Chen Lantao (陈兰涛) is a Chinese democracy activist and former political prisoner associated with the 1989 democracy movement.
Public role
P1 records document an 18-year sentence after the 1989 crackdown and release in 2000. The exact release day remains disputed in the controlled source record and is not inferred here.
Research status
The P1 media baseline is completed. Original legal, prison, and release records remain archival enrichment targets. Conflicting release-date claims are preserved rather than normalized without controlling evidence.
