Individuals Detained in Mainland China for Supporting Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Protests

Updated November 18, 2014
A number of Chinese citizens have faced reprisals for supporting the Hong Kong protests for universal suffrage, which began in September 2014. The occupation of several areas in the territory, including parts of its financial and political center, has inspired many Chinese on the mainland to even speak up for democracy in China. Many mainlanders have expressed their support by travelling to Hong Kong to join the protests, or meeting in small gatherings and posting messages on social media, including photos of themselves’ holding signs in support of the protests and demanding constitutional democracy for the territory. Chinese police began detaining these individuals in early October.
To date, CHRD has documented 102 cases of detention in total, including 10 formal arrests, 31 criminal detentions (18 remain in custody) and 4 administrative detentions, along with 37 individuals still held in some form of police custody. Among these, 38 have been released. Police have harassed and intimidated countless others by visiting their homes and issuing warnings, or putting them under house arrest. Several have gone into hiding. Individuals are known to have been seized in the municipalities of Beijing, Chongqing, and Shanghai, and the provinces of Anhui, Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi. The majority of the cases are from Beijing.
Violations of Chinese laws
The manner in which nearly half of the 75 individuals who have been detained violates China’s Criminal Procedural Law (CPL), particularly in terms of providing information of detention place and legal status of detention. The CPL stipulates that police must present a detention warrant when taking an individual into custody and also notify the family within 24 hours, unless they are suspected of certain crimes that fall under the category of “endangering state security” or terrorism, or they are incapable of informing the family (Article 83). The majority of the detainees below have been been charged with “creating a disturbance,” a less serious crime than those related to state security, and which is now frequently used to punish outspoken rights advocates. Many of the families of these detainees’ have not received a notice from police, and instead activists have gone to detention centers and confirmed the vast majority of these cases. Police have also threatened many of the families in Beijing after they inquired about their loved ones or tried to hire lawyers.
What should actually happen when a person is detained—as opposed to what often occurs during crackdowns or other politically motivated detentions in China? According to the CPL, police have 24 hours to interrogate a person in custody. If no evidence of criminal activity is found, the individual must be released (Article 84). Eleven individuals on this list were held for under 24 hours and then released. If an individual is not released, police must place them either under criminal detention—charged with a criminal offenses as stipulated in China’s Criminal Law—or administrative detention, charged under the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. A suspect who has been criminally detained can be held for up to a maximum 37 days before they must be either released or formally arrested (Article 89). Administrative detentions can last for up to 15 days, though many individuals under this form of detention in recent crackdowns were held for longer. In this crackdown so far, like in previous ones, police have placed various obstacles to block lawyers from visiting their clients (violating Chapter 4 on Defense and Representation of the CPL, among other laws). Ifrecent cases in 2014 are any guide, police may even detain the lawyers themselves for demanding that their clients receive legal protections and the right to counsel.
CHRD urges the Chinese government to respect its own laws and international human rights standards, and immediately release the detained individuals, who have not committed any crime by exercising their rights to freedom of expression and assembly.
