In the last half of June 2022 practitioners were harassed by people claiming they were from a special group from the Sichuan Province Political and Legal Affairs Committee.

Multiple practitioners were harassed or their homes were ransacked in August and September.
8. [Xinbin County, Liaoning Province] Mr. Wang Xiaoming’s Complaint Denied
Mr. Wang Xiaoming was wrongfully terminated from his office position by the Xinbin County Police Department in 2021. He filed complaints to the related government institutions. But they evaded their responsibilities. His complaint was never resolved.
In March 2022 he submitted a request for information disclosure to the Xinbin County government, asking staff to follow the normal procedure. The county government denied his request on March 29, citing “administrative organ internal affairs”. He submitted an administrative reconsideration request to the city government in May. The city government said it was not authorized to handle this and pushed it back to the county government. He complained to the Fushun City Procuratorate, which replied it was not in their jurisdiction.
He followed the request in the administrative reconsideration decision and filed an administrative complaint to the Qingyuan Court on July 19, 2022. He asked the court to hold a hearing on his Xinbin County government information disclosure case. He made multiple calls to follow his complaint in the following two months. But either his calls were not answered or he was told to wait. He applied for administrative complaint supervision at the Qingyuan Procuratorate in September 2022. He did not get a reply. He submitted an indictment for procuratorate supervision in November 2022. He did not get a reply.
On November 12, 2022 he received a decision from the Qingyuan County Court in the mail regarding his information disclosure complaint. The issue date was September 28. The decision said his case was dismissed since it was a termination dispute.
9. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Mr. Su Qinghua Missing
Mr. Su Qinghua is missing. He left Chengdu City in October 2021 to avoid persecution. In mid-October 2022, he posted his photo on social media when he was at the Chengdu to Chongqing highway service station. He said that if he was not reachable for several days, it meant that he was arrested by Domestic Security Division officers.
