Notability
from Wikipedia:Notability (people) Notability on Wikipedia is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice"[1] or "note"[2] – that is, "remarkable"[2] or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"[1]
1. Press coverage
It is not in the interests of the press, young children or sensitive people for graphic pictures of torture in China to be published in mainstream newspapers. If mainstream press are not interested in having information online about such a high profile torture case its a reflection of the mainstream press and supports Ethan Gutmanns explanation of the Third Rail of Journalism. It also demonstrates that the Epoch Times has a strong focus on human rights perhaps unmatched by any mainstream newspaper.
2. Embarrassing
Because you only have to look at the before and after pictures of her face to realise what happened, the Gao Rongrong case is highly embarrassing for the government of 20% of the world's population, which spends lots of money on soft power despite being only 89th on the List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita and having a large gap between rich and poor in China, which means that many people in China are very poor.
3. Stupidity of the people who tortured her
There are probably many ways to torture someone without leaving irrefutable evidence that someone has been tortured. Her torturers demonstrated a lack of intellect and which was compounded by her death, which increased the likelihood of interest in the case.
4. Extreme case
If anyone can find a more extreme case of someone's looks being destroyed by electric shock torture I am interested to know of the case.
5. The Omega Research foundation (one of the sources used) is a significant organisation. No one has written an article about it yet. Googling omega research foundation gives 1,240,000 results and an article could be written about it.
6. Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.
