Li Caihua (李财华) is a Falun Gong practitioner and farmer from Nanshao Town, Changping District, Beijing. Falun Gong-affiliated reporting states that he was arrested in November 2024 and later sentenced to four years in prison.
2024 arrest and latest sentence
Minghui reports that Li was reported to police in November 2024 while raising awareness about the treatment of Falun Gong practitioners. The outlet states that he was arrested, his home was searched, and he was later sentenced to four years in prison. The exact sentencing date and current detention facility were not reported.
Earlier reported imprisonment
Minghui reports earlier detention and prison terms, including a three-year sentence in 2009 and a four-year term imposed by the Changping District Court in 2018. The outlet also reports prior forced-labor terms and states that Li had spent a cumulative 15.5 years in detention by 2025. These historical details remain source-attributed.
Status and evidence limits
Rights Defense Network Issue 131 lists 李财华 among reported current prisoners in its four-year-sentence group as of August 31, 2026. No PRC official or independent court record was located for the latest case, and current status beyond that dated roster is not inferred.
Identity note: this record concerns the male Beijing practitioner 李财华 and is not merged with a different female same-name case reported from Hubei.
