Recently, a woman held a banner to report that she had been subjected to long-term sexual harassment by the deputy director of the Fushun City Supervisory Bureau in Liaoning, affecting her life severely. On November 26, the topic “Woman reports sexual harassment by deputy director of city supervisory bureau” trended on Weibo.
According to reports from Daway News, a photo of a woman holding a bullhorn in her right hand and a banner in her left hand to report the harassment has sparked widespread attention on social media in recent days. The watermark on the photo indicates that it was taken on 8:21 AM on November 20. The banner reads, “Deputy Director Mi of the Fushun City Market Supervision Administration, as a state civil servant, has been harassing me sexually for a long time, causing serious impacts on my family, life, and mental well-being. I earnestly request the relevant leaders of the Market Supervision Administration to handle this matter seriously.”
On November 26, the media learned from the Fushun City Market Supervision Administration that Mi is a member of the enforcement team, not a senior leader of the bureau.
A reporter from Daway News found from the official website of the Fushun City Market Supervision Administration that Mi’s name was not listed among the leaders of the bureau. However, Mi’s name was found in the list of administrative enforcement personnel in the bureau as a member of the enforcement team. The reporter tried to contact Mi through the office phone but received no response.
Reportedly, the publicity department staff of the Fushun City Market Supervision Administration stated that Mi is currently working normally. Regarding the woman’s banner report, the municipal discipline inspection commission has intervened, and the investigation is ongoing. Any relevant investigative conclusions will be promptly disclosed to the public.
Furthermore, the above-mentioned staff also disclosed that the bureau was formed by the merger of multiple departments in 2019, and they do not have detailed information about Mi’s tenure and family situation. However, in recent days, the woman who made the banner report has not been seen during commuting hours.
This incident has garnered attention on Weibo trends.
Netizens commented: “I wonder if this whistleblower has exhausted other reporting channels? Or did she report it but no one took action?” “The victim holding the banner indicates that she had previously reported to the relevant departments without results, leading her to take drastic actions.” “Whenever an incident occurs in the supervisory department, the office becomes deserted. Even if someone answers, they might not know what’s going on and might immediately hang up.” “Why are Liaoning’s news always disclosed by media from other places (such as Daway, Xinhua, Xiaoxiang)? What is the local media doing?”
Thank you for your attention.
