This archive preserves the documentary record for Cui Bin （崔斌）, the disabled Wanzhou petitioner sentenced in 2021 to death with a two-year reprieve for intentional homicide after a fatal clash with stability-maintenance personnel. For the narrative account, see the person profile. All accounts of the killing are reported with their sources; the archive does not resolve the conflicting versions.
Source record 1 — case file (Chinese)
- Outlet: China Political Prisoner Concern (CPPC), monitoring organization; case file 01003, published April 21, 2021, with follow-up comments.
- Title: 崔斌（CPPC编号：01003).
- URL: cppc1989.blogspot.com.
- What it establishes: full biographical and case chronology — the 2005 and 2012 acts of bravery and the resulting disability; the refused aid applications and turn to petitioning; the 2015–2018 Beijing petitioning and reported beatings; the April 28, 2020 loss of contact and the fatal clash; arrest on suspicion of intentional homicide; the April 8, 2021 Wanzhou court sentence of death with a two-year reprieve; the report that life imprisonment was originally intended but the court imposed death with reprieve over his remorse attitude; and the statement that he was serving the sentence at Chongqing Shudu Prison. A February 17, 2026 comment on the page describes him as still in custody. Provenance: established monitoring organization; its “self-defense” framing of the killing is the organization’s characterization, reported as such, not as an established finding.
Source record 2 — international media report (Chinese)
- Outlet: Radio Free Asia (Mandarin service), reported by 高锋， April 12, 2021.
- Title: 重庆残疾维权人士崔斌卷入维稳人员命案被判死缓.
- URL: rfa.org.
- What it establishes: independently reports the death-with-reprieve sentence; identifies Cui as a disabled Wanzhou petitioner; reports via fellow petitioner Li Yunsheng that the court imposed the heavier sentence because it was dissatisfied with Cui’s plea attitude, with a life sentence originally expected; carries a conflicting account of the killing (an officer’s version of Cui going to the victim’s home and stabbing him); and cites Minsheng Guancha （民生观察） reporting that Cui had been under long-term surveillance and violence, with the self-defense interpretation. Provenance: established international media; conflicting accounts inside the article are each attributed to their speakers.
Source record 3 — prisoner-database record (Chinese/English)
- Outlet: CHRD prisoner database (tenchu.org), entry dated 2021-04-19.
- Record: 姓名 崔斌， Name “CUI BIN,” born 1964.4.17, male; taken 2020.4.28; charge 其它 (other); sentence 死刑缓期二年执行； location column 重庆渝都监狱（南岸区长生桥镇乐天村）; biographical note matching the CPPC chronology (acts of bravery, disability, petitioning, 2020 clash, April 8, 2021 sentencing) but ending “目前在重庆蜀都监狱服刑.”
- What it establishes: the database’s canonical identity record; corroborates the CPPC/RFA chronology; introduces the Yudu/Shudu facility contradiction documented above.
Records considered but excluded
- CHRD record 崔兵 / “CUI BING” (female, born 1963, Huludao, Falun Gong detention 2022) — wrong person, excluded.
- The Benxi “Cui Bin” Minghui inference chain (2007 Dabailou trial; 2009 six-year term at Dongling Prison; 2016 release; 2020 arrest of an art teacher) — wrong person for this roster entry: different region, different profile, direct age contradiction; Chinese form never verified. Excluded entirely; do not merge.
- beijingspring.com and other CHRD source-link listings carried no case-specific content.
Evidentiary limitations
- No court verdict, judgment document, or official procedural record has been located; the sentence is attested by CPPC, CHRD, and RFA only.
- The “originally life imprisonment, raised to death with reprieve over remorse attitude” claim is attested by CPPC/CHRD and by RFA’s single source (Li Yunsheng) — not by any court document.
- No source states what happened after the two-year reprieve period; execution, commutation, and current status are all unconfirmed. No inference is made.
- The facility is reported as both Yudu and Shudu prisons; unresolved.
