According to various organizations and detainees, Chinese police have already arrested several hundred people in a full scale suppression carried out during the National Congress and Political Consultative Conference session.
At present, large numbers of “appellants” have gathered in Beijing. They view the annual session of China’s National People’s Congress an ideal opportunity to make appeals to the government.
However some appellants as well as human rights organization “Amnesty International” have revealed that several hundred appellants were arrested and detained or sent home.
As for the appellants who managed to remain in Beijing, they would have little chance of getting close to the venue where the congress session is held – The People’s Congress Hall, due to the tight security measures deployed all round the building.
