Profile
Li Zhiying (李智英) is a Xi’an democracy activist documented in controlled Free China Movement research as a participant in the Shaanxi/Xi’an democracy network and China Democracy Party activity during the late 1990s.
Democracy and civic activity
The source baseline identifies Li as a 1995 democracy-activist award recipient and as a China Democracy Party activist/member in 1998–1999. International reporting and human-rights documentation describe repeated pressure and detention connected with peaceful political activity.
Custody history
Available sources describe separate custody episodes in June 1998, September 1998, and January 1999. These episodes are kept distinct. FCM does not combine them into a continuous period of imprisonment and does not infer any later custody status without evidence.
Evidence status
The controlled baseline includes contemporaneous AFP/wire reporting, international press, Amnesty International, U.S. State Department material, and democracy-movement documentation. Original police, legal, and China Democracy Party records remain targets for enrichment.
Research status: canonical profile established; enrichment ongoing.
