Shanghai Visiting Activist Ding Shuiping Detained for Nine Months Calls for Help to the Outside World

Shanghai Pudong New Area farmer Ding Shuiping, who was abducted by local stability maintenance personnel from Beijing and returned to Shanghai in October 2023, has been under house arrest at home for 9 months without personal freedom. Recently, she reached out to seek help from the outside world!

Ding Shuiping, located in two homestead houses in Beicai Town and Huamu Street of Pudong, had her houses forcibly demolished in 2013 without any procedures, and the government did not provide compensation or resettlement.

Since then, Ding Shuiping started to petition for her rights. During the process, she was repeatedly criminally detained without any official procedures, and suffered various forms of oppression and torment, including being hooded and imprisoned.

Ding Shuiping told a reporter, “On October 28, 2023, I was kidnapped by the petition office personnel and several black security guards from my rental place in Beijing and brought back to Shanghai. Since then, I have been confined at home, with members of the underworld guarding my door day and night to prevent me from going out. Cameras were installed at my doorstep, and someone on the second floor of the building across from mine used a telescope to monitor my house. As soon as night falls, my front gate is blocked.”

“I was unlawfully restricted in my personal freedom and detained by the Beicai Town government when I tried to uphold my rights according to the law. When I called 110 to report it, the police did not take action. I tried to complain through 12345, but the call cannot get through now. The Constitution does not hold the authority it should in the eyes of these people!” she said.

Ding Shuiping also mentioned, “After being kidnapped back to Shanghai last year, my husband was hit by a car in the community. Since I was confined at home at that time, they did not allow me to accompany him to the hospital. His wound did not receive proper care, and it still oozes pus till now.”

She hopes that the outside world will pay more attention to her situation.

The Epoch Times reporter made several failed attempts to reach Cao Minrui, the director of the Beicai Town petition office.

As the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party is about to be held, the authorities are intensifying stability maintenance efforts. On July 10th, 70-year-old Lu Liming from Yangpu District in Shanghai was illegally intercepted and sent back by Shanghai stability maintenance personnel in Beijing. Currently, Lu Liming’s phone is switched off. It is speculated that he might have been sent to a black prison.

Lu Liming’s private house was illegally demolished by the government in 2006 and has not been resolved for 18 years. He has been petitioning about this all along. Due to his petitioning activities, Lu Liming was sent to a psychiatric hospital in 2016 and has been illegally detained and criminally detained more than thirty times. He was also sentenced to one and a half years in prison.
