A note on status
The most recent dated source places Mr. Wang at Shandong Province Prison in March 2021. He is listed in the August 2026 Rights Defense Network (维权网) monthly roster of mainland political prisoners in the seven-year-sentence band, but no dated source after 2021 documents his current circumstances. This profile does not state that he is currently imprisoned, has been released, or has died; it reports only what dated sources establish.
