Zhang Meiju (张美菊) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive collects the source material on the case of Zhang Meiju (张美菊), who is listed among reported in-custody political and conscience prisoners in mainland China.
See the Person Profile.
What is documented
维权网’s monthly monitoring report of August 31, 2026 (Issue 131) places 张美菊 in the group of prisoners reported as sentenced to four years (“判刑4年，171人”). In the report’s sentence-statistics section she/he appears in the name sequence “…徐亚梅、张美菊、张君、田丽丽…”; the English edition of the same report lists “Zhang Meiju” in the equivalent position. The report’s pinyin-ordered name index likewise lists 张美菊 between 张莲桂 and 张梦颖. No charge, court, detention start date, or detention location is given in this report.
Evidence limitations
No independent case record has been located beyond the roster listing: no court document, media report, or NGO case file specific to 张美菊 was found in bounded searches. The Chinese characters were established by positional comparison of the report’s own Chinese and English editions — no other character form is asserted. This archive will be expanded if additional sources emerge.
