In separate reports, both dated January 1, 2018, he is reported as belonging to the Weihutan Road and Tranquil Neighborhoods (in the Gangcheng Area Subdistrict). [Presumably he resides in Gangcheng, but the exact neighborhood is ambiguous.]

chronology of detention(s)
As of 2017-2018, the victim was listed, together with approximately 8000 other people, as belonging to the WASFRY group (危安释放人员, or "endangering (state) security released persons"). [It is assumed that he was initially detained at some point before 2017, as the seriousness of the charge makes it very unlikely that he was both detained and released in 2017 or later.]
As of January 1, 2018, he had been detained again and was in "transformation through education" (camp).As of 2017-2018, the victim was listed, together with approximately 8000 other people, as belonging to the WASFRY group (危安释放人员, or "endangering (state) security released persons"). All of these people were specified as being entered into the iTap surveillance system on July 27, 2017. [It is assumed that the victim was initially detained at some point before 2017, as the seriousness of the charge makes it very unlikely that they were both detained and released in 2017 or later. It is not known if the victim was detained again after their release, though this is likely if they were in the region in 2017-2018, as many of the people in the list have sensitive (red/orange-level) police tags, and as WASFRY is itself an orange-level tag.]
Testimony 3: A January 1, 2018 report marks him as being in "transformation through education".
suspected and/or official reason(s) for detention
[The earlier detention was presumably for "endangering state security", given the victim's membership in the WASFRY list.][Presumably for "endangering state security", given the victim's membership in the WASFRY list.]
last reported status
In camp.Not specified. [There is a very high likelihood of the victim being in detention - given the sensitivity of the WASFRY tag, given many people on the WASFRY list having other sensitive tags, and given the majority of the better documented victims in the list being reported as detained in the post-2017 period also. However, it is also possible that the victim left the region/country prior to the mass incarcerations of 2017-2018, and thereby escaped detention.]
