Li Zhengxun (李正训) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Pingdu City in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Sources reported that he was sentenced on July 3, 2025 to one year and six months in prison and a 2,000-yuan fine, and that his appeal was rejected on August 26, 2025.
Minghui, a Falun Gong-affiliated outlet, reports that Li, then 73, was arrested on March 5, 2025 in Sanwanzhuang Village, Yifengdian Township, Jimo District, Qingdao, while talking to people about Falun Gong. It reports criminal detention beginning March 6, transfer to Qingdao No. 5 Detention Center on March 7, and formal arrest approval by the Jimo District Procuratorate on March 20.
The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) reports that the case moved to the Jimo District Procuratorate in April and that Li was tried by the Jimo District Court on May 21, 2025. Minghui describes procedural objections raised by Li’s lawyer; those details remain source-attributed.
Both sources report that the Jimo District Court sentenced Li on July 3, 2025 to one year and six months and a 2,000-yuan fine. WOIPFG reports that the Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court rejected his appeal on August 26, 2025.
The sources also report medical findings during detention, including a hernia, a heart tumor, and an abdominal mass. These health details are reported by the two Falun Gong-affiliated sources and are not independently verified here.
Current status: unconfirmed. The latest case-specific evidence located is the August 26, 2025 appeal decision. This page does not infer continued custody, a release date, or later detention status from sentence arithmetic.
Name note: the Chinese case record uses 李正训 (训), not 李正勋.
