Wang Kouma Closely Monitored by Shanghai Authorities

This short article (Chinese only) describes Shanghai petitioner Wang Kouma’s determination to continue to fight his case despite being categorized as one of the five types of people accused by a Chinese expert of being used by the United States to interfere with China’s rise. The five types of people were listed in the July 31, 2012 People’s Daily article “What Are Real Challenges for China?” by Yuan Peng, head of the American Institute of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.

Wang has petitioned for many years since his family home was taken away. His mother died in a black jail and Wang himself was imprisoned for “abandoning” his mother. On July 20, 2012, Wang was forcibly taken back to Shanghai by police during a trip to Beidaihe, Henan Province. He was spared detention because of his high blood pressure, but has been put under round-the-clock surveillance by six security guards.

新五类分子王扣玛被上海当局严密监控（附照片）

权利运动

知名维权人士王扣玛自7月20日到北戴河避暑被截回上海后，虽因严重高血压逃过了拘留的厄运，但至今一直有当局雇佣的每班6个保安蹲守长宁区江苏路480弄76号旁边，对王扣玛实行24小时无缝监控。

最近，党的喉舌又重抄文革前17年批判阶级敌人五类分子的论调，将维权和弱势群体等纳入新五类分子（即意识形态上的阶级敌人），干扰了中国的崛起。很不幸，王扣玛这样的弱势群体还要依法维权，那当然就是应该被批斗的新五类分子了，更何况还到北戴河凑热闹避暑，让正在商讨大计的领导不能够崛起。

被定性为新五类分子的王扣玛还是不服，自己的合法房屋被抢，母亲被关死在黑牢，自己反被以“遗弃罪”刑讯和判刑，导致终身残疾，当局凭什么还要用侮辱人格的方式限制人身自由？为此，王扣玛搬出《宪法》37条，甚至还有国务院的《信访条例》的有关规定，借用著名刑事辩护律师莫少平所指：中国法典里没有软禁这个措施，所有的限制人身自由行为都是非法的。

宪法和法律很丰满，可骨感到残酷的现实除了跟你讲崛起又有谁跟你讲法律呢？据说十八大还有两个月就要开了，目前被认定为干扰崛起的、已经被监控和囚禁的新五类分子可能超过了文革前反“五类分子”运动时期。
