According to the China Tianwang Center for Human Rights Affairs in Beijing, on March 18, Zheng Dajing, an appellant in Beijing who travelled from Hubei Province, was escorted back to Yunxi County.
In the afternoon, when Zheng Dajing arrived in Hubei, an insider contacted both Zheng’s wife Ms. Cao Xiangzhen and a reporter for British TV Channel 4. That same day, the reporter called Cao Xiangzhen and said that the television station would try their best to help Zheng Dajing.
According to sources, while Zheng was confined to the Beijing Siyuan Hotel by Beijing police on the evening of March 16, he was locked up in the washroom for 24 hours.
Zheng’s seven-year-old daughter, Zheng Linxin, who had previously been illegally detained for 65 days and forced to attend a legal training class, now lives with her mother and brother in a damp basement of the Beijing Petitioners’ Village. On March 2, Zheng Linxin and other appellants’ shanties were destroyed by the Beijing authorities three days after the photos of their detention places were published on 64Tianwang.com.
