Source limitations
The detailed case narrative comes from a prisoner database that cites Minghui, a Falun Gong community publication. The referenced Minghui article could not be independently opened during preparation and is therefore not relied on here as a separately verified source. No official mainland court judgment or police notice was located. The charge, trial court and date, and prison location remain unknown.
