The situation of Dong Yaoqiong, the girl who spilled the ink, has been attracting attention from the outside world. Exiled Chinese dissident Hua Chong tweeted on the evening of the 8th that Dong Yaoqiong was sent to a psychiatric hospital for the 3rd Time on the 6th. She had sent a video accusing the Chinese Communist authorities of keeping her under heavy surveillance.
In the tweet, Hua Chung mentioned that Dong Yaoqiong was sent to the psychiatric department of Zhuzhou City Hospital No. 3 by Hunan Province.
Dong Yaoqiong threw ink at Xi Jinping‘s portrait live in front of the HNA building in Shanghai on July 4, 2018, and expressed her dissatisfaction with the CCP’s dictatorship and criticized the authorities for brainwashing and persecution of the people.
She was sent back to her hometown in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, where she has been hospitalized twice on the grounds that she is mentally ill. After she was discharged from the hospital last year, she forwarded a video plea for help through Xiang Lin, a 1989 pro-democracy activist living in Japan, in late November.
In the video, Dong emphasizes that she is not mentally ill, but that the authorities forced her into the psychiatric hospital, and that she is now assigned to work at a local government department, which is a disguised form of close surveillance with no freedom at all.
Hunan rights activist Ou Biaofeng also tweeted the video in solidarity with Dong Yaoqiong, but was immediately placed under administrative detention by Zhuzhou police for 15 days for “provoking and provoking trouble,” and then placed under residential surveillance by public security officials for allegedly “inciting subversion of state power.
In late January, Dong Yaoqiong tweeted the reason for Ou Biaofeng’s detention. She said that after Ou Biaofeng forwarded her distress video, a U.S. diplomat requested a private meeting with her through Ou Biaofeng, but she confessed that there were difficulties and that she was under full control.
However, Dong Yaoqiong’s Twitter account is currently unavailable for viewing.
