Media Archive: Guo Likun (国俪堃)

This archive gathers the available reporting on the case of Guo Likun (国俪堃), a Mongolian retired doctor and Beijing housing-rights activist, detained on July 29, 2026 and reported released on bail in September 2026 by a single monitoring source.

Case chronology — the housing dispute

  • 2011: The navy dry-rest-home housing (naval Wanquansi residential complex) assigned to retired military cadres is delivered as a poorly built project; Guo Likun and her husband cannot move into the dangerous flat. Eviction pressure follows: cut-off utilities, damage to their home and property.
  • December 7, 2013: Without notice, the rear-service office of the naval compound at Dongdajie No. 5, Fengtai, has their courtyard wall demolished overnight; the family reports the theft of ancestral ashes, a mutton-fat-jade urn, and burial objects.
  • March 2, 2014: The rear-service office cuts water, power, gas, and heating to force eviction; waterproofing is torn up; the couple’s property is damaged.
  • July 9, 2015: Their home is forcibly demolished; her husband Ji Zhuotu is beaten unconscious (multiple fractures, broken teeth); taken to a naval hospital in critical condition.
  • January 5, 2018: Ji Zhuotu dies in the hospital, after multiple critical-condition notices.

Case chronology — petitioning and detentions

  • June 15, 2020: Beaten while petitioning at the Beijing Jinghai Building where a military inspection team was based; injuries to neck, waist, thigh.
  • September 2021: Criminally detained by Fengtai police on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”; held at Beijing Fengtai District Detention Center; released March 15, 2023 after about 18 months.
  • November 2023: Pushed down by police while petitioning at the Beijing municipal petition bureau; tailbone dislocated; long-term health consequences (back pain, difficulty walking, reliance on a cane).
  • May 2024: Prevented from traveling to the United States for surgery with a former colleague; both had bought tickets but were blocked at home until they missed the flight.
  • July 29, 2026: Taken from Beidaihe back to Beijing; criminally detained; held at the Fengtai detention center; no written detention notice received by the family as of the record.
  • September 2026 (reported): Released on bail, per the CHRD database bio — single-source, uncorroborated.
