Huang was detained in October 2019 after publicly supporting sexual assault survivors and creating a platform to promote survivor solidarity. She was released in early 2020, but police kept her passport and continued to surveil her. On September 19, 2021, Huang went missing before a flight; eight days later, RFA reported she was held in extrajudicial detention for allegedly “inciting subversion of state power.” On June 14, 2024, Huang was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
