Person profile: Yang Lijun — Political Prisoner Profile
This page preserves the dated public record on Yang Lijun (杨立君) of Jixi City, Heilongjiang — a Falun Gong practitioner reported sentenced to six years in January 2022 — with source attributions and the limits of what is known.
Case chronology
- January 26, 2022 — Ms. Yang Lijun of the Hengshan District, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, is arrested. (Minghui.org, 2022-05-12)
- January 2022 — Sentenced to six years in prison, as reported in the same digest item; Minghui’s April 2022 sentencing summary independently records entry #11 杨立君 / Yang Lijun (female, Heilongjiang, Jixi) with a six-year term handed down in January 2022.
- August 31, 2026 — The Rights Defense Network’s monthly report of mainland political prisoners and prisoners of conscience (Issue 131) places Yang Lijun in its fixed-term-imprisonment section in the “sentenced to six years” group, in the 尹峰/杨丽霞/刘伯滨/何清香/周秀华/杨立君/金敏/魏彬 band (Chinese edition).
Case actors named in reporting
None beyond the practitioner herself. The digest item names no arresting officers, no court, and no detention facility.
Co-defendants / separate persons (DO NOT MERGE)
- Yang Lijun, Dapu County/Shenzhen, Guangdong — former beauty-salon owner; sentenced to two years and three months in January 2025; prior detentions at Shenzhen Airport (January 2010), Luohu Detention Center (July 2011), Sanya (May 2015). Different province, different sentence, different person.
- Yang Lijun, Fularji District, Qiqihar, Heilongjiang — arrested December 7, 2004 with Liu Bogang; whereabouts unknown since about 2005. Different city and timeline; different person.
Source provenance and limitations
All case facts come from Minghui-affiliated reporting (one news digest item, one sentencing-data summary), which has documented Falun Gong persecution cases since 1999. No corroborating source (court document, official procedural record, international media, or human-rights NGO report) has been located for Yang’s case specifically. The trial court, the formal charge, the detention facility, and the sentence end date are all unattested — none is inferred.
Consulate / official-source check
Ms. Yang is a PRC national; there is no consular dimension to the case. PRC government sources searched (court notices, state media): no official acknowledgment of her case found. Result: not found; the case record rests on Minghui-affiliated reporting.
