From the land of the requisition to the third prison: Chongqing Visiting Zhonghuong Zhuong Ju was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison

After being sentenced to four years and six months in prison, Hu Chongqing Liang Zhong Qian Liang Zhong Zheng Zheng Zheng Zhengxi was transferred to serve his sentence at the Chongqing City Thong Tung Prison. The Network published its update on 2 October; The sentence and transfer were previously disclosed by Humans Watch on 1 October. According to public information, the resident, who has been dealing with local governments for a long time on land expropriation, compensation and access, has been criminally punished for three times since 2017 for his activities in defence of rights.

The key to the Qinghui case is not just a “silent” judgement, but a chain of conflict that has lasted for more than a decade: family contract disputes trigger complaints, which are turned into visits, and the process of which is constantly subject to administrative or criminal coercive measures, while the previous punishments have been the background for later governance and control. The latest four years and six months of imprisonment extended the chain again until March 2029.

Long-term visits starting with the land dispute

According to the Human Rights Defence Network and Human Life Watch, Tung Fu is a street resident of the city of Huongqing, Bong Dynasty County. She claims that family contractors have been occupied since 2013 in the event of a dispute over the compensation procedure and have continued to file complaints with the authorities since then. In 2017, she was sentenced to one year and two months for “silent crimes” for, inter alia, placing banners on the land in dispute.

In 2020, Zhong Zhong Zhui was arrested again and sentenced to two years and six months for “organizing illegal assembly”. (b) Human Life Watch also documented that, within one month of July 2023, the PSB of PSB had made three administrative detention decisions against her; In June 2024, she was held in administrative detention for 10 days for her visit to Kyoto. These materials together show that the treatment of Tung Gui by local public security organs is not a one-off event but a long-term event that has accompanied their visit.

Detention during hospitalization, cases are controversial about “hard relief”

An accident occurred in December 2023 in Zhong Qiu Yi Qi. According to Humans Watch, she had a broken thorax and had an intervertebral plate problem, which was followed by long-term treatment. (b) On 9 September 2024, the PSB of PSBQ in Fong Qiangji, took criminal measures of detention against the Thong Gui, who is still in treatment; On 17 October of the same year, she was formally arrested.

The most controversial fact of this case is how the life-threatening relief provided to Zhong Guoji in the streets of Chuanzhou entered the criminal case. According to DEFRO, the authorities considered the money to be the relevant facts of the “compelling order” of Zhongjuchu, who himself refused to confess guilt. Since the full text of the judgement has not yet been retrieved through the public channels, the exact amount, the court ' s determination of each evidence and the defence opinion cannot be supplemented by the statements of the Defender of Rights alone.

According to Human Rights Watch, the prosecution service had recommended a four-year prison sentence, which was eventually sentenced by the Phuong County Court to four years and six months, and had called the presiding judge Oyan. The institution linked the increase in the sentence to the refusal of Zhong Guangji to confess guilt; In the absence of a full text of the decision, this causal link is now disclosed only as a statement of human life and not as a substitute for the court decision itself.

Physical condition in custody and application for bail

The health of the Qinhui has also brought to the fore the coercive measures in the case. In 2025, Human Life Watch reported that she had been in detention for prolonged periods of bedtime and difficult to cope with her injuries and injuries, and that her and her husband had applied for a change in the coercive measures but had not been granted. In October, the latest report stated that she had been transferred from her previous place of detention to the Chongqing City prison where she served her sentence up to 8 March 2029.

For a citizen who has been making an ongoing visit, there is a clear continuity in the use of State coercion on the Qingi, from administrative detention, criminal detention to multiple prison terms. Even if neither party is accepted as a complete account of the land claims dispute, this continuing record raises an inescapable question: whether the mechanism of redress that should have resolved land, compensation and administrative disputes has been replaced by a stable logic when the long-standing complaints of citizens are closed to repeated penalties by local public security, prosecution and courts.

"The Searching for the Path" is the end of the line

The “crime of sedition” has been criticized by Chinese human rights defenders and international human rights bodies for its broad scope of application. This offence was not the first to arise in the experience of Zhong Guoji: it was used in the criminal judgement of 2017, she was again arrested in 2024 on suspicion of having committed a crime of sexual harassment and was eventually sentenced to four years and six months.

The Chinese Government has generally stressed that letters must be sent in accordance with the law and that acts such as disturbing public order and imposing hard-line demands are punishable under the law. However, in the Tsang Guang Yi case, the public material currently available to the outside world is mainly from human rights organizations, and the full text of the court decision and the details of the prosecution ' s charges have not yet been publicly available. This information asymmetry per se reduces the ability of the judiciary to undergo public scrutiny and reinforces the problem of local governments taking over criminal jurisdiction, both as a party to long-standing land and mail disputes and through the public security, prosecution and court systems.

The fact that Zhong Zhonggui has entered the prison means that this local dispute, which lasted for many years, is once again closed with imprisonment, without showing that the original land and compensation dispute was substantively resolved. From the 2013 contract dispute to the first time in 2017, the second time in 2020 and the third time in prison, the timeline shows not an isolated case, but a recurring structure in Chinese grass-roots governance: when administrative relief fails to end the dispute, the persistent complainant itself is gradually being targeted.
