During the Chinese Communist Party’s Two Sessions in Beijing, Sichuan petitioner Wang Yicui, who was working and seeking medical treatment in Beijing, was abducted on February 26th from her residence in Beijing and taken back to Neijiang, Sichuan Province, where she was accused of “disturbing the order of the unit” and given an administrative detention for eight days.
On February 26th, Wang Yicui went missing at the intersection of Dajian Road and Dadou Road in Fangshan District, Beijing. There was no information about her whereabouts until March 11th when she resurfaced in the public eye. Wang Yicui stated that she was falsely accused and illegally detained for eight days (from March 3rd to March 11th). On the morning of March 11th, she was released from the detention center only to be forcefully taken to the Quan’an Police Station of the Shizhong District Branch of the Neijiang Public Security Bureau in Sichuan Province by officials and police, where she retrieved her confiscated phone.
According to the administrative penalty decision against Wang Yicui, she was punished with an eight-day administrative detention for “disturbing the order of the unit.” Wang Yicui expressed her objection to the penalty, applied for a stay of execution, and requested a hearing, which was rejected by the Shizhong District Branch of the Neijiang Public Security Bureau citing failure to meet conditions.
On March 3rd, Wang Yicui was transferred to the detention center in Neijiang City to serve her sentence.
In November 2016, Wang Yicui applied to participate in grassroots preliminary elections for the District People’s Congress as an independent candidate. She was falsely accused and sentenced to three years for “provoking trouble.” In June 2021, Wang Yicui coincidentally witnessed local officials gambling in a group, recorded a short video, and posted it on a local online forum, leading to another conviction of four years for “provoking trouble.” She was released in June 2025 after completing her sentence despite her deteriorating health condition.
After her release, following months of medical treatment and adapting to the environment, in December 2025, Wang Yicui decided to go to Beijing to work and seek medical care while renting a place in a rural community in Fangshan District. However, her life in Beijing continued to be plagued by incessant harassment and suppression by the authorities.
Around 11 p.m. on December 25, 2025, a group of unidentified individuals forcefully entered Wang Yicui’s residence, threatened and intimidated her, seized her phone, and abducted her to a sedan parked outside. She was physically assaulted, insulted, prevented from contacting the police, and using the restroom.
On December 26, 2025, around 10 p.m., Wang Yicui was abandoned on the side of the road in Fengming Village, Quan’an Town, Neijiang City. Upon retrieving her phone, she discovered that all the evidence, legal documents, materials, contact numbers, and information stored in the memory were deleted.
On December 30, 2025, Wang Yicui and another person, Jiang Chengfen, were kidnapped and physically attacked by several gang members after purchasing groceries from a supermarket in Xinxinbaoyuan Street in Beijing. They were forced into an unlicensed black car, driven around aimlessly, and finally taken to a fire station in Yushuquan, Nanyuan Street, Fengtai District, where they were illegally detained for over ten hours. Later, Jiang Chengfen was transferred elsewhere.
Around 1 a.m. on December 31, 2025, Chen Baochuan, the secretary of Fengming Village in Shizhong District, Neijiang City, appeared at the fire station. Wang Yicui called the police, prompting everyone to flee. The police then took Wang Yicui, who was severely injured, to the hospital.
On February 26, 2026, she was once again abducted in Beijing without reason and falsely accused, leading to her detention. Wang Yicui stated, “Due to intentional harm, I am still in pain all over my body. Even now, my personal freedom is illegally restricted in Neijiang, preventing me from seeking medical treatment and forensic evaluation for my injuries.”
