A number of policemen and plain-clothes officers beat up a dozen petitioners in Chengdu on Tuesday (March 25) in the streets before kidnapping them to a police station as American First Lady Michelle Obama arrives in the city.
Yang Xiulan, one of the petitioners said she and her three friends were brutally hit. Her friend Chen Hong passed out. All four were put in a police vehicle and taken to the Shuangliu Police Patrol Team. “They don’t allow us to leave,” she said on the phone to the 64 Tianwang Human Rights Affairs Center, a Chengdu-based NGO. They were attacked while boarding a bus near Jiuyan Bridge in Chengdu around 11:30am. The other two petitioners were Jiang Mei and Yan Tafeng.
Around 2:20pm today, a petitioner named Wang Hongyan told the 64 Tianwang center that she and seven other petitioners were kidnapped by police and taken to the Shuangliu Police Patrol team. The police took away Wang’s cell phone when she was trying to call the emergency hotline. Apart from Wang, the names of seven other petitioners are: Chen Guoqiong, Wu Suqiong, Lu Xiuqing, Yuan Zhongxiu, Jiang Mei, Zhuang Fuying and Yang Xiulan. They were strolling in the streets of Chengdu this afternoon when the police attacked them.
All the petitioners kidnapped today are villagers who lost their homes or farmland in land grabbing and forceful demolition by the government and developers.
Mrs Obama is scheduled to be in Chengdu for two days to visit the Chengdu Number Seven High School, a panda sanctuary and will have a meal in a Tibetan restaurant. She’s accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha, and her mother Marian Robinson.
They have visited Beijing and Xi’an and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan. A number of Chinese dissidents have been detained or put under house arrest. One young tour guide collapsed at the Terra-cotta Warriors museum in Xi’an after police hit and kicked him while driving away everyone from the site before the First Family showed up on Monday.
