Lists 陈维权 / “Chen Weiquan” in the “判刑7年” (sentenced to 7 years, 86 people) group — the sentence band matches the seven-year term Minghui reports.

Source conflicts and limitations

The April 2022 sentencing list records Mr. Wu Baoku’s co-arrest but the primary article leaves his sentence unclear; no outcome for Mr. Wu is claimed. The Jixi City Detention Center detail comes from the January 2022 Minghui item documented in the prior packet and was not re-verified this run. No primary court record, official procedural record, international-media account, or recognized-NGO coverage beyond the outlets above has been located; no PRC official source was found for this case. The roster gives no cause detail beyond the sentence and custody status; the Falun Gong affiliation and full case history are Minghui-reported and attributed accordingly. No consular dimension was established. No photo rights confirmation (no images embedded in copy).
