Another Atrocity in the Chinese Communist Party’s Stability Maintenance Campaign in Wuxi: Wuxi Residents Chen Fengdi, Wu Lanzhen and Tao Yueqin Kidnapped in Beijing and Beaten While Being Taken Back, Leaving Chen Fengdi with 11 Fractures

（(Rights Defense Network Information Center report)）On April 15, 2026, this website learned that another atrocity has occurred in the Chinese Communist Party’s stability maintenance campaign in Wuxi: Wuxi residents Chen Fengdi, Wu Lanzhen and Tao Yueqin were kidnapped in Beijing and beaten while being taken back, leaving Chen Fengdi with 11 fractures.

On March 17, 2026, the three Wuxi residents Chen Fengdi, Wu Lanzhen and Tao Yueqin (all middle-aged or elderly women) went to Beijing to handle lawful affairs. At noon that day, multiple unidentified individuals violently kidnapped the three women, forcibly took control of them and brought them to the Jinghua Hotel in Beijing’s Fengtai District (the Chinese Communist Party’s Beijing office established by Wuxi, which is actually a black jail), where they were illegally detained in Room 1111. They were also subjected to long-term restrictions on their personal freedom in that room, and their freedom of movement was completely deprived. The three women repeatedly used their mobile phones to call 110 for police assistance, but the Beijing public security authorities never dispatched officers, leaving them in continuous danger.

At approximately 5 p.m. that afternoon, when the three women made their final attempt to report the incident, their mobile phones were immediately seized. All recordings, videos and other evidentiary materials on the phones were then destroyed, completely cutting off their channels for seeking help from the outside world.

Subsequently, the three women were forced into a commercial vehicle with license plate 京AMB981 (a vehicle long used by Wuxi to kidnap and transport petitioners), which drove from Beijing to Wuxi. Along the way, the three women repeatedly leaned half of their bodies out of the vehicle windows, waved for help and shouted for their lives. They engaged in fierce confrontations with the kidnappers and were violently beaten by the escorts.

On the morning of March 18, 2026, the vehicle entered Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and drove directly into the compound of Shanbei Police Station of the Liangxi Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau. At that point, Chen Fengdi was unable to move because of the violent beating, and was subsequently taken to hospital by a 120 emergency ambulance for treatment.

Hospital diagnosis: multiple fractures totaling 11 ribs—the fourth through eighth ribs on the right chest, the anterior fifth through seventh ribs and posterior eighth through tenth ribs on the left chest; nonunion of the left ulnar styloid; and partial discontinuity of the cortical bone at the distal left radius (seriously affecting hand function).

Wu Lanzhen suffered an injury to the triangular fibrocartilage of the left wrist joint, an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament, slight thickening of the synovium around the distal ulna accompanied by a small amount of fluid, and a cystic lesion beside the radial carpal tunnel.

During the beatings, the perpetrators explicitly admitted that they had been instructed by Xue Chunzhuo, deputy director of Shanbei Police Station of the Liangxi Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau, and had traveled specially from Zhengzhou to Beijing to carry out the operation.

Chen Fengdi and Wu Lanzhen repeatedly submitted criminal reports and applications for injury assessments to Shanbei Police Station while at the hospital and afterward, but the station refused to accept them. Left with no alternative, they filed complaints with the Beijing Municipal People’s Procuratorate, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

Facts and grounds

I. Basic facts concerning the complainants’ kidnapping, unlawful detention and beating

On March 17, 2026, the three complainants (all middle-aged or elderly women) went to Beijing to handle lawful affairs. At noon that day, multiple unidentified individuals violently kidnapped the complainants, forcibly took control of them and brought them to the Jinghua Hotel in Beijing, where they were illegally detained in Room 1111. The complainants were subjected to long-term restrictions on their personal freedom in the room, and their freedom of movement was completely deprived.

II. Reporting the incident produced no result; phones were seized and evidence destroyed

During their unlawful detention, the complainants repeatedly used their mobile phones to call 110 for police assistance, but the public security authorities did not promptly dispatch officers, leaving the complainants in continuous danger.

At approximately 5 p.m. that afternoon, when the complainants made their final attempt to report the incident, the criminal suspects forcibly seized their mobile phones on the spot and destroyed all recordings, videos and other evidentiary materials on the phones, completely cutting off the complainants’ channels for seeking help from outside. This conduct violated Article 263 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China and constituted robbery; the destruction of evidence violated Article 286 of the Criminal Law and constituted the crime of intentional destruction of computer information systems and the crime of dereliction of duty in network services.

III. Calling for help during the transfer; roadside surveillance can corroborate the account

Subsequently, the criminal suspects forcibly took the complainants away from the Jinghua Hotel and placed them in the commercial vehicle with license plate 京AMB981 for an interregional transfer. While the vehicle was traveling, the complainants repeatedly leaned half of their bodies out of the windows, waved for help and shouted for their lives. Electronic surveillance equipment on the roads, at checkpoints and at toll stations along the route should have recorded the entire process of the complainants calling for help and the vehicle’s journey. The above surveillance footage is key evidence proving that the complainants were illegally kidnapped, detained and transferred. We respectfully request that your procuratorate obtain it in accordance with the law.

IV. Taken to Shanbei Police Station with extremely serious injuries

On the morning of March 18, 2026, the commercial vehicle 京AMB981 traveled to Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and drove directly into the compound of Shanbei Police Station. Because the complainants had suffered severe beatings, they were unable to move on their own and were subsequently taken to hospital by a 120 emergency ambulance for emergency treatment.

Hospital diagnosis:

Complainant 1: Multiple fractures totaling 11 ribs—the fourth through eighth ribs on the right chest, the anterior fifth through seventh ribs and posterior eighth through tenth ribs on the left chest; nonunion of the left ulnar styloid; and partial discontinuity of the cortical bone at the distal left radius (seriously affecting hand function).

Complainant 2: Injury to the triangular fibrocartilage of the left wrist joint, injury to the ulnar collateral ligament, slight thickening of the synovium around the distal ulna accompanied by a small amount of fluid, and a cystic lesion beside the radial carpal tunnel.

The above injuries are all corroborated by medical documents, including CT reports, DR reports, magnetic resonance imaging reports, diagnostic certificates and 120 emergency records. According to the Standards for the Identification of the Degree of Human Injury, fractures of 11 ribs meet the standard for serious injury, while the hand injury meets the standard for minor injury, fully satisfying the conditions for opening a criminal case.

V. Perpetrators explicitly admitted that they had been instructed by Xue Chunzhuo, deputy director of Shanbei Police Station

During the beating, the perpetrators explicitly admitted that the crime had been ordered by Xue Chunzhuo, deputy director of Shanbei Police Station of the Liangxi Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau, and that auxiliary police officers from the station had been dispatched specially from Zhengzhou to Beijing to carry it out. It constituted a serious, premeditated and organized violent crime spanning regions and targeting citizens defending their rights.

If this fact is verified, the deputy director and auxiliary police officer among the respondents constituted joint offenders. The deputy director was the principal offender who gave instructions, planned and instigated the crime, while the auxiliary police officer was the direct perpetrator. Both should be held criminally liable in accordance with the law.

VI. Shanbei Police Station refused to accept the report and refused an injury assessment

The complainants repeatedly submitted criminal reports and applications for injury assessments to Shanbei Police Station while at the hospital and afterward, but the station publicly refused to accept them without legitimate reason and refused to issue injury-assessment referral letters, deliberately shielding the persons involved and obstructing the initiation of criminal proceedings. This conduct is suspected of constituting perverting the course of justice and abuse of authority, seriously infringing upon the complainants’ lawful rights and interests and undermining public confidence in the judiciary.

2. Cross-regional commission of the crime: The criminal group traveled from Zhengzhou to Beijing to carry out the kidnapping and then transferred the victims to Wuxi, involving multiple provinces and cities;

3. Extremely cruel methods: The perpetrators beat middle-aged and elderly women while they were naked, causing serious injuries including 11 broken ribs;

4. Destruction of evidence: The perpetrators robbed the mobile phones and destroyed recordings and videos, obstructing justice;

5. Evasion of accountability: The police station where the incident occurred refused to accept the case, refused an assessment and shielded the criminals.
