Xu Zongping (许宗平) is listed in a rights-defense monthly report dated August 31, 2026 as serving a two-year sentence, among 1,638 political prisoners and prisoners of conscience recorded as in custody in mainland China. Beyond that listing, no charge, sentencing date, court, custody location, or case history for Xu has been publicly documented.
The Chinese-language edition of the report places 许宗平 in its two-year-sentence group, between 刘守渝 and 张贞一; the English edition places “Xu Zongping” in the matching position — the basis for the Chinese-character identification. The report’s pinyin-ordered name index independently lists 许宗平 among the 许-surname entries, consistent with “Xu Zongping” in the English index. Repeated searches of rights-defense, news, and prisoner-database sources returned no further reporting on this person.
Status note: the report classifies the entry as in custody as of August 31, 2026. No assertion is made about custody beyond that date, release, sentence completion, or present whereabouts.
