According to the Sichuan-based Tianwang Human Rights Center, the Wuxi Bureau for Letters and Calls (which received petitions from residents) in Jiangsu Province issued a document in 2003, stating that petitioners “with mental illness,” such as Lin Xiuqing (林秀青) and Zhu Shiqing (朱士清), were damaging Wuxi City’s image.[25] On October 25, RFA reported that Lin’s admission to psychiatric hospitals in 2001 and 2003 was retaliation against her petitioning in Beijing over undercompensated eviction. Zhu had been kept in psychiatric facilities for more than 200 days because he had complained about the police’s inaction over his beating by thugs in 1992.[26]
