November 14, 2022 (record entered; updated 2024–2025) — Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) prisoner-of-conscience database record
姓名 苗建国 / Name Miao Jianguo; male; born 1964; from Jinzhou, Liaoning; railway electrician; Falun Gong practitioner since 1995. Summarizes the 2022-02-21 arrest and the 1.5-year Linghai Court sentence (term through 2023-08-20); records the 2024-08-21 re-arrest by Taihe District national-security officers; records the 2025-02-18 Linghai Court trial, the five-year sentence with a 6,000-yuan fine, the unsuccessful appeal, and the term through 2029-08-20. Charge and facility recorded as unspecified. (Database record used as an identity anchor; not a public-facing link.)
Source limitations
All three records were opened and read in full. They agree on identity, dates, institutions, and both sentences. The criminal charge as written in any judgment is not stated in any source — recorded as unspecified. The facility serving the 2025 sentence is not stated — recorded as unspecified. The 2025 sentencing is documented only in the CHRD record and the rights-monitoring roster’s 5-year sentence group; no standalone published 2025 case report was located. One outlet describes him as 51, conflicting with the database’s 1964 birth year — unresolved. No court, government, or additional international-media publication of either case was located.
Name-collision note
苗建国 is a common Chinese name; prior research confirmed all generic web hits are wrong-person material. No fact from any namesake may be attached to this profile.
