Petitioners Arrested and Detained as Security Level Rises in Beijing

As a tradition, high ranking CCP officials and senior politicians vacation in Beidaihe District near Beijing during the end of July and early August every year. As a result, security in Beidaihe has been significantly upgraded recently. Petitioners said that there are about 30,000 military police stationed in the area and that petitioners from all over the country were repatriated, detained, or imprisoned before they could appeal.
