let's turn back to officer's sex scandal, the xishui case was took place on old hostel of Bureau of Justice. About the Xishui child rape scandal. The director of the Baihua branch of Yibin county tax bureau, Lu Yumin 卢玉敏 has been punished for his involvement in the Xishui child rape case. In December 2008, Liu paid 6.000 yuan to have sex with He **, a thirteeen years old student coerced into prostitution. Yesterday, Lu has received the discipline sanctions of expulsion from his office (开除公职) and from the party (开除党籍). The deputy party secretary and the political commissar 政委 of Yibin public security office held that Lu's conduct did not constitute a crime, so they have levied a 6.000 yuan fine on him and sentenced him to 15 days administrative detention (行政拘留). Allegedly Lu's behaviour did not reach the seriousness treshold of art. 360(2) of the Criminal Law. Article 360. Prostitution, visiting prostitutes. Those engaging in prostitution or visiting a whorehouse knowing that they are suffering from syphilis, clap, or other serious venereal diseases are to be sentenced to five years or fewer in prison or put under criminal detention or surveillance, in addition to having to pay a fine. Those who visit young girl prostitutes under 14 years of age are to be sentenced to five years or more in prison an addition to paying a fine. Lu stated he didn't know that He ** was thirteen, so according to the police he did not commit an offence, and could get away with a fine and a couple of weeks in the slammer. The treatment of Lu points to a worrying trend whereby the defendants in the Xishui child rape case might go unpunished, or receive too lenient punishments - as in the case of Lu. As I have explained elsewhere, Lu (as well as the other defendants) should have been charged with rape. In this case, article 360 cannot be used. Because if the girl is lured or forced into prostitution -as the girls in Xishui were - article 236 (rape) is to be used instead: Article 236. Whoever, by violence, coercion or other means, rapes a woman is to be sentenced to not less than three years and not more than 10 years of fixedterm imprisonment. Whoever has sexual relations with a girl under the age of 14 is to be deemed to have committed rape and is to be given a heavier punishment. Whoever rapes a woman or has sexual relations with a girl involving one of the following circumstances is to be sentenced to not less than 10 years of fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or death: (1) rape a woman or have sexual relations with a girl and when the circumstances are odious; (2) rape several women or have sexual relations with several girls; (3) rape a woman in a public place and in the public; (4) rape a woman in turn with another or more persons; (5) cause the victim serious injury, death, or other serious consequences. An important condition to use this article is that Lu and the others knew that the girls were under 14. In theory, they can claim they didn't know that the girls were under 14. In practice things are different. Journalists have proved how in Xishui advertising teen prostitution was quite common, and ads as this one could be found everywhere: “学生商务中心是当地多所中、高校学生自由组合，为您提供多种服务，她们清 纯可爱、活泼开朗。以学生为主，另外还收编了部分风情美少妇；她们韵味十足，还可提供处女开苞。特别提供24小时上酒店宾馆服务。联系人周先生，联系电 话：159851×××××。 Lu and the others were looking for very young girls, rather than older women. They should have known that if they visited very young sex workers the chances were quite high that one or more of them was under 14. They should have known that having intercourse with them constitutes the crime of rape. Did they take every reasonable precaution to avoid this? The 2009 Xishui sex trial (Chinese: 贵州习水嫖宿幼女案) is a court case in Xishui County, Guizhou, China involving the rape of under-aged girls by 7 people, 4 of which are government officials from the Communist Party of China.[1] The officials were sentenced in a County court and aroused anger on the Chinese blogosphere and drew popular protests. Event Between October 2007 to July 2008 a number of underaged teenage girls were raped in Xishui, Guizhou.[1] An unemployed 37-year old women named Yuan Li offered her own apartment as a hospitality venue for about 100 yuan or 30% of the income.[2] The remaining profit went to a 14-year old and 15-year old teenager who helped abduct schoolgirls from one primary school and three junior high schools.[1] Comments from internet chat rooms said underaged girls were forced to have sex with government officials. The mother of an abused girl eventually reported the case to local police bureau on August 15, 2008.[3][4] Police subsequently began investigating the case.[1][2] An 8-member team went undercover in the county for 10 days.[3] By the end of October, 7 people were arrested on charges of organizing and forcing 11 girls into prostitution. Three of the girls were under the age of 14.[3] [edit] Trial The close-door trial started at the People's Court of Xishui County on April 8, 2009.[1] The following people were identified "customers" of the prostitution ring. Name ↓ Description ↓ Li Shoumin county migration official Chen Mengran land and resource official Huang Yongliang social security official Chen Cun legal affairs official Mu Mingzhong legislator Feng Zhiyang vocational school teacher Feng Yong taxi driver The 16-hour trial ended without a verdict. There are two interpretations of the law. According to clause 236, having sex with a girl under the age of 14 should be treated as a rape and punished severely.[3] According to clause 360, visiting a prostitute who is under the age of 14 should carry a jail sentence of five years or more. The rape offence can result in a death penalty while the second offence carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.[3] The government officials received the lesser offense.[3] More than 1,000 people gathered outside the court and showed anger.[3] The case has provoked nationwide anger at the shame of the officials and the way the trial was handled.[3] AND ALSO 2008 Weng'an riot The 2008 Weng'an riot was a riot on June 28, 2008 involving tens of thousands of residents in Weng'an County, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, in the Guizhou province of Southwest China. Rioters smashed government buildings and torched several police cars to protest against an alleged police cover-up of a girl's death. Incident [edit] Alleged rape and murder A 16 year-old local girl by the name of Li Shufen (李树芬, born in July 1991[1]) was found dead in a river. She had been earlier being spotted with two younger men who likely had familial ties with the local public security bureau.[2] Li Shufen's family and friends have said that she was raped and murdered by the son of a prominent Weng'an official and another youth and that her corpse was then thrown into the river.[3][4] The subsequent government controlled media release denied the claims, and states the two young men and one young woman involved are of local farmers' families.[5] [edit] Defending the coffin The parents were guarding the girl's coffin day and night in fear the local police might attempt to tamper with the evidence. "We won't accept an evil deal," say parents. The parents reported there have already been two attempts to steal the dead body. An additional 100 local residents have helped them guard the coffin. [edit] Claims [edit] Police The girl's dead body was pulled from the river on June 22, 2008. Initial police report said that the girl was drowned or jumped into the river and committed suicide.[6] A document submitted by the local government stated the girl was unhappy with life because her parents favored her elder brother.[7] [edit] Girl's family and relatives Relatives of the girl blamed the local police for shoddy investigation and possible corruption.[2] One of the parents said a police officer threatened them, telling them: “Don't even try to file a lawsuit; there [is] no justice in this world.”[6] [edit] Three murder suspects Guizhou's official media published the first interview with three of the girl's friends (the murder suspects) on July 4, 2008. They were the last people to see the girl alive.[8][9] * Chen Guangquan (陈光权), 21 years old, was the victim's boyfriend. He denied any raping.[10] * Liu Yanchao (刘言超), 18 years old, said he did pushups on the bridge, then struggled after trying to save the girl. * Wang Jiao (王娇), 16 years old, she was also at the scene. [edit] Protests About 500 middle school students had gone to protest at the public security bureau, but they were turned away and beaten.[2] The girl's uncle, a local teacher, was beaten when he questioned the police. Rumors have been circulating that the uncle died from his injuries at the local hospital but this was not confirmed. This roused an angry mob of thousands of people, who began overturning cars and setting fire to government buildings, including the local Communist party headquarters.[6] The Associated Press reported "30,000 angry citizens swarmed the streets". The riot lasted 7 hours with 150 people injured. About 160 office buildings and 40 cars were torched.[11] [edit] Role of Chinese bloggers * Zhou Shuguang, a self-claimed citizen journalist also known as "Zola" in the Chinese blogosphere, went to Weng'an to conduct a personal interview with Li Shufen's family, using all the Internet communication tools like MSN, QQ, and Twitter, plus his own cell phone, posting to his personal web page unofficial reports along with photos and pleas from the family of the Li Shufen. It was believed that this was the first time Twitter had ever been used to report a mass Chinese protest. Zhou, as well as many other like-minded Chinese netizens, provide on-the-scene information on events like this, is a means to give voice to ordinary Chinese whose stories get overlooked in a country where all the media is under the control of China's Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.[12] * Tianya.cn, a social networking website (owned by Hainan Tianya Online Networking Technology Co.) that offers various chat rooms for bloggers to discuss social issues, played a indispensable role in the supporting of the students' actions during the riot. As reported by Jonathan Ansfield on blog.newsweek.com/July 2, 2008: All night and morning, I was clicking on posts about it. First it was there. Then it was gone. Then it was there again. Then gone. Every few minutes it was being deleted, sometimes every few seconds. The site had orders to block it. That was obvious. But they couldn't keep up. Every time they did, we Netizens got angrier and angrier.” Roland Soong of ESWN(East South West North, a well known website that does a massive amount of Chinese-to-English translation, wrote: "For example, the first item says that oveseas media are paying a great deal of attention to the lives of people living in the plateau of the Yunnan-Guizhou area. The second item says that the people of X'an (Guizhou) are lighting an extra large sacred flame to celebrate the Beijing Olympics. The third item just says, "Delete this!! Your mother's c*nt!" The fourth item says that "when the army arrives in southwestern China, I think something big will happen! I believe that our troops(人民子弟兵) have conscience." The fifth item says that the anti-American(反美) posts from the anti-American warriors(反美鬥士) have all met death -- the revolution has not yet succeeded and our comrades need to keep working(革命尚未成功,同志尚須努力, a famous quotation from Sun Yat-sen). What was that last one? The term "American" is being used for "Chinese government"!" * Xinhua, the official central government news agency, played an unusual role in this incident, simply by keep open a chat room for bloggers to voice their anger towards the local bunkering and incompetent officials. By June 29, there had been more than 200,000 hits on the 2,000 remarks left in the chatroom of the only uncensored official Xinhua website, mostly in strong condemnation of the way the police mishandled the girl’s death and the popular protest.[13] * At several other popular forums or chat sites, including Kdnet (猫眼看人), Maopu (猫撲), Strong Nation (强國), Sina.com, Netese (网易), and QQ, most of the users voiced their support for the Weng'an rioters, and they all supply their own versions of information (including text, photos, and sometimes video files), different, or sometimes opposite to the versions supplied by the Guizhou police.[14][15] [edit] Arrests Authorities have rounded up 300 people accused of taking part in the riot. Other sources have said 200 rioters were arrested. Over 1,500 paramilitary and riot police were dispatched to the county. Police detained 59 people for their alleged roles. [edit] Government response Photographs as well as comments on the Guizhou protest in chatrooms and forums were quickly deleted by the mainland Internet censors. The government launched a campaign to defuse protest ahead of the Beijing Olympics to continue carrying out social harmony and stability. An "Olympics Stability Drive" was announced after the incident. Public security officials in Guizhou offered a total of 9,000 yuan (about $1,300 or £700 or €800) to the parents of the teenage girl, with 3,000 paid by each suspect. The father said “We will never accept an evil deal like this, we need to seek justice for our daughter.”[6] Guizhou's Communist Party chief, Shi Zongyuan (石宗源), estimated that prior use of force by local officials have contributed to the widespread discontentment.[16] He further said the deep rooted reasons behind the protest were "rude and roughhand solutions" by local authorities to solve disputes over mines, demolition of homes for public projects, relocation of residents for reservoir construction, and many other issues.[17] Several local officials, including Weng'an's Party chief, have been dismissed for breach of duty on July 3 and 4, 2008.[16] [edit] Investigation The government-controlled Guizhou Daily newspaper claimed the family was too emotionally unstable to accept the findings. The Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said three men were questioned, but were let go. Xinhua News Agency reported on July 1, 2008 that the investigation would be reopened. The provincial government sent 10 criminal investigators and forensic experts to re-investigate the death.[6] The autopsy was carried out by five experts from the Guizhou public security department and the Higher People's Court. After three autopsies, there were no signs of any sexual attack according to state officials.[7] The girl's father, Li Xiuzhong, did not accept the autopsy findings. He said "There is nothing I can do, they have sent 10 officials to my home, watching me day and night. They told me what to say when the reporters interviewed me. They threatened me that [if I said anything wrong], then another riot can happen and I must bear in mind that national security is at stake. Li Shufen was buried in her hometown about 20 km from Weng'an.[7] Provincial authority said that every year, about 600 to 800 criminal cases take place in the county, but half of them are not solved.[10]
