair. In March and June 2016, he was criminally detained twice for anti-Party speech and thereafter remained confined at home. On October 17, 2017, when his residence was searched, police found words inside such as “Overthrow the three mountains of communism, socialism and collectivism” and “Try Mao, Deng, Jiang, Hu and Xi and the principal culprits of their criminal ruling group.” The front wall outside the home bore slogans including “The People’s Restoration Party commemorates 89 and 64” and “The People’s Restoration Party is China’s own political party.” Nanjing police placed him under administrative detention for 10 days. On March 14, 2018, during the Chinese Communist Party’s Two Sessions, he was placed under administrative detention for 14 days by Nanjing police for posting anti-Party and mocking remarks about constitutional amendments, and was violently beaten by police during the detention. On March 16, 2019, he was again arrested by Pukou District police in Nanjing and became unreachable. On April 22, 2019, he was formally arrested by the Pukou District Procuratorate on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and detained at Pukou District Detention Center in Nanjing. The allegation was that his posting on WeChat and dozens of Twitter posts concerning democracy and constitutional government constituted illegal conduct. On July 24, 2019, his case went to trial at the Pukou District Court in Nanjing, and he was later sentenced to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” He was dissatisfied and said he would appeal. In January 2020, the Nanjing Intermediate Court of Jiangsu Province upheld the original judgment on appeal, with his sentence ending on March 15, 2023. During his imprisonment, one of Shao Mingliang’s hands was beaten until it was disabled. After his release, he remained under close surveillance and was unable to obtain medical treatment. In the early hours of June 17, 2023, Shao Mingliang was illegally arrested and detained by police from the Zhujiang police station of the Pukou branch. He was tortured and abused during the detention, and was never given a written administrative penalty decision. After being sent home, Shao Mingliang remained under house arrest and surrounded at home, and no one was allowed to visit him. On the afternoon of July 6, 2023, because his physical disability prevented him from cooking for himself, Shao Mingliang ordered food online. When the delivery worker brought the food to his door, police from the police station forcibly took him away and smashed the door frame of his home, ultimately leaving Shao Mingliang without food. On September 22, 2023, Shao Mingliang was again arrested by Nanjing police and has been detained ever since. He is currently detained at Nanjing No. 2 Detention Center, formed by merging the former Gulou District and Jianye District detention centers, at No. 19 Xiawei Village, Jianye District, Nanjing. At 9 a.m. on April 14, 2025, the case against Shao Mingliang for picking quarrels and provoking trouble and assaulting a police officer went to trial at the Pukou District Court in Nanjing. The spectator seats were filled with people occupying seats, and the defense lawyer insisted on a not-guilty defense. The collegial panel found Shao Mingliang guilty of picking quarrels and provoking trouble and assaulting a police officer and imposed a combined sentence of five years and six months. His sentence ends on March 21, 2029.

4, Zhang Yi: Born in 1968, a native of Wuhan, Hubei Province, Wuhan student leader during the “1989 student movement,” democratic dissident, former volunteer with the Wuhan Mutual Aid Association (group), rights defender, human-rights defender and Chinese political prisoner. In 1989, he was a law student at Wuhan University, participated in the “1989 student movement” and was one of the student leaders in Wuhan. He was subsequently arrested by the authorities and sentenced to two years for “the crime of gathering a crowd to disrupt traffic order,” serving his sentence at Hongshan Prison. He was severely tortured in prison, permanently losing hearing in one ear. After his release, he continued to hold dissenting views and for many years commemorated “June 4” and defended citizens’ rights, so the Wuhan authorities made him a key target for stability-maintenance surveillance. In June 2018, he was placed under administrative detention by Wuhan police for posting photographs of Liu Xiaobo’s cenotaph online and planning related commemorative activities. On December 30 of the same year, because he refused to cooperate with the “stability-maintenance requirements” put forward by public-security State Security officers, he was jointly intercepted and beaten by police from the Dongxihu District police and the Changqing Huayuan police station at the entrance to a parking lot beside the “Luo Yutou” restaurant on Lanjiang Road in Hanyang District, Wuhan. During the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, as a volunteer with the Wuhan Mutual Aid Association, whose purpose was to help families of Wuhan victims, he bravely accepted multiple interviews with overseas media and actively called for the rescue of Fang Bin (Fang Bin, CPPC No. 00868, was secretly sentenced to three years for filming videos of hospital deaths during the Wuhan COVID-19 outbreak) and expressed support for Zhang Hai and other rights defenders’ families who had been arrested. As a result, he received more than 10 warnings, admonishments and threats from police. The Wuhan authorities even tried to collect information about him and frame him for “financial fraud” in order to silence him. During this period, his son Zhang Hongyuan also faced the risk of arrest for helping his father accept interviews with overseas media and filming videos of public protests against lockdowns. Zhang Hongyuan was forced to leave China alone in April 2023 and go to the Netherlands to seek political asylum. In June 2026, Zhang Yi planned to travel to Tibet and Xinjiang, but the Exit-Entry Administration refused to issue him a border pass. After repeated negotiations, he was ultimately permitted to travel. On July 1, 2026, while he and his younger brother Zhang Xuan were traveling in Lhasa, both were suddenly taken away by police from Chengguan District, Lhasa. His younger brother was released after giving a statement at the police station, but Zhang Yi was placed under administrative detention for 15 days. The alleged reason was that, while visiting Sera Monastery, he wanted to borrow a prostration mat from Tibetans but, because of the language barrier, showed the other person a photograph of the Dalai Lama on his phone. The police learned of this and quickly took him away. On July 18, the 17th day of his detention, his younger brother received a call from Lhasa police saying that Zhang Yi had been criminally detained on suspicion of “incitement.” The police asked the family to transfer living expenses to him and said the detention notice would be mailed to the family’s home in Wuhan a few days later. The family later received the detention notice, which showed that Zhang Yi was criminally detained by the Lhasa Public Security Bureau on July 18, 2026, on suspicion of “inciting secession,” and was being held at Lhasa Detention Center.

6. Wu Shidong: Born on July 5, 2000, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong), a resident of Sai Kung District, Hong Kong, a Christian, a service worker at a catering company, a core member of the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union” (a political organisation headquartered in Taiwan, abbreviated as the HDIU), a localist democrat and a political prisoner detained in China. He grew up in Hong Kong, lost his father at a young age and has a certain degree of autism. During his school years, he studied at Po Leung Kuk Fung Ching Memorial Primary School and Cheung Pei Shan Memorial College, among others, in Hong Kong’s Sai Kung District, and enjoyed drawing and design. He was kind-hearted and intelligent, but after graduating from secondary school he did not attend university because of his autism and instead chose to work as a service worker at a catering company. In his spare time, however, he displayed an active outlook, followed social and current-affairs information and actively became involved in social movements. The large-scale protest movement that broke out in Hong Kong in 2019 (referring principally to the movement opposing the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance amendment bill) had a profound influence on his thinking. On September 16, 2023, he was baptised into the Christian faith and became a Christian. In January 2025, he began trying to participate in an election, submitting an application to stand as a candidate for the alumni manager position at his former primary school, but ultimately lost. He was later introduced by someone else and joined the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union” (Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, abbreviated as the HDIU). The organisation was originally established in Taiwan on November 6, 2024, by former Hong Kong social-movement activist Jiang Jiawei. It calls itself a “Hong Kong overseas-government political party” and advocates “restoring Hong Kong”/“Hong Kong independence.” Because its aims accorded with his own aspirations, he soon became a core member of the organisation, conducting internal discussions with other members and designing and producing promotional materials through Hong Kong media platforms and Telegram. On July 9, 2025, he and two other core members of the HDIU (a youth surnamed Huang and Chan Tai Sum) were suddenly arrested by police from the Hong Kong National Security Department. Police found on his mobile phone that he had posted a photograph of the “blue-and-white flag” in an online group and referred to it as the “national flag,” and that he had also made suggestions concerning policies to be adopted after Hong Kong independence was achieved. During a search of his residence, officers also found 19 flags relating to independence for Tibet, Guangdong, East Turkestan and the Uyghur people, as well as materials including a draft proposal urging the United States to formulate a “Hong Kong Political Prisoner Rescue Plan.” In response, he said that he agreed with the HDIU’s objective of “Hong Kong independence,” but had participated in only one internal discussion and meeting. When later asked how the HDIU had obtained the flags involved in the case, he said he had purchased them himself and that some had been made either by himself or by others commissioned by him. On the basis of his interrogation statements, National Security Department police believed that he had, “from November 6, 2024, to July 9, 2025, conspired with others in Hong Kong, and conspired with other persons, to organise, plan, carry out or participate in carrying out acts intended to split the country and undermine national unity,” thereby violating the offences of “subversion of state power” and “conspiracy to subvert the state” under the Hong Kong National Security Law. On July 11, 2025, the case against the three was classified by the Hong Kong District Court as one of “conspiracy to subvert the state.” On September 9 of the same year, because he had no lawyer representing him, he applied to the Hong Kong High Court for bail on his own, but the application was rejected by a judge designated under the National Security Law. On January 22, 2026, the case against the three was heard again in the District Court. The youth surnamed Huang pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years and six months, while Wu Shidong and Chan Tai Sum were remanded for retrial after not pleading guilty. On July 3, 2026, Wu Shidong and Chan Tai Sum both admitted that they had participated in the HDIU and were active members of the political party, had participated in Hong Kong legislative elections during the period of their activities, and had organised a flash-mob action to raise black flags in Taiwan on July 1, 2025. The two therefore indicated that they admitted the offence of conspiracy to subvert the state. In mitigation, however, the defence said that “he was diagnosed with autism in the first grade of primary school and has received treatment from psychiatrists and psychological experts.” His joining the HDIU was purely out of “curiosity,” and he had actively participated in counselling after committing the offence and expressed remorse; the defence therefore asked the court to exercise discretion in dealing with his case. The designated judge questioned whether designing the flags himself could be regarded as an offence committed out of “momentary curiosity,” as the defence claimed, and said that judgment in the case would be handed down after a further hearing on July 29, 2026. His current place of detention is unknown.

7. Chan Tai Sum: Born in 1999, a dual national of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong) and Portugal, English name Chan Tai Sum, a Christian, a delivery worker, a member of the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union” (a political organisation headquartered in Taiwan, abbreviated as the HDIU), a localist democrat and a political prisoner detained in China. He grew up in Hong Kong. After graduating from secondary school, he attended university and obtained a bachelor’s degree in fine-art design from the Institute of Vocational Education. Because he has autism, however, he chose to work as a delivery worker after reaching adulthood. In his spare time, he took a keen interest in current-affairs news and social issues. From August 19 to December 13, 2021, he continuously posted current-affairs material and commentary in the two groups on Hong Kong’s LIHKG discussion forum (commonly known as LIHKG, a Hong Kong online forum) and on Telegram, and called for demonstrations in several shopping districts in Hong Kong on the eve of Christmas. As a result, he was reported by online monitors and suppressed by the Hong Kong government. On December 16 of the same year, he was swiftly arrested by Hong Kong national-security police and accused of making statements such as “spreading rumours about the ‘organ harvesting’ of organs by the ‘Falun Gong’ cult, inciting Hong Kong independence, and even inciting people to launch a war if necessary.” His case was later heard in the Hong Kong District Court, where 39 “seditious statements” he had posted online were examined and debated. On October 26, 2022, the District Court found him guilty of “inciting others to participate in an unlawful assembly” and three counts of “doing an act with seditious intent,” on the grounds that he had attempted to launch a Hong Kong independence revolution and made seditious statements. On November 15 of the same year, the court finally sentenced him to one year in prison; he was released after completing his sentence on December 15. While in prison, he was baptised into the Christian faith and became a Christian. On November 6, 2024, former Hong Kong social-movement activist Jiang Jiawei established the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union” (Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, abbreviated as the HDIU) in Taiwan. The organisation called itself a “Hong Kong overseas-government political party” and advocated “restoring Hong Kong/Hong Kong independence.” After being introduced by someone in January 2025, he joined it and became a core member. On July 9, 2025, he and two other core members (the youth surnamed Huang and Wu Shidong) were suddenly arrested by police from the Hong Kong National Security Department and treated as one case. The National Security Department later accused him of violating the offences of “subversion of state power” and “conspiracy to subvert the state” under the Hong Kong National Security Law. It alleged that after joining the organisation, from February 2025 onward he had made suggestions with others in the HDIU’s communications-app groups regarding the preparation of organisational promotional materials, including participating in LINE-group discussions about the organisation’s name, emblem, promotional materials, data on police officers and their families, and establishing contacts with foreign organisations. On July 11 of the same year, the case against the three was classified by the Hong Kong District Court as one of “conspiracy to subvert the state.” On January 22, 2026, the case against the three was heard again in the District Court. The youth surnamed Huang pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years and six months, while Chan Tai Sum and Wu Shidong were remanded for retrial because they had not pleaded guilty. It was learned on July 3, 2026, that Chan Tai Sum and Wu Shidong both admitted participating in the “Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union,” being active members of the political organisation, participating in Hong Kong legislative elections during the period of their activities, and organising a flash-mob action to raise black flags in Taiwan on July 1, 2025. The two therefore admitted the offence of conspiracy to subvert the state. In mitigation, however, his defence lawyer said that he had suffered from autism since the age of 12, as shown by medical records. Although he had received treatment, doctors had said that “autism has no medical cure.” As a result, he “encountered many difficulties at work and in life, sought a sense of presence online, and was bullied while on remand,” and the defence therefore asked the court to exercise discretion in dealing with his case. Judge Eddie Yip questioned whether his offending was caused by a mental-health problem, saying instead that it was intended to obtain the benefit of asylum abroad. The judge said that judgment in the case would be handed down after a further hearing on July 29, 2026. His current place of detention is unknown.

Chow Hang-tung: Statement of Plea
The author rejects a 206-page judgment that, they argue, treats belief in ending one-party dictatorship as unconstitutional and criminal. They say law cannot control thoughts, condemn obedience to authoritarian power, and describe ending one-party dictatorship as a responsibility of Hong Kong and Chinese people. The author refuses to apologize for these beliefs, accepts possible imprisonment, and vows to continue pursuing democracy, accountability for the 1989 massacre and a democratic Hong Kong and China.
