Source limitations
Much of the detailed chronology originates with Minghui or WOIPFG. These sources have an advocacy or practitioner relationship to the subject matter, so allegations of mistreatment and medical details remain explicitly attributed. No authenticated court judgment or independent medical record was located for this archive.
