Liu Zongzhen (刘宗珍) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Jiangyang District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province. Rights Defense Network and CHRD report that she was born in 1965.
According to Rights Defense Network and Minghui, Liu was detained on May 17, 2023 after posting Falun Gong slogans in the Lantian area of Jiangyang District. She was held briefly, then released pending trial.
The case later moved through the Jiangyang District Procuratorate to the Jiangyang District Court. Minghui reports a December 13, 2024 trial. On April 7, 2025, Liu was notified that she had been sentenced to three years in prison and was taken to Chengdu Longquan Women’s Prison.
CHRD records the same three-year sentence and “in prison” status. Rights Defense Network gives April 6, 2028 as the stated end of the term.
Minghui also reports earlier harassment and detention in 2000, 2012, and 2021. Those historical details remain source-attributed.
Rights Defense Network Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists 刘宗珍 in the three-year-sentence group.
Status: reported in custody as of August 31, 2026. The April 6, 2028 date is a source-reported sentence endpoint and is not treated as a confirmed future release. The charge was not identified in the sources reviewed.
