Yang Hai / 杨海
Xi’an dissident and 1989 student-movement participant. Sources document detention in the 1990s and during President Clinton’s 1998 visit, followed by repeated forced travel or police controls around politically sensitive anniversaries. Reputable sources conflict on the length of his post-1989 prison term, so the exact sentence length remains unresolved.

Where legal, custody, professional-status, release, travel, or identity details remain unresolved, this archive preserves that uncertainty rather than inferring a conclusion.
