Today, we reveal a shocking case from Beijing’s Chaoyang District that exposes the dark side of law enforcement in China.
Ding Guomin, an ordinary villager, was attacked multiple times by her in-laws. When she called the police, she expected justice. Instead, what she got was silence, refusal, and violence. Xiaohongmen Police Station refused to file her complaints, refused to issue legal documents, and when she pushed for her rights, officers stormed her home.
On August 7, two policemen, without showing ID, violently handcuffed and dragged away her husband, who has an intellectual disability. They did this not outside, not in public, but inside her own home.
This is more than a personal tragedy. It is a story about the collapse of the system. A system that punishes victims. A system that shields perpetrators. A system where the law is a tool of power, not a shield for the powerless.
Ding Guomin has appealed to women’s groups, to higher police authorities, to the government. Yet no one has answered. Her case shows how fragile the promise of “rule of law” really is in China’s capital city.
We must ask: If Beijing, the political heart of the country, allows this, what does that mean for millions elsewhere? Who is safe in a society where law itself becomes violence?
