Source conflicts and limitations
The arrest, trial, and sentencing facts come from practitioner-affiliated reporting (Minghui.org) and its sentencing-data compilation; dates, court actions, and the description of the prosecution evidence are recorded as those sources report them and have not been independently verified. No PRC court judgment or state-media coverage of the case was located. There is a trial-date variance in the record: a July 2022 notice scheduled the trial for August 1, 2022, while the later report records the trial on October 24, 2022 (consistent with a postponement). The exact sentencing date in April 2023 is unreported; the current facility is unreported; no release date is inferred. The Rights Defense Network’s monthly report is an independent roster listing of people it counts as in custody as of August 31, 2026.
