In 2012, Li was convicted of contract fraud, though it is likely that he was targeted in retaliation for his peaceful activism and links with exiled writers. On April 7, 2020, after over eight years in prison, he was released into “enforced quarantine” at an unknown location. As of 2023, Li remains under police restrictions and is unable to speak or travel freely, indicating that his release is conditional. Friends have confirmed that he is still closely monitored and not fully free.
