• New enough. Long enough. Well written. Reliable citations throughout. Copyright violation unlikely (6.5%) per Earwig. QPQ done. The hook is cited, short enough, and interesting. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 02:08, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

  @Iostn:, currently "political prisoner" is not in the body and is not cited. Can you correct that please. TarnishedPath^talk 10:23, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

  @TarnishedPath: nitpicking aside, the term "political prisoner" is used in at least one of the cited sources Iostn (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

  @Iostn: so if you have a source you won't have an issue adding a sentence about it into the body and adding the citation at the end of the sentence? This is a requirement per WP:DYKCRIT which states "The hook fact should be cited in the article, no later than the end of the sentence it appears in."

  @Iostn and TarnishedPath: The term "political prisoner" is not actually found in the source you linked. Is it in another source? Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

  marking as on hold while there's an open sourcing question. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 02:46, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

  I had to fix this as I accidentally used a different URL from the same site that is also used as a source in the article but "political prisoner" is here Iostn (talk) 02:14, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

  @Dclemens1971: does that work for you? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:16, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

  All good here Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:10, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
