Source provenance and limitations
Four records are from Minghui.org (Falun Gong-affiliated news/library); one is the CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database; one is the RDN/维权网 Issue 131 monthly report. All are consistent on the core case spine (names, dates, courts, sentences, co-defendants). No official court documents, state-media reporting, or other independent coverage was located. Origin detail (Hebei vs. Baotou native) conflicts between Minghui Chinese and CHRD; both agree on Baotou residence at arrest.
