After cooperating with the New York Christian Justice Alliance to hold a street education photos exhibition for more than a year, the New York NGO organization ” Women’s Rights in China”(WRIC) independently established a new round of long-term street activity projects to be launched in May 2024, namely in the Chinese community in New York. Dozens of pictures and text display boards – “Records of the CCP’s Massacre of Civilians Atrocities Over the Years” — are displayed in the downtown area of ​​Flushing NY, as well as display boards supported women in prison who were politically persecuted.

Since April 24, the New York-based NGO Women’s Rights in China (WRIC) has independently set up a long-term street activity project, namely, in the downtown area of ​​Flushing, where there is a Chinese community in New York, it exhibited dozens of pictures and texts titled “Record of The CCP’s Atrocities of Massacring Civilians Throughout the Years” and supported women in prison who were politically persecuted.

 

The pictorial exhibition “Record of The CCP’s Atrocities” is set up in sidewalk of the Main Street Flushing Library building. It consists of 21 display boards, each 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The exhibition starts with the “Land Reform Movement” in 1949 after the establishment of the CCP and includes 21 major political movements up until the suppression of the 2019 Hong Kong “Anti-Extradition Law Amendment” protests. Each board lists the name, time, location, number of victims, and death toll of each political movement, accompanied by historical photos that vividly illustrate the CCP’s brutal persecution of the Chinese people over the years. Additionally, there are 15 boards featuring female rights activists and political dissenters who are either still in prison or recently released. Examples include He Fangmei and her husband, who were imprisoned for seeking justice for their daughter disabled by a toxic vaccine in 2018, and whose three children were long-term confined in a psychiatric hospital (details at: https://wrchina.https://crchina.live-website.com/wric-protests-detention-and-disappearance-of-he- fangmeis-daughterso); former chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, Chow Hang-tung, who was charged with multiple crimes against national security in 2019 (details at: https://crchina.live-website.com/international-womens-day-salute-to-hk-female-political-prisoners/ ); and Chinese women’s rights defender Huang Xueqin (details at: https://crchina.live-website.com/who-is-huang-xueqin/https://wrchina.org/archives/16878).

Today is June 1, International Children’s Day. Children are immersed in their own festival, but in Henan Province, China, two young girls have been imprisoned in the “Xinxiang Freemason Psychiatric Hospital” for 3 and 4 years respectively. Since April 2024, these two girls, aged 7 and 3, have been missing. This is the current tragic experience of the two young daughters of the human rights defender and founder of “Vaccine Baby Home” He Fangmei.

In 2018, He Fangmei’s daughter was paralyzed due to a neurological disease after being vaccinated. He Fangmei established the “Vaccine Baby Home” to defend her rights and demand accountability and compensation. In October 2020, He Fangmei took her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter to protest in front of the Huixian County Government in Henan Province, but all three were sent to a mental hospital for detention. Her husband Li Xin, who helped his wife defend her rights, was also arrested and sentenced to 5 years in prison in the same month. At this time, He Fangmei was 5 months pregnant. In February 2021, He Fangmei gave birth to her third child in the Xinxiang Masonic Mental Hospital in Henan Province.

Since the summer of 2023, the elder sister, who was entrusted by her younger sister He Fangmei to visit and had custody, has not seen the sisters again. In April 2024, the family learned that the girls were taken to the mayor’s office, but were not taken back to the mental hospital. Prior to this, there was information that a 7-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted. WRIC have reason to suspect that after this case of imprisonment continued for many years, the relatives could not see them, and then the girls disappeared. This case shared many logical connections with the previous cases of sexual assaults. We suspect that this is no longer a single case of imprisonment, but a serious criminal case of dereliction of duty and rape of young girls!

 

He Fangmei and her husband have been defending the rights of their daughter who was harmed by vaccines since 2018.

 

 

At present, in China, places of detention without trial have expanded from traditional detention centers and detention houses to mental hospitals or clinics, education camps, etc. at all levels, and they are extremely large-scale. He Fangmei and her three young children were “protected” by the government in a mental hospital for a long time. This is a typical case of China’s kidnapping and intimidation of human rights defenders and dissidents. I believe this is not the first case, nor will it be the last case.

 

Chinese authorities arbitrarily detained He Fangmei’s children as a means of collective punishment of her family. Collective punishment and arbitrary detention, in terms of international human rights law, are the illegal use of children as a weapon to punish human rights defenders and violate basic standards of morality and human rights. China has long signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The Chinese government has the obligation and responsibility to respect and protect the three young children and their mother He Fangmei and should humanely home her three children (including a disabled girl), subsidize their living and education expenses, and let them be loved and have a dignified life with relatives and friends.

 

A country’s attitude towards women and children is related to the progress of civilization in its society. Respecting women and protecting the rights of children are the top priorities for safeguarding people’s livelihood and are the foundation for the development and prosperity of the country and nation and the maintenance of family happiness. WRIC protests the Chinese government’s use of children as weapons to attack human rights defenders! Condemn the Chinese authorities for kidnapping children by government means! Condemn the government for arbitrary detention and abuse of children and their mothers. We urge the Chinese government to abide by the “International Law” and release human rights defenders He Fangmei and her two daughters, so that the 11-year-old brother and two little sisters can reunite with their parents.

 

WRIC will continue to pay attention to He Fangmei’s family, especially the two young girls who disappeared after being detained in a mental hospital. We will continue to speak out for China’s vulnerable groups!
