Beijing, 29 may.- Until 50 people are missing, detained or have been interrogated by the police as a result of the repression campaign launched by the Chinese Government prior to the 25 Tiananmen massacre anniversary, which is commemorated next 4 June.

The most recent have been recorded in the city of Zhengzhou, capital of central Henan province, where at least four people were arrested on 26 de mayo por "alteración del orden público" after attending a tribute to communist leader Hu Yaobang, whose death in 1989 It was the beginning of the Tiananmen protests.
Disappearances are also common in this period prior to the anniversary, and most of them have ended in arrests. El caso más reciente es el de una de las traductoras y asistentes chinas que trabajaba para el periódico japonés "Nikkei", Xin Jiang, in the central city china de Chongqing.
Las autoridades han arrestado formalmente a Xin bajo la acusación de "alteración del orden público" after having been detained and held incommunicado for more than two weeks.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club in China (FCCC) mostró hoy su "profunda" concern over Xin's detention, de quien las autoridades "no han encontrado evidencias" to maintain that he did something other than his job.
Apparently, he arrest of the Chinese translator could be related to an interview she conducted with lawyer Pu Zhiqiang, which, according to the FCCC, eleva la posibilidad de que "está siendo castigada" for carrying out your professional routine on behalf of your employer.
"Eso sería una seria violación de las normas del Gobierno chino sobre los corresponsales extranjeros, que expresamente les permiten entrevistar a cualquiera que acepte", pointed out from the FCCC, and urged authorities to present evidence to prove that Xin broke the law, or release her immediately.
She further , CHRD también denuncia que los detenidos sufren "agresiones físicas e intimidaciones verbales", and that the authorities have denied them medical attention or meeting with their lawyers.
To Amnesty International, la campaña de represión del Gobierno chino "evidencia las mentiras de la reforma del presidente Xi Jinping".
"El 25 Tiananmen anniversary was critical test for Xi's claims of bringing greater openness. Pero ha optado por la represión en lugar de por la reforma", said the general secretary of AI, Salil Shetty, from Hong Kong, where you will attend the vigil that will be held on 4 June in honor of the victims of the massacre.
