Notes on the record
- The Minghui article dates from August 2021; no later case-specific reporting on Wang Pengying was located. Her presence on the roster in August 2026 is the most recent dated status evidence.
- The criminal charge and sentencing court for the 2020 six-and-a-half-year sentence are not stated in any located source.
- The exact sentencing date for the 2020 case is not recorded — only the term-through date (March 27, 2027) from the prisoner database and the article’s “recently learned” phrasing.
- The article prints 王朋影（王朋颖） — the 颖 form is a parenthetical variant only, not the canonical name.
- No official court document or state-media record of the 2020 case was found in the sources searched.
- Same-surname records for other persons (Wang Minghai M1035, Wang Minghui M1036) are distinct persons and are not part of this record.
