Rights Defense Network — Monthly Report Issue 131, August 31, 2026 (Chinese edition)
(维权网, opened and read in full: Issue 131, 2026年8月31日, 第131期) 王桂英 appears in the 判刑3年3个月，12人 (sentenced to 3 years and 3 months, 12 people) group: “黄春玲、汪泽宣、李春丰、王桂英、夏洪民、刘永英、徐万香、王杏妹、丰素霞、郭宏英、刘润苗、李庆军.” Independent confirmation of the 3-year-3-month sentence classification and in-custody listing as of August 31, 2026.

Rights Defense Network — Monthly Report Issue 131, August 31, 2026 (English edition)
(opened and read in full: Issue 131) “Wang Guiying” appears in the “Sentenced to 3 years and 3 months, 12 people” group between “Li Chunfeng” and “Xia Hongmin,” and in the pinyin-ordered index between “Wang Guirong” and “Wang Haiyan.” Used for the EN↔ZH positional identity equation. Verification status: VERIFIED.
Considered and rejected — Dehui sweep “Wang Guiying” (ten-month sentence, 2023)
(Minghui.org, via the documented Su Cuizhi case record: “Dehui City, Jilin Province: 15 Arrested in One Day, 4 Sentenced to Prison,” September 20, 2023; and “Arrested in a Police Sweep, 80-Year-Old Jilin Man Latest Confirmed to Be Jailed for Practicing Falun Gong,” July 25, 2025) A woman named Wang Guiying (王桂英) was among those seized in the February 25–26, 2023 Dehui police sweep and was sentenced in August 2023 to ten months in prison. Rejected as a match for this roster entry: different case (Dehui, Jilin vs. Zhengzhou, Henan), different sentence (10 months vs. 3 years 3 months), and a ten-month term imposed in August 2023 would have ended well before the August 2026 in-custody roster listing. Preserved here as name-collision evidence. Verification status: WRONG-PERSON — do not merge.
