Huang,Peiming: Power that is out of control lead to worsened injustice of appealers
黄培明（Huang,Peiming）
Modern society is a legal society, common people can’t resort to legal means, and turn to appeals. For a long time, office receiving petitions and personal visits is the last hope for Chinese people. The existence of this phenomenon strikes the achilles＇heel of the legal system. However, in the process of appeals and waiting for results, tragedy begins in their life and their lives totally change afterwards……
In recent years, local governments take aggressive attitudes for appeals, some local governments take appealers in custody or reeducation through labor, or sentenced in prison, some are even sent to mental hospitals. Methods to deal with appealers renovate continuously, leading to worsened injustice of appealers, more appealers, some local governments seldom rethink profoundly.
Appealers are those victims who suffer from abuse of power, and omittance. To safeguard legal interests and pursue justice, out of trust for upper party and government, people who suffered interests turn to appeals when local government doesn’t solve problems. Some officials abuse power, and think power can determine everything, power can domain anything, and everyone should listen to them. Sanctions, arrests, reeducation through labor are common methods to deal with appealers. Laws are power in hands, their power is law.
The rights for people to appeal are granted by constitution, law and letters and visits articles, and why appeal to Beijing should be punished, imprisoned and reeducated? Why not find reasons from policies and decisions to solve appeals?
Letters and visits articles are bottom line to guarantee people’s rights, some local governments ignore regulations which is the result of rampant power. Officials in some local governments violate constitution and laws and some even lost basic morality. I can’t help but question: “What in the world do you want to do?”
