Sources preserved
- PoC (Prisoners of Conscience) database case record for 陈敏 / Chen Min (tenchu.org) — the fullest case biography: gender, school, three detention episodes, courts, sentence and term dates. The record cites a World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong notice as a further source.
- Rights Defense Network (维权网) Issue 131, August 31, 2026 — roster entry confirming the name (Chinese–English positional match) and the 7.5-year sentence classification, current-custody listing.
Evidentiary limitations
No official court document or state-media report on this case could be located by name; the charge, trial details beyond the recorded outcome, and current detention facility remain unconfirmed. The identity equation rests on the Chinese–English positional match in the Issue 131 roster, the sentence-length match, and a single-record hit in the PoC database (no competing 陈敏 record found).
