After the city was closed in Wuhan, Fang Bin broadcasted live on the streets several times what he saw and heard. (Video capture)
Fang Bin, a citizen journalist in Wuhan, has not been heard from since he was taken from his Home by public security officials for more than a year after exposing information about the Epidemic concealed by the Chinese Communist Party at the height of the city’s outbreak. Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School, shared a video on Twitter calling on all sectors to pay attention to Fang Bin and not to give up the search for him.
On March 5, Cai Xia tweeted a video of citizen journalist Fang Bin, calling for outside attention to the recent situation of Fang Bin. Cai Xia said, “a year, it seems that the outside world can not get any news of Fang Bin, heartbreaking. We can’t forget Fang Bin, we can’t give up looking for him.”
Cai Xia said, “borrowed a famous saying: ‘for the people to hold the salary, can not make it freeze to death in the snow; for freedom to open the road, can not make it stuck in the thorns’. Where exactly is Fang Bin?”
Fang Bin is a businessman in Wuhan who, dissatisfied with the Chinese Communist authorities’ cover-up of the epidemic, went to various hospitals in Wuhan on February 1 to photograph the actual situation when the city was closed to the public during the outbreak. He filmed the “removal of eight bodies in five minutes” at Wuhan Hospital No. 5, which caused a sensation at home and abroad.
On February 10, he was arrested again and has not been heard from since.
On Nov. 23 last year, Wang Jianhong, director of the overseas human rights organization Humane China, tweeted that after Wuhan was unsealed, Fang Bin’s Family repeatedly went to the Houhu police station to inquire about his whereabouts, but to no avail. The head of the police station recently told Fang Bin’s son that “Fang Bin’s case is closely related to the U.S. election, and we have to wait for the results of the U.S. election before deciding what to do with Fang Bin.
Wang Jianhong said angrily: “Can you go farther? The family most want to know is Fang Bin is dead or alive? Where is being held? In the end what crime was committed!”
At the Time, many netizens speculated, “It may be that Trump will be released when he comes to power. Biden will not have to be released when he comes to power, because there is nothing to worry about, from now on the world is under the feet of the communists.”
At the time, some netizens also questioned, “A police station chief even knew about the connection with the U.S. election? The leader must have told him, and I believe he told the truth. Look at the situation in Hong Kong, how many celebrities have been arrested this week! Biden will arrest even more if he comes to power.”
After the new U.S. administration of Joe Biden took office on January 20, the Chinese Communist Party has been even more reckless in arresting pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong. In recent days, 47 pro-democracy activists have been tried in court for violating state law.
Fang Bin, who is being held in China, has not been heard from at all. Previously, it was reported that Fang Bin was being held in Wuchang prison.
Before Fang’s arrest, citizen journalist Chen Qiushi was lost on Feb. 7 of last year. He told his mother on his YouTube channel that day that he was going to film the situation at the Fang Cabin Hospital in Wuhan, and then lost contact. Subsequently, former CCTV anchor Li Zehua and citizen journalist Zhang Zhan were also arrested one after another.
In April last year, Li Zehua made a video to report his safety, and said that the world seemed different to him since he disappeared for more than a month, and seemed to have a hard time talking about it.
In October of the same year, Radio Television Hong Kong said that Chen Qiushi had returned to his hometown in Qingdao and was still under residential surveillance, with the authorities not allowing him to access the Internet, send messages, or allow outside visits; in December, citizen journalist Zhang Zhan was sentenced to 4.5 years for “provoking and provoking trouble.
