China: Unaccountable “Chengguan” Forces Fuel Public Resentment End Impunity for Chengguan use of Excessive Force, Illegal Detention
http://www.hrw.org/node/107315 (Hong Kong) – China’s “chengguan,” the para-police agency tasked with enforcing non-criminal urban administrative regulations, is in some circumstances a threat to, rather than a guarantor of, public safety due to the agency’s lack of effective official supervision, training, and discipline, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released today.
The 76-page report, “Beat Him, Take Everything Away,” documents abuses by the chengguanUrban Management Law Enforcement (城管执法) forces, including assaults on suspected administrative law violators, some of which lead to serious injury or death, illegal detention, and unlawful forceful confiscation of property.
“The chengguan’s abusive conduct turns the idea of rule of law on its head,” said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch. “Instead of carrying out clearly defined and limited activities to enforce the law, some chengguan are abusing their authority.”
Established in 1997, there are now thousands ofchengguan para-police in at least 656 cities across China. In principle, their role is to enforce non-criminal administrative regulations, including rules governing environmental, sanitation, traffic, and urban beautification, and, where legally appropriate, impose fines on violators. They do not have the legal authority to detain or use excessive force against suspected violators of non-criminal administrative regulations.
