惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。(羅馬書 5:8)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8
“Wuhan Urban Management Officers Brutally Beat Street Vendors; Authorities Delete Videos to Suppress Public Outrage (2026.08.09)”
On the evening of August 9, on a pedestrian overpass near Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang District, Wuhan, Hubei Province, urban management officers became involved in a confrontation with two street vendors, a man and a woman, and then violently assaulted them.
Multiple videos from the scene show one uniformed urban management officer and two plainclothes personnel surrounding and beating the two vendors on the overpass. During the assault, one officer repeatedly struck the female vendor in the face, knocking her to the ground. He then used a pair of handcuffs to repeatedly strike the male vendor. Even after the man was no longer resisting, the officer continued the assault with a plastic water bottle and also struck the woman in the head with the bottle, knocking her down again. Several other uniformed enforcement personnel could be seen standing nearby watching and filming, but none intervened.
After bystanders uploaded the videos to social media, the footage quickly sparked widespread anger among netizens. Many users reposted the videos and called for those responsible to be severely punished. However, the videos were soon deleted in large numbers by online censors.
@YesterdayBigcat We need to raise awareness of this brutality! Totally unacceptable! Chinese people have no protection under the law. Urban officers have abused their power many many times! The whole world needs to condemn this type of brutality. It’s happening on a daily basis in China!
