At about 9 a.m. today (May 12), a male petitioner set himself on fire after dousing himself with gasoline in front of the State Bureau of Letters and Calls. After the fire was extinguished by police with a fire extinguisher, the self-immolator was taken away by police.
According to the news provided by Wang Jing, a citizen reporter of TENET, “Ms. Guo at the scene said that a foreign male set himself on fire after pouring gasoline on his body beside a garbage can at the east side of the gate of the State Bureau of Letters and Visits this morning. The self-immolator was burned on both legs. After the fire was extinguished by the police with a fire extinguisher, the self-immolator was taken away by the police. Details are unknown.”
Another visitor, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Epoch Times, “I was devastated to see that scene, and I don’t want to talk much about it.”
On May 12, the queue of petitioners at the State Bureau of Letters and Visits could be described as a million heads drilling, and some petitioners at the scene shouted to senior officials in Zhongnanhai: “The Party Central Committee don’t sit in Zhongnanhai to enjoy the blessings, the people have been forced to a dead end by judicial corruption.”

Self-immolation site suspected of being blocked from news
Today the State Bureau of Letters and Visits queued up visitors according to the site visitors estimated that there should be tens of thousands of people. But, strangely, there is no video or information coming out about the self-immolation that happened right in front of the State Bureau of Letters and Visits.
Guangxi rights activist Li Yanjun told the Epoch Times, “Like the Chengdu 49 incident, if you take pictures at the scene, he will arrest you, the Communist Party wants to keep everything quiet. The self-immolator must have been desperate to do so, and the self-immolator wanted the whole world to know about his grievances. So, there should be a part of the scene to save people and a part to take pictures and pass them out immediately after.”
“The road to petition and the road to justice are both dead ends.”
Li Yanjun also said, “I am often imprisoned, and I also told the people arraigning me that I do not have a gun, if I had a gun I would not be here today. China is different from other countries, (the Chinese Communist regime) is very brutal, we can’t do anything at all, we really have no way to heaven, no way to earth.”
“Wang Jing, a citizen journalist for Skynet, said, “I have learned from my years of concern for Chinese society and the vast number of people who have defended their rights that the CCP’s judicial departments and petition departments are virtually useless and do not solve practical problems for the people all year round, but are used to fool the people, maintain its corrupt rule and prolong the life of its dictatorship. tools to prolong the life of its dictatorship.”
Wang Jing also said, “Since 2014, the local government’s control and suppression of petitioners has been even more brutal, not only not solving any problems for those who have been oppressed, but also sending them to prison on various charges, so that the more they sue, the more they are wronged. Some petitioners just got out of jail, and then they were put in jail again once they went to petition; some petitioners with long sentences were killed in jail; some were constantly intimidated and drugged by local public security guards, living in fear all day long …… The road to petition and justice in the Chinese Communist Party is a road to death!”
