Wuxi petitioner Chen Fengdi intercepted, kidnapped and beaten while petitioning in Beijing, suffering four broken ribs
(Rights Defense Network Information Center report)On March 21, 2026,this outlet learned:Wuxi petitioner Chen Fengdi was intercepted, kidnapped and beaten while petitioning in Beijing, resulting in four broken ribs。
On March 16, 2026,Wuxi's Liangxi District petitioner Chen Fengdi and two companions went to Beijing to report their grievances to relevant state departments,and as soon as they arrived at Beijing South Railway Station,they were stopped by Beijing police,and subsequently handed over to the Wuxi Office in Beijing,where they were detained at the Beijing Jinghua Hotel operated by the Office in Beijing (a black jail established by the Chinese Communist Party's Wuxi authorities in Beijing) and had their mobile phones and personal belongings taken,that evening,personnel from Wuxi's Liangxi public security、petitioning and subdistrict offices drove them back to Wuxi in a sedan,on the way,the three firmly resisted,and when the vehicle reached Shandong,three burly men got in,and immediately attacked the three,Chen Fengdi and the other two were not afraid and resisted firmly,but the three men beat them violently,knocking all three to the ground,Chen Fengdi suffered four broken ribs and multiple injuries across her body,while the other two also suffered multiple injuries across their bodies。
After arriving in Wuxi,to prevent information from leaking,Wuxi public security and petitioning authorities,together with the subdistrict office,detained the three at a police station for 24 hours,then confined them in their homes,preventing them from contacting or communicating with the outside world,and Chen Fengdi and the other two are still being deprived of their personal freedom。
It was also learned that Yan Xiangping,a petitioner from Guangyi Subdistrict in Wuxi's Liangxi District,bought a train ticket on the afternoon of March 17 to go to Beijing to report her grievances,but as soon as she entered the station,she was kidnapped and taken back by the police station in her locality without any legal procedures,and was released after being detained at the police station for 24 hours。
It is understood that Chen Fengdi became the target of a series of abuses of power,including collusion between the Shanghai and Wuxi courts to issue an unlawful joint ruling over a labor dispute during her employment in Shanghai,followed by the Wuxi court's deliberate unlawful sentencing and fabrication of evidence to seize her property。
Yan Xiangping began her rights-defense efforts in 2025,after the shop premises she rented from the Guangyi Subdistrict Community Health Service Center in Wuxi's Liangxi District were sublet to a secondary landlord,and the Liangxi District Health Commission,as the immediate superior authority of the Guangyi Subdistrict Community Health Service Center,refused to compensate her for the buildings constructed during her rental period。
Regarding the Chinese Communist Party's Wuxi authorities' mafia-style means of maintaining stability,lawyer Zhao said bluntly:“These methods completely depart from the Party Constitution and the Constitution,completely disregard Party discipline and the law of the land,and completely disregard citizens' personal and property safety,making them extremely dangerous conduct,which should be punished by law,otherwise,if this tyranny continues for a long time,the people will lose faith,the foundation of its rule will cease to exist,and the country will descend into chaos。”
Mr. Zhu,81,said:“I was born under the red flag and grew up under the red flag,and I served as a village leader,but I never imagined that the Communist Party today would be completely rotten and degenerate,more vicious than the Japanese invaders and bandits,so where is the way for ordinary people to live now?From top to bottom it is all empty formalism,saying that it is the world's best,while doing the world's worst,deceiving and hoodwinking ordinary people。”
Mr. Du,72,said:“Now the Communist Party treats the petitioners and rights defenders who are the most vulnerable and at the bottom of society as if they were terrorists and enemies to be guarded against,what does that show about how fragile they have become?They have now positioned themselves in opposition to the people,how long can this regime survive?”
