Liu Yurong is a Falun Gong practitioner from Cuiyan Township, Linghai City, Liaoning Province, and a former middle-school teacher. Her Chinese name characters were not verified in the sources reviewed and are therefore not supplied here.
Minghui and Clearharmony report that Liu was arrested on May 29, 2008 at the home of her older sister, Liu Yuqing. She was later sentenced to six years in prison and held in Liaoning Women’s Prison. The outlets report that she suffered serious health problems during imprisonment and was released on medical parole in 2013. Allegations of torture and other mistreatment remain source-attributed.
On November 27, 2021, according to Minghui, Liu visited another practitioner while seeking help finding work and was arrested because police were monitoring the residence. She was held at the Jinzhou City Women’s Detention Center. Minghui reports that a hearing was held on July 13, 2022 without advance notice to her family or lawyer. A 2026 retrospective reports that this case resulted in a one-year sentence and a 2,000-yuan fine.
On April 14, 2024, Minghui reports that Liu was again arrested in the Jinzhou/Linghai area. On December 30, 2024, according to a 2026 Minghui retrospective, the Linghai City Court sentenced her to four years and six months in prison and fined her 6,000 yuan.
Status: the last case-specific fact located is the December 30, 2024 sentence. Her present place of detention and current condition are unconfirmed; no release date or current-custody status is inferred.
Source note: accounts differ on whether Liu began practicing Falun Gong in 1996 or September 1997. The discrepancy remains unresolved.
