Identification method
The roster’s English edition lists “Wei Jiufu” with no Chinese characters. The Chinese edition of the same report was read directly: its 判刑3年110人 (sentenced to 3 years, 110 people) list reads “…郑洪玲、余秀琼、赵俊芳、魏久福、王淑华（黑龙江）、杜欣芹…”, while the English edition lists “…Zheng Hongling, Yu Xiuqiong, Zhao Junfang, Wei Jiufu, Wang Shuhua (Heilongjiang), Du Xinqin…” — names aligning position-for-position, with 魏久福 occupying the “Wei Jiufu” position (seventy-eighth). The report’s own name index independently places 魏久福 in the W sequence — 魏春荣、魏久福、魏三梅 — matching the English index’s “Wei Chunrong, Wei Jiufu, Wei Sanmei” adjacency. This positional identification, from the report’s own two editions, is the sole basis for the Chinese characters — no independent biographical source confirms them.
Source chronology
- August 31, 2026 — Rights Defense Network / 维权网, Issue 131 monthly report (Chinese and English editions). The report’s sentence-statistics table lists a 110-person group sentenced to 3 years; the Chinese edition’s seventy-eighth name is 魏久福, positionally matching “Wei Jiufu” in the English edition. The report classifies its entries as political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in custody (dated source claim). No individual case detail is given for this entry.
- September 2026 (research). Bounded searches for 魏久福 across rights-defense reporting, news archives, and prisoner databases returned no indexed reporting on this person; the only substantive name hit was Wei Fenghe (魏凤和), a former defense minister — a wrong-person collision, not this case.
Media records
No news, advocacy, or documentary media records on this person were located beyond the Issue 131 roster listing itself. The single source is the roster; there are no media items to chronicle. This section exists so the archive is honest about that: one source, read directly, with nothing else found.
Source grading
- Issue 131 Chinese + English editions (Rights Defense Network / 维权网, August 31, 2026): primary source — the only source establishing this person’s name, Chinese characters, and 3-year sentence record. Treat its roster classification as a dated source claim, not an independently verified finding.
