1. [Shanghai] Ms. Li Hong Being Monitored

Ms. Li Hong was followed by an unidentified man when she went out on the early morning of March 3, 2026, right before the start of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) annual “Two Sessions.” She later learned that the person would receive 200 yuan per day for monitoring her.

The “Two Sessions,” which ran from March 4 to 12, 2026, are annual meetings of the National People’s Congress (China’s legislature body) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (the top political advisory body). The CCP is notorious for intensifying the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners around politically sensitive dates.

Ms. Li and her roommate, Ms. Zhu Caifeng, also a Falun Gong practitioner, were harassed several times by the local community security director at the end of 2025. The officials ordered them to renounce Falun Gong. They refused to comply.

Officer Huang Haitao interrogated her at the Chengzhong Police Station. She was released after admitting that she had put up Falun Gong posters at the bus stops and on utility poles. The police returned to her home the next day and gave her a five-day detention. Due to her advanced age, the detention wasn’t enforced.
