Zhou Lina (周丽娜) — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source record behind the Zhou Lina (周丽娜) profile: a Falun Gong practitioner from Jinzhou, Liaoning, sentenced to four and a half years in March 2025 and listed in the 4.5-year-sentence band of the August 2026 roster, with provenance and limitations noted. Sources are graded; allegations remain attributed rather than stated as fact.
The Chinese name 周丽娜 was resolved by positional alignment within the Issue 131 matching sentence-length segment (English “…Zhang Huiqiang, Zhou Lina, Wang Baoru, Li Caiqiong…” ↔ Chinese “…张慧强、周丽娜、王宝茹、李彩…” in the sentenced-to-4-years-and-6-months, 72-person group). No competing same-name record was found; Minghui’s English articles use the romanization only, so the Chinese characters rest on the roster equation.

Source conflicts and limitations
All case reporting comes from a single outlet family (Minghui.org). No independent international-media coverage and no PRC official record (verdict, court notice, or state-media report) surfaced in bounded searches. Case details therefore carry single-source attribution throughout. The Chinese name 周丽娜 is derived from the Issue 131 ZH/EN positional equation, not from a source that prints the Chinese characters alongside the case facts (Minghui’s English articles use the romanization only). Birth year is unknown (“in her 40s” per Minghui); occupation is unknown; details of the appeal ruling beyond “denied” are unknown; the current facility after the December 2025 report is unknown, and prison transfer status and exact release date must not be inferred. Consulate and official-source check: not a foreign national — no consular dimension; PRC government sources searched (court notices, state media) yielded no official acknowledgment of Zhou Lina’s case. Best sources for the person page: the March 26, 2025 sentencing report, the February 27, 2025 trial report, and the Issue 131 roster baseline; best for the media archive: all of the above plus the appeal-denial and December 2025 status roundups.
