No independent reporting naming Han was opened. Business in Vancouver and Vancouver Is Awesome both return HTTP 403 to automated requests. No individual campaign page, no dated quote, and no interview with Han was found. COPE's own nomination posts list the name without any background. Han's occupation, the organisations Han has organised with, and the years of the student activism described by COPE are all unestablished.
