Zhou Sanyong (周三永) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source record behind the Zhou Sanyong (周三永) profile: a Falun Gong practitioner from Sanhe City, Hebei, sentenced to nine years in August 2022 and listed in the 9-year-sentence band of the August 2026 roster, with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
The Chinese name 周三永 was resolved by positional alignment within the Issue 131 matching sentence-length segment (English “…Zhang Xia (Wuhan), Hu Jinhui, Zhou Sanyong, Liu Ling, Zhang Liping…” ↔ Chinese “…张霞（武汉）、胡金慧、周三永、刘玲、张…” in the sentenced-to-9-years, 48-person group). The characters are 周三永, not 周三勇 — the roster file contains no 周三勇. No competing same-name record was found.

Source conflicts and limitations
All case reporting comes from a single outlet family (Minghui.org). No independent international-media coverage and no PRC official record (verdict, court notice, or state-media report) surfaced in bounded searches. Case details therefore carry single-source attribution throughout. The Chinese name 周三永 is derived from the Issue 131 ZH/EN positional equation (三永, not 三勇), not from a source that prints the Chinese characters alongside the case facts. Birth year and age are unknown. The appeal outcome is unknown — no reporting found after December 2022 — and must not be implied either way. The judge’s claim that the April 2021 start date excludes the first three months of detention is reported as the judge’s statement, not as an established fact; the 110,000-yuan home cash confiscation is reported only by Minghui.org and is independently unverified. Consulate and official-source check: not a foreign national — no consular dimension; PRC government sources searched (court notices, state media) yielded no official acknowledgment of Zhou Sanyong’s case. Best sources for the person page: the December 24, 2022 full case report and the January 2, 2023 sentencing confirmation; best for the media archive: both of the above plus the roster baseline.
