Liu Wei (刘伟) — Chengdu is a Falun Gong practitioner from Chengdu, Sichuan Province and the husband of fellow practitioner Ai Chaoyu.
Minghui reports that Liu and Ai were arrested on July 10, 2019 during a police operation targeting dozens of Falun Gong practitioners in Chengdu. The couple were held at the Pi County Detention Center, and their arrests were approved on August 17, 2019.
According to Minghui, prosecutors twice returned the case for insufficient evidence before the Chenghua District Procuratorate indicted the couple on April 3, 2020.
Minghui reports that the Chenghua District Court conducted hearings by video on March 9 and March 30, 2021. On April 27, 2021, the court sentenced both Liu Wei and Ai Chaoyu to eight years in prison. The outlet reports that they appealed.
Rights Defense Network Issue 131, dated August 31, 2026, lists 刘伟 in its eight-year-sentence group. This Chengdu record is distinct from the separate Liu Wei of Hanzhong, Shaanxi.
Status: listed as in custody as of August 31, 2026. The specific conviction charge, post-sentencing prison location, and appeal outcome were not located.
