Shen Aibin's prison complaint went to the following: the Jiangsu provincial government blocked the public and review of information by “letters”

After she left the Jaeyang prison, Shen Ayabin complained to the Judicial Department of Jiangsu Province and to the Provincial Prison Administration about the treatment of her sentence. The complaint was transferred back to the Jail-yang prison and a sentence was given “it was found to be false”. He continued to ask the Jiangsu provincial government what record had been left of the supervisory process, but received two further documents that had kept him out of the process: the application for public information was classified as a “mail visit” and the application for administrative review was not considered admissible.

According to the source,Report and annexes to the 15 October public report of the Human Rights Defence NetworkShen Eibin first submitted a request to the Provincial Government for the performance of her duties and then, after 60 days of receipt of the relevant materials, she applied for the disclosure of the information produced and obtained by the Provincial Government when the request was processed. The Office of the Government of Jiangsu Province issued a reply (2026) 305 to the letter from the Office of the President of the Republic of Uganda, which recognized the application as a matter of correspondence and did not apply for public information from the Government. On 10 October, he received a further " notice " of the application for administrative review. From prison charges to superior supervision, to the disclosure of information and administrative review, Shen Ein has tried to ask how power is exercised, but has been denied procedurally.

Prison where the charges were made, why were the respondents to the investigation? The most striking scene of this incident was the referral of Shen Aibin ' s complaint to the Jaeyang Prison by the Provincial Prison Administration, which later denied it itself. (b) In the case of the allegations themselves, the information in the public domain provides the person ' s complaint and the prison ' s response; However, whatever the eventual determination of the allegations, the fact that the accused units are in charge of the interpretation of their own conduct reveals the fundamental dilemma of the oversight relationship. If the superior body simply transfers the material, accepts the denial of the lower level and does not give the basis for independent verification, so-called oversight can easily become a closed circuit within the system of power.

Shen Ai Bin has not stopped by the words “it is not true”. He further requested the Jiangsu provincial government to perform its supervisory duties and to follow up on the relevant performance records. The requirement here has a clear public significance: has the Government, when it receives a citizen ' s response, taken it into account, referred it to whom and on what basis? The administrative authorities have documents and flow records, and citizens can only follow up through the legal channels. If these channels are again blocked by the executive branch in a classit way, oversight is lost to social tests.

Governmental Information Disclosure Ordinance(b) Provide that letters, complaints and reports made in the form of information-public applications may be communicated to persons who are not subject to public application for information; The regulations also include in the definition of government information information produced or obtained by the executive branch in the course of its duties, and kept in a certain form of record. The law distinguishes between a request for a complaint and the existing record of the performance of the duty, and is not intended to allow the authorities to avoid all inquiries by using the word “mail visit”. It is the provincial government that is asking for information about its requests for performance of its duties. The Government of Jiangsu Province has classified this inquiry path as a mail visit, with the practical effect that the applicant was not shown the processing records that he sought.

The second threshold is from administrative review. CurrentAdministrative Review ActThe review of disputes concerning violations of legitimate rights and interests by the executive branch in the public sphere of government information. Shen Aibin challenged the public reply to the information and was subsequently informed that it was inadmissible. For ordinary citizens, it is not necessarily an adverse decision that is most difficult to bear, but it is the first to be told that this is not the door to be entered. The Government is responsible for classification, responses and has the right to explain why it is not going through the next procedure.

This is not a simple instrument dispute, but a question of whether power can be subject to external scrutiny. Prison charges were brought and denied; Oversight is pursued and applications are included in the correspondence; Citizens tried to review and were informed of the denial of access. The three chains are not a random friction, but a realistic picture of the internal flow of executive powers, their own interpretation and the setting of relief thresholds. For citizens, there are many levels of State authority, and the export of which can obtain a substantive response is becoming narrower.

This case also shows that the danger of the operation of authoritarian power is not only at the scene of arrest and imprisonment, but also in seemingly calm correspondence. A reply, a letter of information, may determine whether citizens can see what the Government has done. Shen Aibin is prepared to continue to pursue the proceedings, which means that he is still seeking to bring the controversy that has arisen within the executive branch to a procedure that can be examined in public.

Shen Aibin's question is specific: how does he function after he sues the prison? When a citizen cannot get a clear answer to this question, so-called legal oversight cannot remain only on the institutional writings of the institutional walls.
