[Wuhan Pneumonia] Rejected by the Court to prosecute the Chinese government for concealing the epidemic, a Chinese family member of the deceased is being harassed and under surveillance.
(22 Jun) More than 80,000 people have been diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia in China so far. A family member of the deceased in Wuhan, China had filed a lawsuit against the Chinese government for covering up the epidemic, claiming about 2 million RMB and demanding an investigation into the officials' dereliction of duty. That family member was immediately harassed at their front door and placed under surveillance. Recently, he confirmed to the media that the court had decided to refuse to accept his case.
A family member of the deceased, Xhang Hai, confirmed to Taiwan's “The Liberty Times” on June 17 that he had received a phone call from the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court saying that his case is not filed because it did not meet the conditions without further explanation. Xhang Hai queried the lack of fairness and justice in the law, saying "(The rule of law in China is) too dark". Apple Daily today also published an interview with Zhang Hai, who stated that he would not give up, despite the court's verbal notification that the case would not be filed, saying that “my father was killed by someone, by the murderer, and (if) you're the murderer who killed my father, I am sure I won't let you go, and I don't care who you are.”
He also disclosed that since the establishment of the legal advisory group in early March this year, the group had received enquiries from more than 20 families. However, the families were under surveillance by the authority, many of were "greeted" by phone calls from the police. In the end, only Zhang Hai was willing to file a lawsuit.
The father of Zhang Hai, a native of Wuhan China, was a veteran of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in charge of nuclear weapons. He suffered a bone fracture this January in Shenzhen. The unit to which he belongs said that medical expenses would be reimbursed only if he was treated in Wuhan, but did not mention the Wuhan epidemic. Zhang Hai sent his father back to Wuhan for an operation, whom died of Wuhan pneumonia in the hospital.
Zhang Hai later found that the hospital had an isolation ward for the treatment of Wuhan pneumonia patients, but the hospital did not inform him of the risks and did not provide proper protection against the virus. He also believed that if the Chinese government had not covered up the epidemic, he would not have returned to Wuhan with his father and therefore decided to seek compensation through legal means. He recently filed a lawsuit with the Wuhan Intermediate Court against the Wuhan Municipal Government, the Hubei Provincial Government and the Wuhan General Hospital of PLA, asking the court to confirm that the Wuhan and Hubei governments broke the law by concealing the epidemic from the public. He also requested that the two city governments should apologize publicly and he claimed about 2 million RMB in compensation.

Wife of Chinese human rights lawyer Yu Wensheng: (My) Husband Was Secretly Sentenced and Inter-Provincially Imprisoned. The Law in China Is Merely “On Paper”.
(24 Jun) Chinese human rights lawyer Yu Wensheng, who assisted the arrestees of "709 Mass Arrests," was sentenced to four years in prison by the Xuzhou City Intermediate People's Court in China for "inciting subversion of state power”.
In an interview with The Stand News, Xu Yan, the wife of Yu Wensheng, criticized Chinese law is merely well-developed “on paper”, while it breached the legal system to “secretly sentence” her husband without even noticing his family and defence attorney in advance. Xu has met with officials from seven countries to ensure her husband's right to appeal and his right to see his family.
As a Beijing native, Xu was detained in Jiangsu Province in Xuzhou, which is 1600 km away from Beijing. Since Yu was arrested the year before last, Xu has been going to Xuzhou once every 20 days to petition and defend human rights, spending more than 100,000 Chinese Yuan on train tickets, food and accommodation, but she has not been able to see her husband. Despite facing all kinds of hardships, she persevered, “because I believe that my husband is innocent”.
//the law in China “on paper” is well-developed, where the constitution provides human rights such as freedom of speech, but since the case of Yu, she has not received any indictment and verdict, even a trial was held without informing his family or lawyers.
//she was held in a police station for 19 hours without food or water, and was once interrogated in a torture "tiger chair", unable to move for nine hours.
//what happened at home has hurt her son deeply, “He locks the door as soon as he gets home and sleeps in a tent, feeling insecure”

Fifth anniversary of 709 Crackdown puts Hong Kong national security law in the spotlight, Chinese and Hong Kong lawyers concerned about future "Hong Kong version 709"
(8 Jul) The fifth anniversary of the "709 Crackdown" in mainland China is approaching. Currently in political asylum in the US, Chinese human rights lawyer, Chen Jiangang, had handled the cases of Xie Yang, Li Heping, Wang Quanzhang and Jiang Tianyong in the 709 incident. Chen was prohibited from leaving China until last year when he was threatened for handling the case of Zhou Yongkang's daughter-in-law, Fiona Huang. He and his family fled to the US that same year in July. Chen pointed out that the Hong Kong national security law should not be viewed from a legal perspective as it is intrinsically not a law. Rather, it represents that "the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can openly push their authority on Hong Kong. This is in their nature."
//the implementation of the Hong Kong national security law was like "sticking a knife" into more than 100 years of Common Law practice and changing it beyond recognition.
//self-censorship is already occurring in Hong Kong. He is concerned that a "'Hong Kong version' of 709 Crackdown may follow."
//under President Xi Jinping, the Administrative Procedure Law and the State Compensation Law were left stranded.
//During the pandemic, the CCP tightly monitored the family members of those deceased from the virus, "If five or more family members of the deceased interacted with each other, they had to be caught."

He also said the US government is deeply concerned by China's attempts to disbar lawyers appointed by families in “12 Hongkongers’ case”, urged Beijing to respect human rights. In addition, he said China should cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure against Taiwan

Follow from previous post about hostage diplomacy — another example of how CCP China imprison citizens from other countries WITHOUT GOOD CAUSES.
Foreign diplomats, including the charge d'affaires of the Canadian embassy in China, were denied entry to the “transparent” trial; which was a BREACH OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Both US and Canada are “deeply concerned” and say it’s “unacceptable”.

Dear New Zealanders, #CCP’s justice system does the opposite of justice. 12 #HongKongers were abducted and detained for almost a year before they were taken to court for a closed trial. Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were held for 2 years as pawns for #hostagediplomacy. Protect yourselves, don’t let your people be subjected to that kind of danger and your country a loophole for ccp to manipulate!
