【禁聞】湖北維權代表被抓 疑警方勾結勢力

【新唐人2012年2月3日訊】湖北省恩施市65歲的維權代表胡體和，1號下午被警方以「討論煽動顛覆國家事宜」為由帶走。在一千多名村民的聲援下，三個小時後獲釋。人權組織懷疑警方勾結勢力人士，向維權村民施壓。

2月1號下午三點多鐘，湖北省恩施州警局多名警察，帶了一個彩色紙片到胡體和家中，指控胡體和和維權人士黃琦通過QQ，討論煽動顛覆國家事宜，警方帶走胡體和。據《六四天網》「中國天網人權事務中心」負責人黃琦說，胡體和從不與他在QQ上聊天，那些證據是官方構陷。

黃琦表示，胡體和已經65歲，他從不使用QQ，這樣的指控非常搞笑。當局為了構陷胡體和，採取了一系列卑劣的手法。而胡體和的兒子也證實父親根本不會用QQ跟別人談話。

黃琦指出，警方之所以帶走胡體和，是因爲胡在當地經常帶領農民進行維權活動，取得了不少成果。而這些活動也揭露了官方的醜態。

黃琦分析，最近因為省政府有意把黃泥塘村八千多名村民遷回原居地，相關政策可能威脅到當地勢力人士的既得利益。一旦村民遷回原居地，年盈利達32億人民幣的旅遊開發項目將徹底崩潰，當地的旅遊公司也要面臨倒閉。

黃琦認為，移民代表「胡體和被抓事件」應該是警方按當地勢力人士指示，向他做出恐嚇，以免他對村民回遷的問題，再向省政府部門進行維權。

胡體和被抓時他的女婿也在場，他說，胡體和的土地被強行佔用，又沒有相應的補償金。本來12多萬一畝的土地，變成6千多元。所以他希望通過求助外界力量，解決這一個問題。

胡體和告訴《新唐人》，警方恐嚇他，不要他再為村民土地維權。

胡體和：「昨天抓我們到恩施市市公安局，那個鄭局長和毛局長用威脅、恐嚇的手段，錄影，要我們喋諜（方言：快快）的交出記者，快交出，你說怎麼辦，嚴刑逼供吧。」

《自由亞洲電臺》報導，十年前恩施市芭蕉鄉黃泥塘村8000村民原居住地，被私人發展商用作旅遊開發，全村被遷移到一處較偏僻的地方後，村民年平均收入只有1500元，生活困苦。胡體和因此經常到政府部門走訪，要求當局正視村民生活問題。而被視為搞事份子。

65-years-old Rights Defender Captured

Hu Ti-he, a 65-years-old rights-defense representative

from in Enshi, Hubei province, was captured by local police.

Hu was accused of discussing

and inciting subversion of state power.

Hu was released three hours later,

thanks to the open support of over 1,000 villagers.

Human rights group suspect collusion between local police

and local power to pressure villagers for their rights defense.

On the afternoon of February 1, the police of Enshi

Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei, took away Hu Tihe.

Hu and rights activist Huang Qi were accused of discussing

subverting of state power' matters via instant messaging QQ.

Huang Qi, chief of China Tianwang Human Rights Service,

said that the officials' alleges and evidences are fabricated.

According to Huang, Hu Tihe never chats with him via QQ.

Huang said that Hu Tihe is 65 years old, and have never

used QQ, thus the officials' allegations are ridiculous.

Authorities have undertaken a series of despicable tactics,

just to frame up Hu Tihe.

Hu's son confirmed his father never talked

with anyone via QQ.

According to Huang Qi, the reason why the police

captured Hu is due to his defense of human rights locally.

Hu often led local farmers to initiate rights-defense activities,

achieving some positive results.

However, these events exposed scandals

of the Chinese Communist Party' (CCP) local authorities.

Huang Qi revealed, the CCP Hubei provincial authorities

planned to move 8,000 villagers back to their original places.

The relevant policy may threaten local power's interests.

The villagers' moving back will end a project of local tourism

development, with expected annual profit of RMB 3.2 billion.

And local tour companies will also face closure.

Local police might follow local power's instructions to capture

Hu Ti-he, said Huang, a representative of local immigrants.

The capture is a warning for Hu to not initiate new rights

defense activities on the villagers' moving-back issue.

Hu's son-in-law witnessed the capture of Hu. He said local

authorities took Hu's land without proper compensation.

The land is worth RMB 120,000 per acre,

but he was compensated only with RMB 6,000 per acre.

So Hu wants to seek society's help to solve the problem.

Hu reveals that the police threatened him not to defend

local villagers for their land rights.

Hu Ti-he: "We were caught and taken to Public Security

Bureau of Enshi City yesterday.

Two chiefs threatened us to hand over the reporter

right away. It was just extorting confessions by torture.”

According to Radio Free Asia reports, 10 years ago, tourism

developer occupied the original home of 8,000 villagers.

The village was moved to a remote area, living in poverty.

The villagers' average annual income is RMB 1,500 (~$240).

Hu Ti-he often petitioned to CCP local authorities, appealing

to them for attention to the villagers' life problems.

Thus Hu is being deemed as a trouble-maker

by the local CCP authorities.
