Lu Honglai / 吕洪来
Tianjin Democracy Wall-era activist and independent-press figure. Sources document political imprisonment beginning in 1981, involvement in the 1998 Beijing-Tianjin China Democracy Party branch-formation context, a further detention in 2008, and later political activity in exile. Sources differ on whether he accepted a vice-chair title in 1998, so that office is not treated as settled.
