Liu Jie (刘杰) — Heilongjiang is a petitioner from Binxian County, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. CHRD records his date of birth as July 4, 1951.
Rights Defense Network and Civil Rights and Livelihood Watch report that Liu’s grievance dates to a 1998 seizure of merchandise by local procuratorial authorities, after which he pursued redress through petitioning.
In 2021, monitoring organizations reported several periods of administrative detention connected to his petitioning. Rights Defense Network reported a seven-day detention beginning June 28, 2021 and another detention in Beijing beginning August 2 that was later upgraded to criminal detention.
The CHRD Prisoners of Conscience Database records a detention period from August 20, 2021 to May 26, 2022, totaling 278 days, followed by release after prosecutors declined to prosecute for insufficient evidence.
CHRD further reports that on February 16, 2023, the Yilan County Court approved Liu’s arrest and that he was held at Binxian Detention Center. No verdict has been publicly reported.
Rights Defense Network Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, explicitly lists 刘杰（黑龙江） in the Heilongjiang group classified as detained without a reported sentence. This record is distinct from the separate 刘杰（山东） case.
Status: listed as detained without a reported sentence as of August 31, 2026. No sentence, release, or post-February-2023 circumstances are inferred beyond that roster classification.
