The Chinese Communist Party authorities in Guangzhou conducted an illegal mass arrest and news blackout of pro-democracy activists on November 12, 2020. Family members, friends and lawyers of Fan Yiping, Fan Wencheng, Hu Tianfeng, Lai Jianjun, Ah Long and his father and son were threatened and suppressed.
The authorities have blocked information and prevented lawyers from seeing the arrested activists, and very little information has come out.
After being arrested, Hu Tianfeng, Fan Yiping and Fan Wencheng were first assigned to residential surveillance, then criminally detained on January 27 at the Guangzhou Security Bureau Detention Center in Huadu District, and later arrested on suspicion of “subversion of state power. There is no news on the other three.
A human rights lawyer on the mainland said, “This case is a ‘crime of subversion of state power’ and a case run by the Chinese Communist Party’s State Security Bureau, so it can be understood that it is not a common case of incitement to subversion, such as posting comments against the Chinese Communist Party on the Internet, but is similar to the cases of Xiang Fengxuan and Zhang Lumao in Guangzhou some years ago. Zhang Liumao’s case in Guangzhou, Deng Hongcheng’s case in Shenzhen, or earlier in Changsha, Li Mingzhe and Peng Yuhua’s case, that is, something other than speech.”
“One reason is that such cases are more sensitive than ordinary dissidents’ “speech incitement”, and the authorities’ control is stronger; secondly, the families dare not say anything, and of course, the families actually don’t know anything; thirdly, the lawyers have no way to intervene, just like the cases mentioned above, and finally are party-arranged lawyers, and now after the verdict even the verdict can not get, only by the individual parties released from prison narrative to reveal something.”
The “1112 arrests” took place on November 12, 2020, when Fan Yiping and Fan Wencheng were arrested. on November 19, 2020, Guangzhou State Security went to Hu Tianfeng’s company and arrested him separately, taking away two security uniforms and an old police uniform from his Home.
The person said, “Before being arrested, Hu Tianfeng and Fan Wencheng wanted to partner to run a security company, but has not officially started, not even a security guard was not recruited before being arrested. (Last year) December 10, Hu Tianfeng also called home twice, said only to do an auxiliary investigation, and soon went out, but then there is no news.”
“We do not answer the phone calls to the case department, and requests for visits were also refused.” The informant said, “Up to now, including Hu Tianfeng’s family and us, can not figure out what he was arrested for, until now no news has been revealed at all.”
The information shows that back in 2002, Hu Tianfeng went to Beijing to defend his mother’s rights because of a medical accident, and was beaten up by interceptors at the Petition Bureau, and later he joined the armed police force. 2004, he was a police officer at a police station in Shenzhen, during which he met many people and helped democratic rights activists who were in a difficult Life situation.
He later resigned from his post, actively practicing the concept of democracy and freedom, speaking out for the underprivileged, campaigning for trafficked children, and appealing for free Education, which was suppressed by the Communist Party authorities in Guangdong.
Another arrested pro-democracy activist, Fan Yiping, has been involved in China’s democracy movement for many years, and as a result, he is monitored and his personal freedom is restricted at every sensitive Time.
In 1998, Fan was sentenced to three years in prison for hosting dissident Wang Bingzhang, who had secretly returned to China, and for helping dissident Wang Xizhe to go into exile in the United States; in 2014, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the June 4 Incident, the Guangzhou authorities charged him with “provoking and provoking trouble. “On the eve of the 25th anniversary of June 4, 2014, Guangzhou authorities detained Fan Yiping for 15 days and searched his apartment on charges of “provoking and provoking trouble.
The sources said they hope the international community will pay attention. “They all have a heart of Gold and no selfishness. I admire them for their courage to persist in fighting against the Chinese Communist Party on the mainland.”
