Protests in China on the issue of bullying in viral schools

The bullying in southern China has sparked a series of protests and called for more justice to the 14 -year -old.

A video of the girl was slapped, kicked and forced to kneel by three other minors in Jiangio in Sichuan Province last week.

Police said that all three suspects are female, between the ages of 13, 14 and 15 – two of whom were sent to “specialized schools for corrective education.”

With the spread of the accident on social media, many felt that the punishment was very light – especially after allegations that the girl was intimidated for some time and that her mother, who is said to be deaf, has appealed to the authorities for more justice for her daughter.

In a series of videos, which the perpetrators called, the victim can be heard, saying that she would contact the police after she was hit again and repeatedly with a stick. Then one of the girls who attack her said they are not afraid. Another said that she had gone to the police station more than 10 times, and claimed that she had been liberated in less than 20 minutes.

These comments have echoed with those who are afraid of not being enough to punish bullying in China.

The accident pushed a wave of public anger via the Internet and protests erupted outside the local government offices in Jiangio.

More than 1,000 people gathered on the street on August 4 and remained until midnight, according to local store owners.

One of them informed BBC that “things became bloody” after the police used the rams and electrical products to control the crowd.

It seems that many videos posted on the Internet check his account. Officers who make demonstrators can be seen along the street and beat them with batons. A witness also said that he saw some of the water bottles that were dumped at the police.

“People only wanted justice,” he said. “People were upset with punishment (lack of).”

The witnesses who spoke to the BBC were not ready to give their names because the police urged the local residents not to talk about the accident.

In an invitation to the local public security office, the British Broadcasting Authority was told that there are “restrictions on the foreign press asking questions.”

The protests in China are not uncommon, but they are quickly closed and monitored on the media run by the country and the Internet.

The demonstrations in Jiangio forced the police to issue another statement to clarify the rumors that the attackers were a lawyer and a police inspector. The police said these allegations are wrong.

“Two parents are unemployed, two working outside the province, one of which is a local sales representative, and one is a local delivery driver,” the statement said.

The police punished two people for deploying fake information online, saying that their posts “were seriously disrupted by public order and caused a bad social impact.”

A lawyer based in Shanghai said in an online post that this incident is the most prominent legal dilemma for Chinese officials.

He wrote on the Chinese social media platform: “The penalty for causing very slight injuries is very moderate, while the physical and mental shock that the victims suffer from is ignored by law, which leads to a major defect in protecting their rights.”

Its credentials have been checked by the BBC, but it is unwilling to call it.

Bullet has become a very sensitive topic in China in recent years, and the death of students on the alleged bullying has sparked protests in the past.

In January this year, The death of a teenage boy sparked violent protests In a city in northwest China. Things were thrown at the police during demonstrations in Bushing in Shanshi Province. The authorities said that the teenager fell until his death in an accident in his dormitory in his school, but there were allegations on social media with covering up.

last year A Chinese court issued long penalties To two teenagers who killed a colleague in Hebei County in a shovel. The 13 -year -old children buried the victim in a warm vegetable greenhouse.

The victim was subjected to intimidation by his classmates, his family and lawyers claimed, while the court said that he had “suffered from a conflict” with convicted teenagers.
