This archive preserves the source record behind the Gong Yongcheng 龚永成 profile: the database record of his four-year sentence and the independent roster corroboration of his custody status, with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; the record’s claims remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
Tenzhu POCD — Gong Yongcheng record (opened and read, 2026-09-26)
(Tenzhu Political Prisoners Database, opened and read in full: http://tenchu.org/pocd/public/pocs/4564) The sole detailed case record located: 龚永成 / Gong Yongcheng, male, born 2003, from Suining, Sichuan Province. Taken away in 2023. Charge: not stated (“charge unknown” in the record). Sentence: four years. Facility: Jiazhou Prison. Recorded release year: 2027. Status: in prison. The record carries a torture flag, which is the database’s own characterization and is not independently corroborated. The record provides no case narrative, no references, and no court or arresting-authority detail. Source grade: structured political-prisoner database; attributed; thin but detailed; single-source case record.
维权网 — August 2026 monthly report, Issue 131 (August 31, 2026)
维权网《中国大陆在押政治犯、良心犯月度报告（2026年8月31日）第131期（共1638人）, read via local mirror of the Chinese and English editions. Independent Chinese-language rights-monitoring outlet. Lists 龚永成 / “Gong Yongcheng” in the “判刑4年” (sentenced to 4 years) group — the sentence band matches the four-year term in the POCD record. Supplies no biographical detail beyond the sentence and custody status; it is the source for his classification as in custody as of August 2026. Source grade: monitoring organization; single-source roster fact; corroborates the sentence band and custody status only.
Source conflicts and limitations
No independent case narrative — no news report, court document, or recognized-NGO account — has been located for this case despite repeated exact-name searches (prior passes plus a targeted Chinese search on 2026-09-26, all negative). The charge, exact date he was taken away, arresting authority, and court are unknown; the “release year 2027” figure is the POCD record’s own and reflects a nominal four-year term from a 2023 detention — it is not a confirmed release date. The torture flag is attributed to the POCD record alone. No PRC official source and no consular dimension were found. No photo rights confirmation (no images embedded in copy).
