Zhou Jingcheng (周景成) — Person Profile
Zhou Jingcheng (周景成) is a Falun Gong practitioner listed as a current in-custody political prisoner in the Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report, Issue 131 (August 31, 2026), in its sentenced-to-4-years group. No dedicated case report, court record, or other media coverage of the underlying arrest, trial, or sentencing has been found. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists Zhou Jingcheng in its 4-year-sentence band, confirming they remain in custody serving their term as of that date.
The case
No arrest, trial, or sentencing narrative has been found in any source. What is documented is the sentence classification: the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 monthly report (August 31, 2026) lists 周景成 in its 判刑4年，171人 (sentenced to 4 years, 171 people) group, with the English edition confirming “Zhou Jingcheng” in the parallel band. Falun Gong (法轮功), also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline combining meditation exercises with moral teachings centered on truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance; it has been suppressed in China since July 1999, and practitioners detained for their faith are commonly prosecuted under the charge of “using a cult organization to undermine law enforcement.”
Status and evidentiary limits
Zhou Jingcheng is listed as a current in-custody political prisoner serving a four-year sentence as of August 31, 2026, the date of the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 report — the only source found documenting this person. No detention location, sentencing court, conviction date, age, or occupation has been found, and no release date is given or computed (detention credit and any sentence reduction are unknown). The Chinese characters 周景成 were established by positional alignment between the report’s Chinese and English editions, which list the same 171 names in the same order, with the name sitting between 周华建 (Zhou Huajian) and 周丽东 (Zhou Lidong) in both editions. Do-not-merge: 周景成 is a common Chinese name — identity here rests on the roster’s unique positional equation, not on the name alone, and no other media record may be attached to this person without re-running the identity verification. The 171-person four-year band is a same-sentence-length aggregation, not a joint case; band neighbors are not co-defendants.
