Source grading
- Minghui.org / Clearharmony — Falun Gong-affiliated sources and the principal evidence lineage. Contested claims require attribution.
- World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong — Falun Gong-affiliated investigative outlet; attribution required.
- Issue 131 roster — dated source claim providing a custody listing without independent case detail.
Conflicts and caveats
- Custody vs. death: the August 31, 2026 roster lists “Gao Ke” as in custody, while Minghui reported that 高科 died April 20, 2026 at Tailai Prison. Neither claim is independently verified; status remains contested.
- No charge article was named in the available reporting.
- No computed sentence end date is given.
Evidentiary limits
The case record relies principally on Falun Gong-affiliated reporting. No court judgment, procuratorate record, prison notice, or independent NGO/media coverage was located in the publication package. Allegations against police, prosecutors, and prison staff are therefore presented as reported claims rather than independently verified facts.
