Media Profile & Archive — Zhai Shanyong (翟善勇). This archive preserves the source basis, identification method, and evidentiary limits behind the Person Profile. See the full Person profile: Zhai Shanyong (翟善勇).
Person profile
Zhai Shanyong (翟善勇) — listed in the Issue 131 roster (August 31, 2026) in the report’s 126-person “sentenced to 3 years 6 months” (判3年6个月) group. No charge, trial date, court, facility, or case history publicly documented. Profile covers: the roster listing, the Chinese-character identification method, the sentence-group context, and the searches that returned no further reporting.
Identification method
The roster’s English edition lists “Zhai Shanyong” with no Chinese characters. The Chinese edition of the same report was read directly: its “判3年6个月，126人” section gives “…方彩霞、任春莲、安顺莲、翟善勇、李升星、夏忆林、刘汝平…” — while the English edition’s “Sentenced to 3 years and 6 months” group gives “…Fang Caixia, Ren Chunlian, An Shunlian, Zhai Shanyong, Li Shengxing, Xia Yilin, Liu Ruping…”. The two sequences align position-for-position; 翟善勇 occupies the “Zhai Shanyong” position. This positional identification, from the report’s own two editions, is the sole basis for the Chinese characters — no independent biographical source confirms them.
Source chronology
- August 31, 2026 — Rights Defense Network / 维权网, Issue 131 monthly report (Chinese and English editions). The report’s sentencing-statistics section lists a 126-person “sentenced to 3 years 6 months” group; 翟善勇 in the Chinese edition positionally matches “Zhai Shanyong” in the English edition. The report classifies its entries as political prisoners and prisoners of conscience currently in custody (dated source claim). No individual case detail is given for this entry.
- October 2026 (research). Bounded searches for 翟善勇 across rights-defense reporting, news archives, and prisoner databases returned no indexed reporting attributable to this person. No religious, organizational, or other affiliation is asserted for 翟善勇.
Source grading
- Issue 131 report (Chinese + English editions) — the roster source itself; the only evidence. High for the listing (name position, 126-person 3年6个月 group, sentenced classification as of August 31, 2026); it provides no case detail. The Chinese-character identification rests on the report’s own positional consistency, verified by direct reading of both editions.
- Negative search results — bounded searches returned nothing; this establishes absence of indexed reporting, not absence of a case.
Conflicts and caveats
- The Chinese characters 翟善勇 are positionally identified, not independently biographically confirmed. If a later source gives a different character form, the profile must be corrected.
- Group-mates (安顺莲, 李升星, 夏忆林, and the other 122) are different people in the same sentence group and must not be merged into this record.
- No religious, organizational, or other affiliation is asserted for 翟善勇 — the roster gives only a sentence-length grouping.
- “Sentenced to 3 years 6 months” is the report’s group classification as of August 31, 2026; it does not establish a charge, a court, a facility, or current status beyond that date.
Evidentiary limits
This is a single-source profile: the Issue 131 roster listing and its Chinese edition. No detention notice, charge, court record, news report, or family account was located. The profile is published as an honest thin-evidence record carrying the verified Chinese name and the limits of what is known — not as a completed biography.
