2026-08-31 — 维权网 Issue 131 monthly prisoner roster
The Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 report (August 31, 2026) lists Zhang Wanbo in its “sentenced to 3 years” prisoner group — consistent with the sentence documented above.
Evidentiary notes
- The two main sources disagree on the 2024 arrest date (May 11 vs May 22); both agree it led to criminal detention and a three-year sentence.
- No source states the charge or the sentencing court for the current sentence.
- The Minghui archive is a practitioner-run documentation source; its factual claims are reported as documented by that source, with the CHRD record corroborating the key anchors (identity, region, sentence length, prison).
- The six related Minghui news reports linked from the library page were recorded but not individually read; they remain for further verification.
