2026 roster discrepancy
Rights Defense Network Issue 131 still lists 林杨鹏 in its five-year-sentence group as of August 31, 2026. Because two case-specific sources record his March 2024 release, the roster entry is treated as stale rather than evidence of renewed custody.
Evidence limits
No official PRC judgment text, current post-release information, or prison location was located. The reported 4,241-tweet figure and other prosecution details come from monitoring organizations and are not independently verified here.
