Chen Hongwei (陈洪伟) is listed in a rights-defense monthly report dated August 31, 2026 in the report’s “sentenced to 15 years” group of fifteen people, which the report classifies as political prisoners and prisoners of conscience currently in custody. Beyond that listing — name, 15-year sentence group, and the roster’s in-custody classification — no charge, arrest date, trial record, custody facility, or case history for Chen has been publicly documented.
The Chinese-language edition of the report places 陈洪伟 seventh in its fifteen-person 15-year list: 益西曲珍（藏）、迪克坦开（藏）、牙里坤.肉孜（维吾尔）、陈杰人、伊克帕·阿萨特（又译：艾克拜尔·艾塞提）（维吾尔族）、巴给拉·吾力拜依（哈）、陈洪伟、乃比江•艾比布拉（维）、买买提•艾木杜拉、杨荣丽、冯斯瑜、库尔班·马木提、玉山江•吉力力、图尼亚孜·奥斯曼、加纳提别克·别克苏力旦. The English edition lists the same fifteen names in the same order, with “Chen Hongwei” in the matching position — the basis for the Chinese-character identification. Targeted searches of rights-defense reporting, news archives, and prisoner databases returned no reporting on this person under any plausible character form.
Because the only available source is the roster listing itself, this profile is intentionally brief. If further reporting surfaces — a charge, a judgment, a trial record, a custody location, or family testimony — it will be added here with full sourcing.
