Wuxi Authorities Detain, Kidnap and Confine Petitioners During the Fifth Plenum in the Name of Stability Maintenance

(Rights Defense Network Information Center report) On October 28, 2026, this outlet learned that during the Fifth Plenum, the Chinese Communist authorities in Wuxi detained, kidnapped and confined petitioners in the name of stability maintenance.

On October 27, 2026, Gu Xuexing, a petitioner from Xishan District, Wuxi, went to Beijing and was intercepted by the Wuxi Office in Beijing at Beijing South Railway Station. He was then immediately forcibly taken back by Wuxi Xishan police and petition affairs personnel. After arriving in Wuxi in the early hours of the 28th, he was unlawfully confined at home.

On October 26, 2026, Fan Yongping, a petitioner from Huishan District, Wuxi, was at Wuxi Railway Station preparing to go to Nanjing when people dispatched by the head of the Shanbei Police Station of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau forcibly intercepted him and kidnapped him back home. Personnel were then stationed outside his shop around the clock to keep watch and prevent him from leaving home. The same day, Jiang Longmei, a petitioner from Liangxi District, Wuxi, was also forcibly taken home from Wuxi Railway Station by police from her registered-place-of-residence jurisdiction. Security company personnel were assigned to unlawfully confine her at home and prevent her from buying groceries or cooking. Jiang Longmei called the police, but the police told Jiang Longmei to negotiate with the security company.

In addition, on October 24 and 25, 2026, Zhu Leying, a petitioner from Xishan, Wuxi, went to the District Natural Resources and Planning Bureau to raise concerns and was twice summoned verbally by the Dongting Police Station of the Xishan Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau and held at the police station for eight hours. Huang Minju, a petitioner from Xinwu District, Wuxi, went to the Xinwu District Government to petition and raise concerns, but was forcibly kidnapped and taken back by community workers, then unlawfully confined at home by hired underworld figures.

According to petitioner rights defender You Mouying in Wuxi, during the Fifth Plenum, the Chinese Communist authorities in Wuxi have been absolutely top-tier in their crackdown on petitioners and rights defenders, and the whole city is under a state of terror-like stability maintenance that is ahead of schedule. All information on rights defenders is controlled and monitored in real time by the police, the biggest underworld gang.

According to another Wuxi rights defender, Chen Moudi, the Chinese Communist authorities in Wuxi are now using every means to attack and suppress rights defenders. The police are being used as thugs for criminal forces, leaving rights defenders in a situation where calling to heaven brings no answer. If the Communist Party continues this way, it will certainly lose public support and certainly fall from power; otherwise, another “Mao Zedong” will emerge to overthrow the three mountains of the current “black government,” “black judiciary” and “black police,” shatter the “Chinese Dream” in which ordinary people are worse off than dead, and awaken the people.
