Zhang Yue (张越) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive collects the verified media and documentary record for Zhang Yue (张越), a Falun Gong practitioner from Jiutai District, Changchun, Jilin Province, sentenced to four years in prison in September 2025. The identity of the person in these records has been verified through multiple independent anchors: exact Chinese and English name match, the four-year sentence matching the Rights Defense Network roster band, and a corroborating case report on the same person.
Media records
1. 明慧网 (Minghui.org) — September 12, 2025
Title: 传播大法真相 长春张国志张越父子遭枉判入狱
URL: https://www.minghui.org/mmh/articles/2025/9/12/499384.html
Type: Community correspondent report (Falun Gong-affiliated outlet)
Verification: Opened and read in full on October 10, 2026.
What it establishes: Zhang Yue (in his 30s), son of Zhang Guozhi, of Xinkai Village, Weizigou Town, Jiutai District, Changchun, was detained with his father on July 15, 2024 for distributing Falun Gong materials, held at the Changchun City Detention Center, and — as learned in early September 2025 — sentenced by a local court to four years and transferred to Jilin Prison. It also reports that Zhang Guozhi was separately sentenced and held at Gongzhuling Prison, and gives the address of Jilin Prison (军民路100号， 吉林市， 邮编132012).
2. CHRD Prisoners of Conscience database — record entered October 14, 2025
Type: Human-rights NGO individual prisoner record
Verification: Retrieved directly from the database on October 10, 2026 (exact Chinese-name query returned a single record; zero-collision check across the full 4,373-record database confirms exactly one 张越 record).
What it establishes: 张越 / “Zhang Yue”, male, detained 2024.7.15, charge unknown, sentence 4 years, held at Jilin Prison (吉林监狱), release date 2028.7.14. The record’s case summary matches the Minghui report on every dated fact (detention date, detention facility, sentencing window, sentence length, prison) and cites the Minghui article above as its source.
3. 维权网 (Rights Defense Network), Issue 131 — August 31, 2026
Type: Monthly political-prisoner roster report
Verification: Band listing verified in local cached copies (ZH and EN) on October 8, 2026.
What it establishes: “Zhang Yue” / 张越 appears in the “sentenced to 4 years, 171 people” band — a roster listing, not an individual case record. It corroborates the sentence length independently of the Minghui/CHRD chain.
Source provenance & limitations
- The Minghui report and the CHRD record form a single corroborated chain: the CHRD record cites the Minghui article as its source, and the 维权网 roster band provides independent corroboration of the four-year sentence.
- No official court document, verdict, or PRC state-media coverage of this case was found in open sources (checked October 10, 2026).
- The charge is recorded as unknown/unspecified in the CHRD record; no source publicly names the charge.
- Zhang Yue’s exact age is not documented; the Minghui report describes him as in his 30s.
- Wrong-person exclusions documented and preserved: 张越 (b. 1961), the former Hebei provincial official sentenced to 15 years for bribery, is a different person and has not been merged; no Ming-dynasty or entertainment namesakes apply.
