Recently, Shanghai petitioner Wu Huiqun was robbed of her complaint registration form by a group of unidentified black-clothed individuals at the Shanghai Prosecution Service Office’s petition office. This experience left her puzzled – why are there mysterious black-clothed individuals obstructing petitioners from filing complaints at both the procuratorate and petition offices?
Wu Huiqun, a citizen of Huangpu District in Shanghai, was originally an employee at the New World Group’s Shanghai Sheng Xifu Hat Store. After discovering significant losses in the group’s assets, she sued the Huangpu District government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in court, only to face retaliatory actions.
On March 5th, around 3 p.m., Wu Huiqun went to the Shanghai Prosecution Service Office’s petition office to lodge her complaints. While she was filling out the complaint registration form during security check, a black-clothed individual without an employee number suddenly insisted that her bag be placed in the storage area. Since her bag contained materials related to her complaint, she did not agree.
“A group of black-clothed individuals with rude attitudes then arrived. When I asked for their employee numbers, no one responded. I said I would take photos to complain about them, and they tried to snatch my phone. I ran to the door to call 110 for help. When the police arrived, I returned to the petition office and found my bag discarded on a box. I took out a stack of judgments and materials from my backpack to show to the police officer and informed him of what had happened. Afterwards, I asked the black-clothed individuals for the complaint registration form, but they forced me to leave!”
Eventually, the police took her materials to the Hongmei Police Station.
Around 5 p.m. that day, Wu Huiqun went to the headquarters of the prosecution office to complain about the misconduct of its subordinate departments. “I requested to see the person in charge at the entrance. A bespectacled woman received me and said everything was arranged, asking me to come to the petition office at 9:30 a.m. the next morning. After I walked away for a while, a black-clothed individual rushed to tell me that the meeting time had been changed to 1:30 p.m. the next day.”
At 11:44 a.m. on March 6th, Wu Huiqun received a call from the police station inquiring about her two bags and belongings at the station, asking when she would pick them up. She requested the police to deliver the bags and belongings to the Prosecution Service Office.
At 1:30 p.m. on March 6th, Wu Huiqun arrived at the Shanghai Prosecution Service Office as agreed. While she waited for the police at the entrance, black-clothed individuals closed the door of the petition office, preventing her from entering. After the police delivered the materials, she hurried to find the bespectacled woman who received her the night before. A man came out at 2:44 p.m., to whom Wu Huiqun explained the situation and demanded to speak to the person in charge to address all the incidents that occurred in the past two days. However, she waited on the sidewalk for half an hour without anyone coming out to assist her. She then called 110 for help.
She explained everything that happened to the police and pointed out the presence of unnumbered black-clothed individuals at the gate of the Prosecution Service Office, who quickly disappeared.
Wu Huiqun said, “I have been reporting violations for nearly twenty-eight years. In 2007, the then Vice Mayor of Shanghai, Feng Guole, as well as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Jiang Ping and other municipal government officials, along with legal experts, conducted research on the issue of state-owned asset losses at the Huangpu District government. I was chosen to participate in their research activities at the district government office. I mentioned the adverse consequences of the so-called restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and Mayor Feng Guole praised me for my legal knowledge. In the final segment, I mentioned that after going through the Chinese judiciary and petition channels and applying for judicial assistance from the United Nations, the entire room fell silent.”
Subsequently, due to reporting, Wu Huiqun lost her job and had no social security or medical insurance. She said, “I have been subject to a series of retaliatory measures by the district government for nearly 28 years. Due to the collusion of public security, procuratorate, and judicial departments in dereliction of duty and violations, I have been persecuted by local government departments and illegally detained on multiple occasions. In these nearly 28 years, I have had no minimum job security benefits, no medical insurance. I am almost 59 years old, yet I have been unable to enjoy retirement for nearly 9 years.”
She added, “The facts prove that the Chinese Communist Party’s judicial system is too corrupt, coupled with incompetent governance, hence the need to squander a large number of black security personnel with taxpayers’ hard-earned money. These individuals serve a group of authorities and act as scapegoats, artificially creating wrongful cases. It is a tragedy for the Chinese land!”
In 2024, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate of the Chinese Communist Party established the “Wrongful Cases Unit.” Wu Huiqun’s trip was to submit all her unjust verdicts and evidence to this department. She said, “However, the events of the past two days have left us helpless. It is difficult to file complaints through normal channels. The executive and law enforcement departments have become rotten, and falsification has become the norm. Mass perjury has become commonplace!”
