December 4 has been named the “Legal Day” by the Chinese communist regime, but over one thousand appellants who had gathered by the Chinese Central TV (CCTV) station to take part in the station’s legal consultation program were detained by the regime authorities.
The appealants, some of whom had come from far away, were looking forward to being interviewed by CCTV reporters so they could share their grievances.
According to an appellant on site, about 50 to 60 police vehicles and a large number of uniformed and plain-clothed police officers surrounded the CCTV building and detained the appellants and sent them to the Majialuo Appellant Escort Center in the remote suburbs of Beijing.
