Prisoner Lists

One of Dui Hua’s main activities is the preparation of lists of Chinese political and religious detainees for submission to the Chinese government. These prisoner lists have played a vital role in the human rights diplomacy between China and other countries and organizations.

Drawing on its prisoner database and years of experience in the selection and presentation of cases, Dui Hua produces many lists each year to hand over to the Chinese government—delivered both directly and through third parties. In addition to delivering its own lists to Chinese officials, Dui Hua has created prisoner lists for use by the United Nations, more than half of the countries holding human rights dialogues with China, heads of state, national legislators, and other NGOs.

Tailored to the particular circumstances in which they are used, the lists have ranged in length from a handful of cases to well over 100 names. The foundation has produced lists highlighting persons imprisoned in a particular province or prison, individuals convicted of a particular category of crime, or obscure cases that are essentially unknown to the outside world and even inside China. As vehicles for expressing concern about individual cases, the lists have contributed directly to better treatment and early release for hundreds of prisoners.
