E/CN.4/1995/34 page 24 admonitions, the Suhui branch office imposed a seven-day administrative detention on Xing, which was upheld on 18 May 1993 by the Municipal Public Security Bureau. His demonstration at the consulate was connected to an action he had brought against the Australian Consulate-General for a severe beating he had received while in detention in Australia after his student visa had expired and his request for political asylum had been denied. On 27 August he went again to the Australian Consulate and created a disturbance which affected public order and traffic. On 7 September the Suhui branch office again ordered him to serve a seven-day administrative detention. An examination of his injuries caused by the beating he had received in Australia revealed that a brain injury had led to mental impairment. He was transferred to An Kang for treatment and has since recovered and left the hospital in normal health. 106.

Upon refusing to make the declaration, they were reportedly separated and taken either to a prison in Chamdo or to the district prison at Dragyab, where they were allegedly tortured with electric cattle prods.
