She alleges that after she contacted the Special Rapporteur shortly after his arrival, the police have not allowed her to leave her home, even to dump garbage. 7. Following his visit, the Special Rapporteur received information that Ma Yalian was taken away by police on 14 January 2006 to the resident’s Committee in Huangpu district, Shanghai. She was then reportedly driven away by a van to an unknown location. The Resident’s Committee officials refused to inform her parents as to the reasons for her detention or her current whereabouts. 8. Jia Jianying, aged 47, Beijing. (Interview in Beijing on 24 November 2005) She is the wife of Mr. He Depu, currently in Beijing Prison No. 2 (see Appendix 2, para. 6). On 20 November 2005, the day of the Special Rapporteur’s arrival, she was called by the local police station to say that she could not move freely before 25 November. She was told by the police that this was because of the UN visit. She was informed that she would be escorted to work and back from the next day on. On this day, police cars appeared outside her house. On 21 November, police cars began to escort her to and from work at the Xuanwu District Hospital Library. On 22 November at approximately 1pm, the party secretary of her work called her to let her know a police car was waiting outside for her. Zhai Ming (State Security) and Zhang Zhengjie (director of the local Zhan Lanlu Police Station) were waiting outside in the police car. She was then taken to Zhan Lanlu Police Station where she was put under the custody of two police officers (Liu Liming and Wang Jing Feng). They told her that she should follow them and not make any phone calls. She was informed by the police officers that she would be taken away for a couple of days to avoid meeting with the visiting UN officials. She was taken to Changping County P.S.B Conference Centre 1.5 hrs away by car. At her request the police officers stopped by her house on their way to pick up some personal belongings. This was at approximately 15:30. She did not say anything to her mother but she whispered to her son that she was being taken away by the police. For this reason Jia Jianling was unable to meet the Special Rapporteur as arranged at 22.00hrs on 22 November. At 08.00hrs on 23 November the Special Rapporteur contacted Jia Jianying’s mother, Zhang Fengze, in order to verify Jia Jianying’s whereabouts. He then contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to clarify the situation. Jia Jianying states that on 23 November at around 14.00hrs she was handed a phone by one of the police officers and told to call her son and explain that she was on a work unit study trip. Later she sent a short text to her mother, Zhang Fengze, saying that she had been taken away by the police. She did not indicate where she was being held, but indicated that she would be there for three days. According to her son, He Jia, aged 20, shortly after his grandmother, Zhang Fengze, was contacted by the Special Rapporteur, Jia Jianying telephoned to tell her mother not to speak with the Special Rapporteur any further. At 23:30hrs Jia Jianying was informed that she could go home the next day. During the two nights she spent at the conference centre she was followed everywhere she went by the police officers, and the female officer slept in the same room as her. On 24 November, she was escorted by the police officers from the conference centre at 10.00 and was taken back to the police station. She was told to promise not to tell the Special Rapporteur what had happened, that she would be questioned after having spoken with the Special Rapporteur the next day. She was told that she might meet with the UN people that day and that if she told the UN anything she would be responsible for any consequences. She was told that she could not meet the Special Rapporteur at her home but outside her home would be fine. The director of the
