李春丰 (Li Chunfeng) — Political Prisoner Profile
Identification method
The Issue 131 roster’s Chinese edition lists 李春丰 in its sentenced-to-3-years-3-months group but gives no case detail. A record in a prisoners-of-conscience database (queried directly, October 10, 2026) gives the same Chinese characters with the romanization “Li Chunfeng,” a Falun Gong practitioner from Huangzhuang Township, Sanhe, Hebei, seized April 10, 2024, held in the Sanhe City Detention Center, sentenced in November 2024 to 3 years and 3 months, term to July 9, 2027. A case report published December 12, 2024 in 明慧网 records the same village, the same April 10, 2024 seizure, the same detention center, and the same sentence by the same court. Across the database’s 4,372 records, exactly one entry matches this name. Identification rests on: exact Chinese name + romanization + Sanhe/Hebei geography + the April 10, 2024 detention anchor + the identical 3-year-3-month sentence figure matching the roster band.

Media records
- 明慧网 (minghui.org), 2024-12-12. “河北省三河市善良的李春丰被非法判刑三年多.” Falun Gong-affiliated advocacy outlet — treated as a monitoring/advocacy source; value-laden language (“非法”, “枉法”, “善良的”) is reported as the outlet’s characterization, not adopted as fact. Corroborates the CHRD record on village, seizure date, detention center, court, sentence, and term. Verification: VERIFIED (page opened and read in full, October 10, 2026).

Best sources for the Media Archive page
The Minghui case report, the database record, and the Issue-131 roster listing — preserved here as the dated source chronology, including the article’s named-personnel list which this archive references without reproducing personal contact details.
Consulate / official-source check
Not relevant: no documented diplomatic or consular dimension; no official-source statement on this case located in the same research pass. The Minghui report names court and police personnel as advocacy exposure; no official response is recorded.
Contradictions and evidence gaps
- The criminal charge is not stated in any source (CHRD: 罪名/Charge = Unknown; the Minghui report names no charge). Not inferred.
- The conviction rests on advocacy/monitoring sources, not a court record; dates, sentence figure, and location are consistent across the two independent sources.
- Personal phone numbers and home addresses of named officials in the Minghui article are NOT reproduced here — editorial decision, consistent with public-page hygiene.
- Current detention location beyond the dated record: not confirmed.
- Li Chunfeng is a high-collision name; the merge to this record is anchored on the multi-anchor match documented above, not the name.
This archive preserves what the cited sources record and nothing more. Characterizations from the advocacy outlet are reported as its characterizations; this archive does not present them as official findings.
