Li Youbin (李友滨) — Heyuan Falun Gong Practitioner Sentenced to Eight Years

Li Youbin (李友滨), born in 1974, is a Falun Gong practitioner from Luohu Town, Dongyuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. According to the Rights Defense Network, she was arrested in September 2022 while distributing Falun Gong materials and later sentenced to eight years in prison.

The organization’s February 2024 case summary says Li was held for more than a year at Dongyuan Detention Center and that her family was not permitted to visit her during that period. These detention details are source-attributed and have not been independently verified.

The same report says the Dongyuan Court sentenced Li to eight years and that she was transferred to Guangdong Women’s Prison. It gives the sentence end as September 2030 without an exact day.

Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists Li Youbin among people serving eight-year sentences, consistent with the earlier case report. The specific criminal charge is not stated in the sources and is not inferred.
