Liang Jianjun (梁剑君) is a teacher from Lechang City, Guangdong Province, reported to be serving a three-year prison sentence after a 2025 conviction.
Rights Defense Network reports that Liang taught for more than twenty years at a vocational senior high school in Lechang and began practicing Falun Gong in 1995. WOIPFG, a Falun Gong-affiliated advocacy organization, reported that he was arrested at his school on May 25, 2017 and later prosecuted in Lechang.
Rights Defense Network states that Liang served a five-year sentence from 2017 to 2022, including time at Beijiang Prison. In mid-July 2025, it reports, Liang and his wife Cao Liping (曹丽萍) were arrested again. Liang was held at the Lechang City Detention Center.
The organization reported on August 22, 2026 that it had learned the Lechang City Court had sentenced Liang to three years in prison, with a term stated as running through July 2028. Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists 梁剑君 in the three-year-sentence group.
Evidence note: the sources disagree on Liang’s age: WOIPFG described him as 49 in October 2017, while Rights Defense Network gives a 1972 birth year. No definitive birth year is asserted here. The formal criminal charge is not stated in the located sources.
