The Falun Gong community’s persecution-case archive gives the detailed narrative: the sticker-posting, the search-and-seizure inventory, the arrest-approval and prosecution dates, and the sentencing with both sentences (Wang nine years, Zhao seven years). Its framing of the case is the community’s account. Source grade: community case archive; detailed narrative, attributed.

Source conflicts and limitations
The case rests on the CHRD database record, the Minghui victim-library archive, and the 维权网 roster. No primary court record, official procedural record, international-media account, or PRC official source has been located. The specific criminal charge is recorded as unknown. The sentence end date of June 4, 2027 comes from the CHRD record (updated 2022-05-05) and is arithmetically consistent with a seven-year term from the June 2020 detention, but no official judgment was located. No detention-location detail beyond the Xi’an City Detention Center record has been found. No contradictory account of this case was found. No consular dimension was established.
