77-year-old Lu Qinyuan subjected to bottomless abuse of power, robbery, beatings and deprivation of personal freedom by Wuxi police
(Rights Defense Network Information Center report)On April 18, 2026,this website learned that 77-year-old Lu Qinyuan was subjected to bottomless abuse of power, robbery, beatings and deprivation of personal freedom by Wuxi police。
The 77-year-old Wuxi resident Lu Qinyuan,for speaking out for Shen Aibin, voicing her indignation on Shen Aibin’s behalf and condemning the judicial scum in Wuxi for persecuting Shen Aibin,was subjected to an all-around blockade by Wuxi police, who employed a series of abusive measures against Lu Qinyuan to prevent her from speaking out for Shen Aibin. They severed Lu Qinyuan’s contact with the outside world by robbing her of her mobile phone multiple times, and hired eight idlers to stop her from going out around the clock through thug-like tactics including interception、 pushing and shoving、 and verbal abuse。Through despicable and shameless tactics such as secretly smearing and defaming her, they incited her neighbours on both sides to cut off relations with her,attempting to isolate her,and through distortion, fabrication, smearing and defamation,intimidated, threatened and provoked Lu Qinyuan’s children, deliberately causing conflicts within her family in order to isolate her from within。
Even more shocking is that police officer Cheng Zhipeng of the Wangzhuang Road Police Station under the Xinwu Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau repeatedly illegally and forcibly arrested the elderly woman, and repeatedly locked her in a small, dark room in the basement of the police station,each time for as long as 28 hours,without any procedures and without providing her with food or drink。Are they the people’s police?They are the underworld!They are even darker and more vicious than the underworld、because we firmly believe that the underworld would not inflict such harm on a 77-year-old woman!The elderly woman has been illegally deprived of her personal freedom from October 30, 2025 to the present,and has been prevented from seeing a doctor when ill, while also being beaten by them multiple times,This conduct, calculated and malicious, devoid of humanity,exposes the evil and shamelessness of the Chinese Communist Party in Wuxi。
A 77-year-old woman has suffered such black-and-evil tactics by the Chinese Communist Party in Wuxi merely for voicing her indignation on Shen Aibin’s behalf,Is Wuxi really a place beyond the law?The elderly Lu Qinyuan called 110 and 12345 nearly 100 times,and also reported her ordeal to Nanjing 110 and 12389,but all of them remained silent,casting their statutory powers and duties aside,Is this the Chinese Communist Party’s rule of law?Is this the Chinese Communist Party’s original aspiration and mission of serving the people wholeheartedly?
Since Du Xiaogang, secretary of the Chinese Communist Party municipal committee, took office,Wuxi’s stability-maintenance tactics have been shocking. The police have become enforcers for stability maintenance, and the law has become a tool for the Wuxi Public Security Bureau to abuse its power to attack and suppress rights defenders. Illegally monitoring communications equipment, using high-definition surveillance to track rights defenders, illegally intercepting, abducting and beating rights defenders, imposing punishment without any violation of the law and initiating criminal cases without any criminal conduct,and even abusing criminal measures to maintain stability have become the customary tactics of the Chinese Communist Party’s stability maintenance in Wuxi. Such high-pressure, black-and-evil stability-maintenance tactics can only lead to public outrage, the alienation of the people and the constant intensification of social conflicts. The eventual result is frequent extreme acts of retaliation against society. Grievances cannot be resolved, yet people are repeatedly attacked and suppressed by the police through abuse of power, leaving those whose pleas go unanswered unable to release their long-term psychological repression and resentment, ultimately leading them to choose retaliation against society. The extreme incidents exposed across the country have already confirmed this fact。
On April 17, 2026,in pain and anger, elderly Lu Qinyuan issued an “Urgent Plea for Help” to the outside world in plain words(attached below)Please ask Tan Yongsheng of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau to order Zhao Hong, director of the Xinwu Branch, to immediately stop abusing power against elderly Lu Qinyuan, immediately return the property illegally robbed, and investigate police officer Cheng Zhipeng’s abuse of power. We also ask certain judicial scum in the State Security Detachment of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau to stop using shameful tactics to persecute rights defenders。
Attachment: Lu Qinyuan: Urgent Plea for Help!!!
I am Lu Qinyuan, of Room 602, No. 36, Chunchao District 2, Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province! I am 77 years old this year! My ID card number is 320222195002286927, and my mobile phone number is 17551007695。
After Shen Aibin was beaten by Dai Feng, deputy director of the Dongting Police Station in Wuxi, on October 27, 2025, police officer Cheng Zhipeng of the Wangzhuang Police Station(badge number 029732)robbed me of my new Huawei phone worth 6,000 yuan at around 9 o’clock on October 30, 2025, on my way to buy groceries, damaged the small trolley I use to buy groceries, and dragged me into a car and beat me! I asked why! Cheng Zhipeng said that Dai Feng of the Dongting Police Station had beaten Shen Aibin and said that I had also participated! I told Cheng Zhipeng to check the video and see whether I was there! They often lock me in a small, dark room. It has already been half a year since they took my Huawei phone! I have asked repeatedly, but they refuse to return it. My living expenses are only 1,200 yuan a month! Now he has sent eight people to watch me around the clock! They do not let me go out! I repeatedly begged them not to hold me back, because I urgently need medical treatment! I have been denied my freedom for nine months! Why was I not allowed to attend the trial at the People’s Court when Shen Aibin’s case was heard at 1:30 p.m. on April 9 this year on Qinglian Road! They forcibly ordered four idlers to drag me back! They insisted on depriving me of my human rights! They are completely unreasonable! Wuxi is in such chaos that it is beyond belief! Bullying ordinary people is the method of those in power! We live like slaves! They have bullied us beyond all limits! They had uninformed people rob my bag at my door! They sent thugs to come to my home and beat me, a 77-year-old woman! I was bleeding profusely at the time. An out-of-town person I did not know stabbed my arm with a sharp object! I wanted to go to the hospital, but the police station refused to let me go! I was in so much pain that I could not sleep well at night. The sharp knife used to stab me was poisoned. The stabbing caused pain in one side of my ribs for 15 days. Cheng Zhipeng said it was an old injury! He said I could “watch the surveillance footage to see how I was beaten”! My community police officer has evidence. His surname is Li(newly arrived)but I do not know his name! I have called 110 and the municipal government countless times, but no one has come out to say a word of sense! On December 12, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., police officer Huang Zhonglin came to my home and tricked me into going to the police station. When we arrived at the Wangzhuang Police Station, they robbed me of my keys, wallet and old phone, and forcibly dragged me into the basement! That night they entered my home to steal evidence! At 9 a.m. on December 23, 2025, they tricked me into going to the police station to collect the Huawei phone worth 6,000 yuan. When it was around noon, I realised something was wrong! Someone was going to arrest me!
At that time I hid beneath a long table, and they called a group of brawny out-of-town men to forcibly drag me into a small, dark room! Each time they locked me up for 28 hours! Not once did anyone bring me even a mouthful of food! Do you think ordinary people could have a good impression of them?On February 9 this year, Huang Zhonglin said that I would be released on bail pending trial. On the morning of April 10 this year, he showed me the stamped release-on-bail paperwork at the entrance to my home at No. 36! When I asked to take it, police officer Huang Zhonglin said he could not give me the release-on-bail certificate! He insisted on dragging me to the police station! Later I said that the solar water heater and gas were still on, and I finally escaped that ordeal! Now I do not dare go downstairs! Shen Aibin’s trial was held on Qinglian Road on April 9! Because I uploaded a Kuaishou video for Shen, they even want to kill me and silence me! They are local bandits, bullying ordinary people everywhere!! Save me!! Give me back my human rights! Give me back my freedom!
Person seeking help! Lu Qinyuan
