Name-variant note
Some 2019 sentencing compilations render the Chinese name as 田杏保. The matching locality, court, sentence, and timing indicate the same person; 田杏宝 is used here as the canonical roster form.
Evidence limits
No independently obtained court judgment or official current-custody record was located. Prison-access and family-contact claims remain attributed to Minghui. No release date is inferred.
