The one-year-old Outward Bound Jianghu Knight Alliance has suffered a crackdown. The owner of the alliance disappeared after being arrested by Beijing police at the end of February. His father sent an open letter for help on March 15, pleading for the network enthusiasts to lend a helping hand and raise legal fees. But the letter was quickly deleted and the fundraising account was blocked.
Chen Guojiang’s father posted a letter on the WeChat public number of the “Delivery Jiang Hu Knights Alliance”, saying that after his son’s arrest on February 25, his Family had not received any notice of detention from the relevant authorities, and that consulting with a lawyer had revealed that this was a serious violation of the Criminal Procedure Law, which states that the public security authorities “shall, within twenty-four hours of detention, notify the detained person of the This is a serious violation of the criminal procedure law, the public security organs “shall, within twenty-four hours of detention, notify the detainee’s family” provisions.
The father of the owner said, as a rural family, their family of four (the owner has two sisters) all rely on part-Time jobs to make a living, and he is only living on a monthly salary of 600 yuan (RMB), so he really cannot afford to hire a lawyer, and can only plead for help from people on the Internet to raise funds.
The letter gives the real name WeChat and Alipay accounts of the second daughter, Chen Duoyun, and includes the information of the family register, which shows that Chen Wanhua is the head of the family, Chen Guojiang is the eldest son, born in 1990, and the second daughter is named Chen Duoyun. The registration date of the household book is April 2010. A photo of Chen Wanhua holding an ID card was also provided.
The netizen quickly responded by saying, “This article is completely going through legal channels and forwarding it will not bring any risk, so please ask your friends in the group to mobilize as soon as possible and turn to WeChat, Weibo, qq, Zhihu, B station and all the other platforms inside the wall.” “To prevent deletion, I hope you save all the pictures in the text in advance, especially the donation QR code!”
But Chen’s father’s message was still quickly blocked. Netizens also found that WeChat restricted Chen Duo Yun’s account, and the transfer party was prompted “the other party’s account suspected of fraud violations”. Some people were warned three times before the transfer was successful. Netizens warned, “WeChat is no longer able to donate, it’s blocked. Please transfer to Alipay or bank card!”
The Delivery Jianghu Knight Alliance is a WeChat group and public number created by delivery man Chen Guojiang. Chen Guojiang previously used the screen name Xiong Yan. He worked in a variety of jobs in his early years as a restaurant owner, and in 2019, because of the poor living environment and unprotected rights of riders found in the delivery work, he began to create this platform with the main idea of helping each other through WeChat. The alliance, which also provides legal support in addition to interviewing and recording the problems encountered by takeaway workers in their daily labor, has accumulated a lot of attention.
Chen Guojiang has said that “he currently has 16 WeChat groups in Beijing and more than 14,000 WeChat friends, 99.99% of whom are riders, including those who are about to become riders and those who were riders before.”
Chen Guojiang was detained by police for 26 days in October 2019 for mobilizing takeaway riders to defend their rights by refusing to take orders. On February 18 this year, Chen Tianhe sent a video accusing “hungry”, “Meituan” and other takeaway platforms to launch the reward activities are suspected of deception, resulting in riders can not get the full amount of the event bonus 8200 yuan, the same as the “snub” rider to stay in Beijing. “On February 19, “hungry” in the official microblogging apologized to the riders, promised to increase compensation activities. It is not known if this incident is related to Chen’s arrest.
Radio Free Asia revealed earlier that after Chen Tianhe’s arrest, other members of the Riders’ Alliance had planned to hold a massive strike on March 8 in solidarity with Chen Tianhe, but the plan was not implemented.
Outsiders believe that Chen Tianhe was arrested because the Riders’ Alliance had contacted tens of thousands of riders and was so influential that it frightened the Chinese Communist government.
