An outrageous incident occurred at the Chinese consulate in Manchester, UK on the 16th of this month. A group of civil groups protesting against the CCP went to the consulate to hold signs to protest, but they did not expect that the diplomats from the consulate not only rushed out of the consulate to destroy the signs, but also put the protesters directly. He was dragged into the consulate and beaten, and after the film was exposed, it caused global attention and uproar.
According to the British “BBC Chinese Network” report, on the afternoon of the 16th of this month, a group of “Front for the Defence of Hong Kong People” arrived at the Chinese consulate in Manchester, took advantage of the opening day of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to protest, and put on “the sky will destroy the CCP” ” and “Mother He Qu” protest slogans, as well as a satirical portrait of Xi Jinping.
But soon after, a man suddenly rushed out of the consulate and began to destroy the protest signs of “Heaven destroys the CCP” and “He Qu’s mother”, and then clashes broke out between the two sides. It can be seen that there are British police at the scene, but then a number of men wearing dark clothes appeared in the consulate. In addition to having physical conflicts with the protesters, they even dragged one of the protesters into the consulate and beat them violently. Finally, the British police intervened to rescue the beaten protester.
Some protesters said that the silver-haired man who destroyed the protest banner was Zheng Xiyuan, the Chinese consul general in Manchester. In addition, Bob, who was beaten by the Chinese consulate personnel, also described what happened at the time to VOA: “I was punched and kicked after being pulled in. I had scars on my face, bleeding, swelling, and hair on my head was pulled away. , there are swellings, bruises on the neck and back, and a little pain in the waist.”
Bob said that the whole incident was quite terrifying. He said that with the concerted efforts of the Hong Kong protesters and the police at the scene, he was successfully pulled out of the consulate, but he called on British politicians to strongly condemn the incident and cannot accept peaceful protesters being attacked . Bob said that after the visit, he would go to the police for a medical check-up and report, “I will definitely insist on speaking out and continue to oppose this tyrannical Communist Party.”
In response, the Chinese consulate in Manchester responded, saying, “This kind of vile behavior cannot be tolerated or accepted by any diplomatic or consular institution of any country. We express our strong indignation and firm opposition to it.” At present, the British police only responded briefly, saying that the incident had entered the investigation process, and other details would not be disclosed. However, Alicia Kearns, the new chair of the British Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, said on Twitter that the British Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary need to urgently investigate the incident. She said it was unacceptable for the Chinese Communist Party to bring their attacks on protesters and suppression of freedom of speech into the streets of the UK.
