Li Fangping / 李方平
Human-rights lawyer known for representing Chen Guangcheng, Ilham Tohti, and other sensitive clients. Rights reporting documents surveillance and interference with his legal work. An official Beijing Justice Bureau decision cancelled his practice certificate in April 2025 upon his own application; later independent reporting describes him as living abroad or in exile.
