Source chronology
October 14, 2021 — Weiquanwang (Rights Defense Network): “天津法轮功学员李国庆一家三口被同时被判12年、10年、7年的重刑”. The report identifies Li Guoqing — formerly a power-grid dispatcher at the Tianjin electric power company and co-operator of a wedding-services business — and states that on May 15, 2019 his wife and daughter were intercepted and detained while driving, after which police from Ninghe District and the Lutai Town station raided the home, seized printers, fax machines and three cars, and placed all three under criminal detention on suspicion of cult offenses. The case went to the Ninghe District Court in March 2020, and on September 4, 2021 the court sentenced Li Guoqing to twelve years (term to May 14, 2031), his wife Yu Bo to ten years (term to May 14, 2029), and their daughter Li Lei to seven years, all for “using a cult to undermine law enforcement”. At sentencing the three were held at the Ninghe District Detention Center. The article is republished from the network’s blog. Verification: VERIFIED (page fetched from chinahrc.org and read in full; case facts cross-match the CHRD database record and the Minghui victim file).
Minghui victim case file: 李国庆 (Li, Guoqing) — updated August 25, 2024. The case file records the May 15, 2019 detention of Li Guoqing, Yu Bo, and their daughter Li Lei by the Ninghe District public security bureau together with the Lutai Town station, the home raid and seizure of property, their detention at the Ninghe District Detention Center, and the sentences reported in early 2022: Li Guoqing twelve years, his wife Yu Bo ten years, and daughter Li Lei seven years. It also names the responsible units (Ninghe public security bureau, district political-legal committee, “610” office, Ninghe court, detention center) with contact details. Verification: VERIFIED (page fetched from library.minghui.org and read; filed under the husband’s name; consistent on all case anchors).

Database record: female; last taken away 2019-05-15; charge 利用邪教组织破坏法律实施罪 (“using a cult to undermine law enforcement”); sentence ten years; term ending 2029-05-14; location unrecorded.
