Li Weihong / 李卫红 — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the principal source record used for the canonical Li Weihong profile and documents important identity and case distinctions.
Hunan case documentation
Human Rights in China reporting, Chinese Human Rights Defenders’ The Legacy of Tiananmen, and the HRIC/HRW-Asia Hunan prisoner-roster lineage identify Li Weihong as a Changsha factory worker prosecuted in connection with the April 22, 1989 Changsha case.
The source packet records a severe first-instance sentence imposed on June 22, 1989. This proceeding must be kept distinct from separate Hunan cases adjudicated on the same date.
Identity safeguard
An English HRIC roster contains the rendering “Zhou Weihong” at the corresponding position. Other evidence identifies the person as Li Weihong / 李卫红, so the anomalous English rendering is treated as a probable transcription or typesetting error rather than a separate person.
Open record gaps
The original judgment has not been located. The precise individual charge, specific trial court, later sentence history, confirmed release, post-1989 whereabouts and present status remain unresolved. Unsupported claims of a 2007 release are not treated as established.
