本期介绍被迫害人士：沈爱斌，1973年10月出生，江苏无锡人，退伍军人、前中共党员及公务员、维权公民、公民记者。原无锡市锡山区城市管理局城管大队长（曾任副大队长、法制科科长）。
最新近况：
沈爱斌出狱后仍面临常态化的暴力袭扰与司法限制：
1. 2025年10月： 前往派出所交涉时，遭副所长指使人员围殴，导致双侧鼻骨骨折（轻伤二级）及头部外伤昏迷，无锡警方反将其以涉嫌“寻衅滋事”刑事拘留并转监视居住。
2.2026年5月： 官方变更为取保候审，但其十数次申请外出就医均被警方无理拒绝。
3.2026年8月： 8月4日遭广益派出所警察强行抄家，扣押多部手机及硬盘，并以违反监督管理规定（出城看病）为由行政拘留5天。8月9日拘留期满获释当天，在拘留所门口再度被警方无缝拦截传讯，目前仍处于严密监控中 。
一、个人简历
1991年参军入伍，考取军校成为部队军官。2002年转业至无锡市城管系统。在职期间，他因其法制科长的专业背景与正义感，长期无偿为全国弱势访民提供法律援助。他多次参与曝光、营救被地方维稳部门非法拘禁在宾馆、农家乐的访民（即民间“黑监狱”），触怒了地方利益集团，随后遭政治报复被开除党籍、开除公职。
二、政治立场
1.坚定捍卫宪法与公民基本权利。高度强调《中国宪法》赋予公民的言论自由、人身自由和控告权。主张一个国家只有真正落实法治，保障公民基本人权，社会才能获得公平。
2.反对非法维稳与黑恶化执法。强烈抵制和谴责地方政府对访民实施的截访、跟踪、软禁及法外“黑监狱”等黑恶化执法手段。
三、被捕与判刑经历
沈爱斌因长期参与维权和声援访民，曾三次被构陷判刑：
1.第一次判刑（2013年－2015年）： 因参与营救被非法关押的访民，被无锡市滨湖区法院以“故意毁坏财物罪”判刑1年6个月。
2.第二次判刑（2016年－2019年）： 因出狱后坚持维权并在网络揭露地方腐败，被以“寻衅滋事罪”判处有期徒刑2年6个月。
3.第三次判刑（2022年－2025年）： 因声援访民毛黎惠之死并要求追责，于2023年9月被以“寻衅滋事罪”判刑3年，服刑期间自述遭受隔离及电磁辐射等严重迫害，至2025年4月30日刑满出狱。
四、社会评价、国际评价
1.社会与民间评价：他被誉为“无锡维权领袖”和“底层访民的保护伞”。他是体制内法治良心的代表、无私无畏的孤勇者，其命运是中国基层维稳体制黑恶化的受害者缩影。
2.国际与人权界评价：国际人权组织长期将其列入中国良心犯重点监测名单。国际社会高度评价他为捍卫公民迁徙自由、反酷刑所做的和平抗争。其长达十余年的遭遇，被视为中国基层司法失灵、“寻衅滋事罪”口袋罪被滥用至极点的法治倒退铁证。2026年4月其跨国求救信曝光后，引发国际社会对中国政治犯“出狱后生存与医疗权被剥夺”现象的强烈谴责。
五、《在野党》杂志人权观察部呼吁
1. 立即停止系统性政治迫害，恢复其人身自由。呼吁中国当局遵守宪法承诺，立即撤销针对沈爱斌的政治控罪，解除取保候审与变相软禁，彻底恢复其公民自由。
2. 停止剥夺生命健康权，保障其无条件就医的基本人权。谴责地方警方利用限制就医作为政治惩罚的非人道行径。必须保障其前往专业医疗机构治疗鼻骨骨折与旧疾的基本生存权。
3.呼吁国际社会及联合国人权机构紧急介入关注：紧急呼吁联合国人权机构及国际正义力量持续发声，共同抵制和谴责中国地方政府针对人权捍卫者实施的系统性迫害。

Opposition Party Magazine — China Human Rights Watch Brief, Issue No. 39 (August 14, 2026)
Author: Zhang Weiqing
Featured Persecuted Individual: Shen Aibin, born in October 1973, native of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. Military veteran, former CCP member, former civil servant, human rights defender, and citizen journalist. Formerly the Brigade Commander of the Urban Management Bureau in Xishan District, Wuxi City (previously served as Deputy Brigade Commander and Chief of the Legal Affairs Section).
Latest Status:
Following his release from prison, Shen Aibin continues to face normalized physical violence, harassment, and judicial restrictions:
1. October 2025: When he went to the local police station to negotiate, he was gang-beaten by individuals instructed by the deputy police chief, resulting in bilateral nasal bone fractures (classified as Second-Degree Minor Injury) and head trauma that caused him to lose consciousness. Instead of investigating the attackers, Wuxi police criminally detained him on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” and subsequently placed him under residential surveillance.
2. May 2026: Authorities officially changed his measure to release on bail pending trial (guaranty pending trial), yet police unreasonably rejected his applications to seek outside medical treatment more than ten times.
3. August 2026: On August 4, police from the Guangyi Police Station forcibly raided his home, confiscating multiple mobile phones and hard drives. They subsequently placed him under a 5-day administrative detention on charges of violating administrative supervision rules (leaving the city to seek medical treatment). On August 9, upon his release at the expiration of his administrative detention, he was seamlessly intercepted and summoned by police right at the gate of the detention center. He currently remains under strict surveillance.
I. Personal Biography
In 1991, he enlisted in the military and successfully passed the military academy entrance examination to become an officer. In 2002, he was transferred from military service to the municipal urban management system in Wuxi. During his tenure, drawing on his professional background as the Chief of the Legal Affairs Section and his strong sense of justice, he provided free, long-term legal aid to vulnerable petitioners across the nation. He repeatedly participated in exposing and rescuing petitioners unlawfully detained by local state-security forces in hotels and farmhouses (known informally as “black jails”). His actions angered local interest groups, resulting in political retaliation: he was expelled from the Communist Party and dismissed from public office.
II. Political Stance
1. Firm Defender of the Constitution and Fundamental Civil Rights. He strongly emphasizes the freedom of speech, personal freedom, and the right to lodge complaints guaranteed to citizens under the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. He advocates that only when a nation truly implements the rule of law and safeguards fundamental human rights can society achieve true fairness.
2. Opponent of Unlawful “Stability Maintenance” and Gang-Style Law Enforcement. He strongly resists and condemns local government practices of intercepting, tracking, house-arresting, and placing petitioners in extrajudicial “black jails,” characterizing these as gang-style law enforcement measures.
III. Arrests and Sentencing History
Due to his long-term engagement in human rights defense and his support for petitioners, Shen Aibin has been framed and sentenced three times:
1. First Sentence (2013–2015): For participating in the rescue of unlawfully detained petitioners, he was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison by the Binhu District People’s Court of Wuxi City on the charge of “intentionally destroying property.”
2. Second Sentence (2016–2019): After his release, because he persisted in defending rights and exposing local corruption online, he was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison on the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.”
3. Third Sentence (2022–2025): For voicing support following the death of petitioner Mao Lihui and demanding accountability, he was sentenced in September 2023 to 3 years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” During his imprisonment, he reported experiencing severe persecution, including solitary isolation and electromagnetic radiation exposure, until his release upon completion of his sentence on April 30, 2025.
IV. Social and International Assessments
1. Social and Grassroots Assessment: He is hailed as the “leader of Wuxi’s human rights defense movement” and a “protective umbrella for grassroots petitioners.” He represents the conscience of the rule of law from within the establishment—a selfless and fearless solitary fighter whose fate serves as a microcosm of the criminalization and degradation of China’s grassroots stability-maintenance apparatus.
2. International and Human Rights Community Assessment: International human rights organizations have long included him on key monitoring lists for prisoners of conscience in China. The international community highly commends his peaceful struggle to defend citizens’ freedom of movement and oppose torture. His plight over more than a decade is viewed as concrete proof of the breakdown of China’s grassroots judiciary and the regression of the rule of law through the extreme abuse of the catch-all charge “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” After his international letter for help was exposed in April 2026, it sparked strong condemnation from the international community regarding the phenomenon where Chinese political prisoners are “deprived of basic survival and medical rights after release.”
V. Appeals by the Human Rights Watch Department of Opposition Party Magazine
1. Immediately stop systemic political persecution and restore his personal freedom. We call on the Chinese authorities to abide by their constitutional commitments, immediately revoke all political charges against Shen Aibin, lift the bail conditions and disguised house arrest, and fully restore his civil liberties.
2. Cease the deprivation of the right to life and health, and guarantee his fundamental human right to unconditional medical treatment. We condemn the inhumane practice of local police utilizing restrictions on medical care as political punishment. The authorities must guarantee his fundamental right to survival, allowing him to seek treatment at professional medical institutions for his nasal fractures and pre-existing medical conditions.
3. Urget the international community and United Nations human rights bodies to urgently intervene and take action: We urgently call on United Nations human rights bodies and international forces of justice to continuously speak out, jointly resist, and condemn the systemic persecution executed by local Chinese authorities against human rights defenders.
