Li Yu / 李煜 — Media Profile & Archive
This archive preserves the source trail and identity safeguards for the Hunan student Li Yu documented after the 1989 movement.
Core prisoner record
Chinese Human Rights Defenders, The Legacy of Tiananmen (2009), reproducing the HRIC/HRW-Asia Hunan documentation lineage, identifies Li Yu as born in Hengyang in 1969, a university student, and sentenced to one year for counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement.
Evidence limits
The original judgment has not been located. The available public record does not establish his university, specific protest acts, arrest date, court, prison, release record or later biography, so none is inferred.
Identity safeguards
This Li Yu is distinct from Li Yumin (李郁民) in the 1990 Chenzhou case, from the historical Southern Tang ruler Li Yu, and from Hong Kong activist Andy Li Yu-hin (李宇軒).
