This morning, Chen Qitang (net of justice, Guangdong famous activist,And our common agency Sanshan farmers' land rights)The caller said part of Nanhai Sanshan village of support to the Southern Weekly, let me immediately,And provide legal help. I heard the heart shock:Past farmer Nanhai Sanshan landless had experienced long hard rights, out of life,They struggle and police crackdowns, may be more intense,Don't make big trouble!
   So, I went to the Southern Newspaper headquarters, see some Sanshan village where (after understanding,There are nearly two hundred villagers came back and forth). Upon inquiry,They support the South week motivation is simple: 1,Sanshan peasant land is Nanhai government rapacious, peasants nowhere right occasion,Domestic media only Southern Newspaper Southern Metropolis Daily speak boldly in defense of justice,In 2011 the mountain farmers cases were reported substantial objective,So the three people have been honored Nandu, then love, solidarity with South weeks, expression of gratitude.2, three years the land rights of way has been extremely difficult, the pain of democracy and the rule of law,Press freedom is the lack of them has no effect of root,The three man may sound for freedom of the press,At the same time, also hope the misery caused by three Chinese and foreign media attention. 
   Before,I and Chen Qitang common agency Sanshan village Guo Huojia v. Guangdong Provincial Department of land and resources on illegal landAdministrative litigation, is representative of the whole three people in litigation,Because Guo case is related to the three hills land rights can obtain judicial relief.However, the South China Sea, Foshan two naked misinterpreted the law court,All that the court has no power to accept this kind of illegal land administration lawsuit. At this point,Judicial proceedings to the landless peasants closed door, judicial relief hopeless. In view of this,Sanshan Thanksgiving to southern group in the expression of feelings and expectations, caused widespread concern in the outside world,Can be perfectly logical and reasonable, but also completely legitimate, I have no reason to oppose.I was absolutely simple moved three people,Also on the great harm and suffering, people suffer from hold deep sympathy. In addition,Three adults paid a huge price -- many people by the authorities, a death sentence structure,Is short-term detention and beating too many to count. Thus.I'm worried about three people heart buried bear a deep grudge against sb., whether there will be a radical words and deeds, trigger a clash with police.I think I arrived in time for controlling the state of affair. 
   I arrived at the scene about 10 points more than in the south gate, a large number of police week,Pedestrian scanty. The police kept away those who stopped, about distance gate one hundred or two hundred meters place,The police are watching kept urging, driver.I asked if the police had two buses will be some three village to where,The police ignored me. Was rushed to the villagers Su Changlan, because she is missing,Was angry and urgent, while tears while looking at the scene, ask,There are some villagers unwilling so hurry back, stop and police theory and keep photographing.
   At first, the police attitude is fairly normal, soon, they will lose patience, pushing the villagers.I stepped forward to ask the police to abide by the law, not to be frivolous, so as to avoid conflicts.The villagers' basic are rational and calm, but the police soon begin --Some men rushed police, a police line theory with villagers and i,Chen Qitang forcibly push the car. The police force is very fierce, I caught a part,To release is still somewhat dull pain.
   The intimate contact, great physical exertion, the car rest no protest.
   We were taken to a primary school in Guangzhou metro. Today is Saturday,Campus no students. We were taken to see the school playground, some villagers in there.Police in the understanding of my lawyer identity, separate me aside interrogation,And do the interrogation record, I refused to sign the record -- because it is not a formal communication,And refuse to sign does no harm to the police. The police asked me whether the interrogation to mobilize villagers to support,Of course I deny that -- I only know a few villagers, to mobilize not possible,Besides, three years into the land and the people struggle, without anyone mobilization;But although they are farmers, understanding of many things, not a city than shallow,But the city than honest. After the family lost the pain, they deeply understand the rule of law, democracy,Freedom of speech for everyone is so precious.To put economic rights and political rights are combined, this point is commendable.
   At about two or three a.m., Minami Kokubo sent a few bus and go Su LAN chang,Chen Qitang and the other villagers.At the same time, Guangzhou City Bureau of Justice Department leadership and pipe the director came to campus,After hearing my story and the police made a good communication. At about nearly four points,I was allowed to leave, pipe department leader said Tuesday to my research, to go into the matter.Subsequently received Su Changlan phone,Learned that the villagers were two police interrogation to Nanhai dali,And asked the villagers signature assurance later no longer appeal and similar activities,It's illegal to appeal to the name of the offences, and villagers refused to detention if threat,The villagers agree unyielding refuses to sign (the last batch of villagers released is eleven thirty in the evening). The authorities punish petition is through conventional, now has been announced to stop,If the police how to cure the three people in South China sea.

   The event summary:
   1, the police action exceeding one's expectations. Were it not for the police to quickly,Chen Qitang and I had to persuade villagers to calm, to avoid conflict, timely evacuation.
   2, the villagers no excesses, but the police,At first I was afraid the villagers over a joke.
   3, the school became the temporary detention facilities, the school of shame.China tradition always respect reader, pay attention to school,The more soldiers to catch people stop school said, but since 49,Civilizations obviously backwards.
   4, be honest, the overall level of civilization is the Guangzhou police,Recently, most of the time was restrained to champion.Worry about the rest gathered numerous and powerful clearance,The old thinking or dimensional stability and some anti democratic stale forces at work.
