The death of a student in Chengdu 49th Middle School in Sichuan Province continues to ferment. Parents and people continue to speak out for the truth, but the police have activated the stability maintenance mode, arresting and beating people. Xie Junbiao, a citizen of Chengdu who defends his rights, was arrested after only spectating and taking pictures.
Chengdu Shuangliu citizen Xie Junbiao told reporters that at around 10:30 a.m. on May 11, he went to the entrance of 49 Middle School and saw a total of about ten police cars parked nearby, one of which was a bus, the kind of bus used to arrest people for loading.
“There were 30 to 40 onlookers, and one after another, some went and some came.” He said, “(These people) are mainly middle-aged women, heard them say, ‘We are also parents, we are not comfortable with this thing in our hearts, not convinced ah. We just want to know what’s going on with this? We just want to know the truth about this.’ So they are there to watch, but then they are afraid to take pictures.”
“They said that if they spoke a little louder, the police would come and interfere with them; not to mention taking pictures, taking pictures would be arrested.” He said.
Xie Junbiao said there are about five or six plainclothes at the school gate, which should be state security, watching to keep people from taking pictures. The parents also told him that several people had been arrested before for taking pictures.
He said, “Then I stood across the street from the school entrance to take pictures, and a state security officer came straight across the street and pointed at me and shouted, ‘Xie Junbiao! You can’t take pictures!’ Then he recruited two or three policemen and carried me to the police car.”
“Two auxiliary police officers controlled me, skimming my hands to the back, escorting prisoners of that action, a police officer slapped me twice, and later pulled me to his that police station. In the corner he hit me again, slapped a few.”
Xie Junbiao was held in Chenghua District Jumping Stomp River police station for more than two hours, until the leaders of Shuangliu District Yixin police station came to take over. Xie Junbiao said he would not leave, to complain about the police beating, to find the director, but was forced to carry the car pulled back to Shuangliu, and later released.
He said he came home and found it particularly difficult to climb over the wall, “every time this is the case, a major thing, come back I can not climb the wall. Leave a message are very difficult, the wall software will be broken in a while, can not send.”
Xie Junbiao also posted a few days ago that the police station leaders warned him to pay attention online on the line, do not go to the scene around. “Every time you go to the scene will be arrested away, online concern forwarding and often be tea, and even many times provoked. Concern and forwarding is the duty of a qualified and conscientious citizen.” He said.
A current journalism student also posted online about a similar encounter. He and his classmates came to 49 Central early in the morning to take photos, and the police threatened them all to hand over their phones, delete all the photos and backups, and to “take them back to the bureau” in one breath.

The student said he brought his camera with him in the afternoon and recorded the people bowing and laying flowers to the deceased, and the people standing together and shouting: “Truth! The truth!” At 8:30 p.m., many police officers suddenly came out of the school, pulling journalists’ hair and clothes, beating people and arresting them, and the scene was chaotic.
He said he ran to the other side of the road with his camera in his arms, “not knowing exactly which people were detained in the school, it was chaotic and scary.” A female reporter had a small piece of flesh grabbed off her hand by the police and kept bleeding as the boy protecting her was taken into the school.
