Extra Bio Info:

Yan Fenglin was imprisoned for her religious belief and activity.

On November 5, 2013, authorities detained Yan in Yaohai district, Hefei city, Anhui province, reportedly in relation to her burning of discs containing religious materials for other church members. 

In late 2014, the Yaohai District People’s Court of Hefei, Anhui, sentenced Yan to seven years in prison for "organizing or using a cult to undermine implementation of the law" (Art. 300 CCL).

Yan's sentence should have ended in November 2020.
