【新唐人2013年05月22日讯】幼女开房案或涉高官 禁律师代言
最近，7名中国大陆律师，就海南万宁校长带6名幼女开房案件，前往海南进行公民法律监督，并控告万宁警方涉嫌伪证和徇私枉法，要求异地侦办。
5月20号，其中一名珠海律师接到珠海司法局指令，禁止他代理受害幼女。而受害幼女的家长，也没有一个人敢与律师们接触。
参与调查的广州律师隋牧青在微博发帖，披露了珠海司法局禁令，并评论说，“强奸犯力量真大！天下官员是一家，动作真快，能量够大。”引起网络舆论哗然，谴责司法局的声浪四起。
珠海司法局的官方微博随后发帖回应辩解说，“律师管理科室仅是向该律师了解有关情况并提醒，从未禁止律师依法依规代理案件。”但是再次招来网友炮轰，纷纷要求司法局公开所谓“提醒律师”的内容。
中国大陆的律师唐荆陵认为，涉案的校长和公职人员职位都不高，这两个人的丑闻很难动用到专政机关，甚至动用到司法厅局来阻止律师介入，案件背后可能涉及比较高阶层的官员，或者有其他黑幕。

肇庆村民堵路抗议 警察打人抓人
为抗议集体土地被官员非法侵占，5月20号，广东肇庆高要市蚬岗镇蚬二村数百村民，拉起写有：“反对侵占集体土地 维护村民利益”的横幅，堵塞高速路口，不让车辆通过，导致大塞车，车龙长达一公里。
两小时后，上百名手持盾牌和警棍的防暴警察来到现场，先是与村民对峙，随后向村民进行突击驱赶、追打，村民见状纷纷四散，有走避不及或反抗的村民，则被警方带走，多人被捕关押在市区。
数百村民到市政府门口抗议，要求释放被捕人士，但是没有结果。
目前，村民人心惶惶，担心会遭到政府的报复。

Hainan Sexual Assault: Lawyer Banned From Defending
A Hainan Headteacher and a public official were exposed
for suspected sleeping with six underage girls.
Seven lawyers recently arrived at Hainan to oversee
the case handling.
They sued local police on suspicion of perjury and
favoritism, and requested off-site investigations.
On May 20th one of the seven lawyers received
an instruction from Zhuhai Judicial Administration.
This Zhuhai-based lawyer was banned from defending
the female victims.
The victims’ parents dare not make contact with the lawyers.
Sui Muqing, a participating lawyer, disclosed
the Zhuhai ban on his weibo.
Sui commented: “The rapists are really powerful! All
officials are like one family, acting quickly and powerfully.”
The post has aroused lots of online public reactions all
condemning the Zhuhai Judicial Administration.
Responding, the Zhuhai Justice team claimed in its official
Weibo that “The departments of legal administration asked
for related information from this lawyer and reminded him.
They have never banned lawyers from defending clients
in accordance with the law and regulations.”
The post then triggered more condemnation and requests for
making public the message of “reminding” the lawyer.
Chinese lawyer, Tang Jingling, has said that the implicated
principal and public official are both of low rank.
It’s unlikely that the authorities will pay much attention
to their case.
Even local Judicial Administration stepped in
to prevent the lawyer’s involvement.
Lawyer Tang speculated that senior officials may be involved
in the case, or there are other dark secrets.
US Report: China’s Religious Freedom On the Decline
On May 20th U.S. State Department issued the
International Religious Freedom Report 2012.
The annual report stated that eight countries including China
and Burma have “seriously violated” freedom of faith, the
fundamental value of human beings.
The report shows that in China, “the respect by the
authorities for religious freedom is on the decline.”
Mass Protest in Guangdong Against Illegal Land Acquisition
On May 20th in Zhaoqing city, Guangdong, hundreds of villagers
staged a protest against local officials’ illegal land acquisition.
The protestors held banners that read, “Oppose seizure of
collectively-owned lands, Safeguard the villagers’ interests.”
They blocked the highway intersections, causing a traffic jam
reaching back for one kilometer.
Two hours later, a hundred SWAT police
arrived at the scene.
After a confrontation, the police suddenly drove the
villagers away by chasing and beating.
The villagers then dispersed, some were taken away
by the police.
Several people are now detained in the urban areas.
Later in front of the city hall, several hundred villagers
demanded the release of the detainees.
Yet no official response was made.
By now, the villagers are worried about the reprisal attack
by the authorities.
