Evidence notes
The UN communication and the Chinese government’s reply agree on the later conviction and sentence but present conflicting accounts of procedural fairness and the children’s circumstances. Both positions are preserved with attribution. The current prison facility is not established, and the January 1, 2027 term-end date is information reported to the UN rather than an official release date in the PRC reply.
