Hao Zhiwei (郝志娓) — Person Profile
Hao Zhiwei (郝志娓) is listed in a rights-defense monthly report dated August 31, 2026 as serving an eight-year sentence, among 1,638 political prisoners and prisoners of conscience recorded as in custody in mainland China. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists her/him in its 8-year sentence band, confirming the entry appears in custody as of that date.
The case
The Chinese-language edition of the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 report lists 郝志娓 in its eight-year-sentence group, between Wu Chengjun (邬成均) and Li Wanbing (李万兵); the English edition lists “Hao Zhiwei” in the matching position — the basis for the Chinese-character identification. The report’s own pinyin-ordered name index places 郝志娓 at the end of the Hao (郝) surname run, matching “Hao Zhiwei” in the English index in identical order.
Beyond that listing, no charge, sentencing date, court, custody location, or case history has been publicly documented. The roster gives an eight-year sentence band and in-custody classification — nothing else.
Status and evidentiary limits
As of August 31, 2026, the Rights Defense Network lists 郝志娓 among political prisoners and prisoners of conscience reported to be currently in custody. The single verified source is the roster listing itself; it does not supply charge, court, detention date, facility, region, or case narrative, and custody beyond the report date is unconfirmed. No allegation here has been converted into fact; the roster’s classification is reported as the roster’s claim, not as an independently verified finding. This profile should not be merged with the Shanxi public-interest litigator Hao Jinsong (郝劲松) or any other Hao-surname roster entry.
