Who this record covers
杨传厚 (Yang Chuanhou) is a political prisoner recorded in the Rights Defense Network’s August 2026 monthly report on political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in mainland China (Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026). The report lists him in its sentenced-to-5-years-and-6-months group. His Chinese name was confirmed from the report’s own Chinese edition, which aligns name-for-name with the English edition’s “Yang Chuanhou” listing.
Nothing further is publicly documented about him in the located record: no charge, no detention date, no sentencing date, no court, no facility, no province or city, no age, and no account of the events behind his case appear in the report or in any indexed reporting that could be reliably attached to him.
Recorded status
The Issue 131 report places 杨传厚 in the group sentenced to 5 years and 6 months, among 34 people in that category. The report presents its entries as political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in custody. Sentence start and end dates are not given; this page does not assert when his sentence began, how much time remains, or whether he is currently in custody.
Identification method
The roster’s English edition lists “Yang Chuanhou” with no Chinese characters. The Chinese edition of the same report was read directly: its 判刑5年6个月，34人 list reads “…温粉华、魏三梅、杨传厚、吴炎哆…”, while the English edition lists “…Wen Fenhua, Wei Sanmei, Yang Chuanhou, Wu Yanduo…” — 34 names aligning position-for-position, with 杨传厚 in the twenty-fourth position in both, verified by direct count on October 9, 2026. The report’s own name index independently places 杨传厚 in the Y block — 杨碧琼、杨传厚、杨福军 — matching the English index’s “Yang Biqiong, Yang Chuanhou, Yang Fujun” adjacency. This positional identification, from the report’s own two editions, is the sole basis for the Chinese characters — no independent biographical source confirms them. The adjacent-index name 杨碧琼 (“Yang Biqiong”) is a separate roster entry in a different sentence category, not this person. A separate advocacy database carries a “Yang Chuanhou” record with different sentence facts that cannot be verified as the same individual; it is not used in this profile (see the Media Profile & Archive).
What this record does not claim
This page does not state the charge, the court, the place of detention, or the circumstances of the case — none are documented for this entry. It does not treat a roster listing as a court record, and it does not guess at facts the sources do not give.
