Tweeting a Detention Experience

Oiwan Lam reports on the Global Voices Online:

Yesterday, Guangzhou blogger Beifeng went hiking with a number of friends in Baiyun mountain. Some of them were wearing a Tee-shirt that carry a slogan from Xinhua Daily in1946 that says: one-party rule will bring disaster everywhere (一黨獨裁,遍地是災). It is a communist party slogan against the former ruling party Kuomingtang. The group of people were interrogated by six police and brought to the police station for further investigation. The tea-time lasted for more than eight hours and Beifeng reports on the process via twitter. Here is a translation of his tweets:

一些人穿着印刷有当年”新华日报”主张TEE人爬白云山,被六名警察盘查中。

Some people with the t-shirts that carry the slogan of past “Xinhua Daily” are interogated by six police. They are on their way to climb Baiyun mountain.

警号018356的警员最积极。

Police officier numbered 018356 is most active.

警察要带人去派出所,这些人不让,僵持中。

The police officers want to take them to the police station, but they don’t want to go. There is a tension.

双方互拍中,警察要求删除拍下的视频。

Both sides are taking video of each other, the police officiers then ask us to delete the video.

有几个人身上的TEE写着”一党独裁,遍地是灾”。

The slogan on the t-shirts is “one party rule will bring disasters everywhere”.
