Source conflicts and limitations
No conflicts were found; the sentence reported by Minghui (7.5 years) matches the roster’s 判刑7年6个月 band exactly, and the arrest date (August 21, 2025), city (Harbin), and husband (Yang Zhenyi / 杨振义) are consistent across the EN and ZH Minghui reports. No independent court record, family interview, or international-media report on Zhou Chuanying has been located. Minghui is an advocacy outlet; its account of the arrest, trial, and sentence is recorded as its reporting, not as an independently verified judicial record. The 维权网 listings corroborate only the name, the seven-and-a-half-year sentence band, and in-custody status — not the case details. The criminal charge of record is unknown; no release date may be computed or published.
