Xu Weidong (徐卫东) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source record behind the 徐卫东 profile: a former metallurgical engineer from Chengdu sentenced to five years in prison in March 2025 in connection with his practice of Falun Gong — his second prison term, after a ten-year term served 2002–2012 — with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.

Source conflicts and limitations
The formal criminal statute has not been publicly documented; these records do not state it, and it is not inferred. The verdict text is not publicly available; the March 25, 2025 date comes from the court’s oral confirmation to the family as reported. The transfer to Wumaping Prison was reported by detention-center guards and is not independently confirmed. The warrant backdating, the “heavy sentence” warning, and the evidence-staging claims rest on practitioner and advocacy reporting and are presented as reported, not as independently verified court findings. No PRC official or state-media coverage of this case has been found.
