Mother Nungyu complained for seven years, and harassment extended to relatives: the CCP judiciary has pressured the re-emergence of the punishment

After the sentence of 14 years in prison for the Guangdong “Wiki vice case”, his mother Hachin, who had been charged with the crime, had recently been harassed by his relatives for nearly seven years. On 7 November, Humans Watch revealed that the sister who had long-serving care of Wang Haqqin had received a continuous telephone call from a strange woman who had repeatedly called and interfered with normal life. Wang Hae-chian accused the village officials and the anti-fraud agents of having pressured their relatives to stop helping themselves.

Relatives received harassment calls and care relationships were interfered with

• According to Wang Hae-chian, a strange woman called her sister for two days in a row, without distinction, initially claiming that the failure of her mobile phone led to an automatic dialling, and then publicly stating that she was harassing her.
• Before, a village official who knew her sister had attacked Wang Hachin under the stigma of “gay” and warned her to continue to take care of her, which could have been punished for offending her superiors. When the sister refused, the person concerned contacted other relatives.
• Heicheng Wang also alleged that the local anti-fraud centre had frequent contacts with families under the guise of fraud and verification, accompanied by threatening language.

The expansion of the harassment from the complainant to relatives providing life care is the most interesting new case for this matter.

Continued complaint behind 14 years of imprisonment

The Noose Tengwoo case began in 2019 with an incident in which the personal information of Xi Jinping's family was exposed to the overseas website. The Guangdong Public Security Police then arrested several young network technicians, including Zao Tengwoo. In December 2020, the Mo Nam District Court of Mau Mumi City sentenced Niu to 14 years ' imprisonment for the search for sedition, violation of citizen ' s personal information and illegal business, which was upheld in second instance.

Wang Hae-chian has long alleged that there are problems of torture, evidentiary disputes and restricted rights to defence, and has repeatedly sought the assistance of a lawyer, applied for a file and promoted a retrial. In May this year, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, in its Opinion No. 10/2026, found that Nobino Tengyu had been arbitrarily detained and requested the Government of China to release him immediately and to grant him appropriate compensation and relief. But Niu Teng Woo is still serving his sentence in Guangdong Four Prison.

During the complaint, the family also disclosed the experience of lawyers withdrawing from their representation, the blocking of their papers, the blocking of their telephone numbers and the disruption of their economic activities. In September 2025, during his presentation of the case to the Central Patrol Unit, the father was beaten by several persons on the basis of allegations by his family.

The right to appeal and the conflict with the right to security at the grass-roots level

These incidents concern the judiciary, the cadres at the grass-roots level and the institutions that have public administration functions. In particular, it is necessary to track why anti-fraud management and grass-roots governance forces are used by family members to interfere with the relatives of the complainant and whether the persons concerned use administrative resources to prevent family members from continuing to assist.

The problem is rooted in the fact that the CCP system has both investigative, prosecutorial and judicial powers and control over complaints through the grass-roots security mechanisms. When a complaint may involve the responsibility of the original body, judicial correction may conflict with the preservation of existing judgements and the protection of the interests of the local political system. The lack of independent monitoring makes it difficult for complainants to break this power relationship through the normal process.

She is not a party to the case and is not obliged to stop caring for her family in the case of Niu Tengyu. If the grass-roots workers threaten to assist the complainants, this constitutes an unlawful interference with normal family life. The village officials involved, the anti-fraud bodies and their superior authorities are responsible for specific acts.

The most serious systemic problem in the Nuttung case has exceeded the 14-year sentence itself. A family seeking justice in accordance with the law continues to face allegations of interference with life, correspondence and kinship, reflecting the fact that political justice cases may result in de facto collateral punishment.

The court decided to deal with the cow alone, but it was probably the whole family that continued to suffer the consequences. This is the real danger posed by the lack of independent oversight and effective mechanisms for redressing the Chinese Communist Party's power.
