Wrong-person record (do not merge)
- The Minghui library victim page https://library.minghui.org/victim/i43100.htm — linked in the CHRD bio as a source — actually documents a DIFFERENT Han Wei: the Harbin-based husband of Lü Shiyu, detained in 2001 (and 2006–2008, 2016). It does not concern the Jidong/Nantong case and must not be attached to this person. Read in full and marked as a wrong-person record.
- A female doctor named Han Wei detained in Guizhou in December 2004 (http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2004/12/25/55948.html) — different gender and era. Wrong person.
- The Taiwan/Hong Kong writer of the same name — an entirely different person. Wrong person.
Evidentiary notes
- The charge in the Nantong case is not stated in any source; the CHRD record explicitly lists it as unknown.
- The “big data monitoring” origin of the case is Minghui’s account, not an official statement.
- Current status beyond the stated term end (September 30, 2026) is not established; nothing about release is asserted.
- No PRC official or state-media coverage of this case was located; no consular dimension (a PRC citizen detained in the PRC). Recorded as: not found.
