——洛杉矶第803次茉莉花行动声援湖北政治良心犯
记者 王府 张致君 洛杉矶报道
2026年8月15日下午，第803次“茉莉花行动”在中国驻洛杉矶总领事馆前举行。来自洛杉矶地区的中国民主党党员及人权活动人士聚集在领事馆外，以“荆楚不沉默，自由不可囚”为主题，声援湖北政治犯、良心犯及民主维权人士，并要求中国当局释放张毅、秦永敏、毛善春、刘家财等人，公布维权人士尹旭安的下落。
活动现场，多名参与者先后发表演讲。李语心、王利剑、张磊、姜俊良等人从言论自由、政治犯处境、个人经历以及海外抗争的意义等不同角度发声。主持人姜俊良、张磊则多次带领现场参与者喊出口号，将张毅、秦永敏、毛善春、刘家财、尹旭安、王宝龙、刘飞跃、杜导斌、刘艳丽、方斌等湖北异议人士和维权人士的名字带到洛杉矶街头。
“湖北的政治犯、良心犯、人权捍卫者，不要被遗忘”
集会开始后，李语心走到现场发言。
她没有从激烈的政治口号开始，而是把话题落在一个更基本的问题上——一个社会应该如何对待持不同意见的人。
李语心说：
“一个社会真正的文明，不是看它如何对待那些与自己意见相同的人，而是看它如何对待那些与权力不同意见的人。”
她表示，人们当然可以不同意甚至批评一个人的政治观点，但不能仅仅因为一个人表达了不同意见，就剥夺其自由。
李语心随后呼吁外界不要忘记湖北的政治犯、良心犯和人权捍卫者，并希望他们能够获得基本法律保障、律师会见、家属通信和探视等权利。
她说，自己更希望有一天，人们不再需要冒着风险站出来为“政治犯”发声，因为到了那一天，“每一个中国人都可以自由地说话，可以自由地表达自己的意见，可以依法维护自己的权利”。
她的发言结束时，现场响起掌声。
王利剑：“释放所有政治犯”
随后发言的王利剑则用更加直接的方式表达诉求。
他的发言十分简短，没有长篇演讲，而是连续喊出：
“释放所有政治犯。释放所有良心犯。”
随后，他又喊出要求共产党和习近平下台等政治口号。
短促的口号将现场气氛推向更加激烈的抗议节奏，也把当天集会最直接的诉求——释放政治犯和良心犯——再次带回现场中心。
张磊：过去在国内不敢说，今天选择站出来
当天发言中，张磊更多从自己的个人经历谈起。
张磊在现场介绍自己是中国民主党党员，同时也是湖北人。
他说，自己过去生活在中国时，因为担心人身安全，也担心亲朋好友受到打压和牵连，曾经“不敢站出来公开发声”。来到美国之后，他决定改变过去的沉默。
张磊说：
“今天，当我站在这个灯塔之国，我愿意鼓起勇气，向独裁政权抗议独裁政权表达我心中的不满。”
作为湖北人，张磊表示，当天海报上出现的十名湖北政治良心犯并不是全部，他还特别提到了肖诗昌、许光利等人的名字。
随后，他把话题转向一个海外民运活动中经常面对的质疑——站在中国领事馆门前抗议究竟有没有意义？
张磊说，经常有人问他：“你们每次站在中领馆门前喊几句口号，就能把中共喊下台吗？”
他的回答是：
“不能，至少不可能因为我们喊几句口号，它就立刻下台。”
但是他随即表示，这并不能成为停止行动的理由。
“如果每个人都选择沉默、选择放弃、选择认为自己的声音没有意义”，最终的结果就是越来越多的人习惯沉默。
在张磊看来，海外抗议真正的价值并不在于一次集会能够立即改变中国政治，而是让更多人听见不同的声音，让被关押和无法自由发声者的名字不至于消失。
他说：
“我们站出来，不只是为了喊口号，而是为了让更多人听见不同的声音，看到被掩盖的真相，开始独立思考。”
张磊还谈到自己目前在社交媒体上只有一千多个粉丝。他说，即使只能影响几十个人、几百个人，只要有人因此获得更多信息、开始独立判断，那么这些行动就没有完全白费。
“我们今天站在这里，也许力量还很微小，但至少我们没有选择沉默。”他说。
姜俊良：“荆楚不沉默，自由不可囚”
当天另一名主要发言人、主持人姜俊良的演讲则把现场情绪推向高潮。
站在中国驻洛杉矶总领事馆前，姜俊良首先喊出当天活动的主题：
“荆楚不沉默，自由不可囚！”
他在发言中猛烈批评中国当局以“煽动颠覆国家政权”等罪名处理政治异议人士，并指责强迫失踪、秘密关押以及长期监禁等做法。
姜俊良说，他们当天来到领事馆前，就是要让那些被关押者的名字继续被外界听见。
随后，他在现场一一喊出：
张毅、秦永敏、毛善春、刘家财、尹旭安、王宝龙、刘飞跃、杜导斌、刘艳丽、方斌。
当念到尹旭安时，现场将问题直接指向中国当局，质问：“尹旭安在哪里？”
按照活动方的说法，尹旭安来自湖北大冶，在赴北京求医期间遭遇维稳拦截，此后失去消息。活动参与者因此要求中国有关部门公开其下落。
姜俊良随后提出当天三项明确诉求：
立即无条件释放张毅、秦永敏、毛善春、刘家财；立即向社会公布尹旭安的下落；立即停止对政治异议人士和维权公民的迫害。
一个个名字被带到洛杉矶街头
随着活动继续，主持人姜俊良和张磊开始交替介绍此次集会声援的湖北人士。
两人首先提到张毅。现场发言称，张毅早在1989年前后就曾参与武汉当地民主活动，如今再次遭到羁押。
随后是秦永敏。
张磊在现场称秦永敏是湖北民主运动中具有代表性的人物，并特别谈到其长期入狱经历。
姜俊良随后介绍毛善春，活动方称其长期关注人权和维权事务，目前正在服刑。
紧接着，两人再次喊出刘家财和尹旭安的名字。
当谈到尹旭安时，张磊提高声音质问：
“尹旭安，你到底在哪里？！”
在领事馆外，一个个名字被不断念出。
活动方表示，他们希望通过这样的方式，让这些在中国国内受到限制、监控、羁押或者已经难以公开发声的人，继续被海外社会看见。
方斌、刘飞跃、杜导斌等人也成为声援对象
此次活动声援的对象并不限于仍在服刑者。
现场还提到了王宝龙、刘飞跃、杜导斌、刘艳丽、方斌等湖北民主和维权人士。
姜俊良在发言中谈到刘飞跃创办“民生观察”、长期关注中国基层社会和人权问题；同时提到杜导斌在中国互联网发展早期通过网络发表政治观点的经历。
张磊则谈到了刘艳丽以及武汉疫情期间通过影像记录当地情况的方斌。
活动主持人认为，即使一些人已经离开监狱，他们仍可能面临持续的政治和社会压力，因此同样不应该被外界遗忘。
从湖北人的身份到海外抗争
当天现场一个较为鲜明的特点，是“湖北”不仅仅作为地理概念出现。
从活动主题中的“荆楚”，到发言人反复念出的湖北异议人士姓名，再到张磊以湖北人的身份讲述自己从“不敢公开发声”到在洛杉矶领事馆前公开抗议的转变，“湖北”成为连接现场参与者与中国国内政治犯处境的一条主线。
对这些身处美国的活动人士而言，他们无法直接改变那些正在中国发生的案件，但他们试图通过持续集会，让相关人员的名字留在公共视野中。
正如张磊在现场所说，一次抗议不可能立即改变一个政权。
但他认为：“不能因为它不会立刻下台，我们就什么都不做。”
这句话也成为当天多名参与者发言的共同注脚。
“只要还有一个良心犯在狱中，我们就不会停止”
活动接近尾声时，姜俊良再次呼吁国际社会持续关注中国政治犯和良心犯的处境。
张磊则向身处中国的异议人士喊话，称他们“绝不是孤岛”，海外活动人士仍将继续关注他们的处境。
两人再次念出：张毅、秦永敏、毛善春、刘家财、尹旭安。
姜俊良说，只要还有良心犯身处牢狱，只要还有人因为表达观点而失去自由，他们的抗议就不会停止。
下午的阳光下，中国驻洛杉矶总领事馆外，第803次茉莉花行动逐渐进入尾声。
从李语心关于自由与尊严的平静陈述，到王利剑短促而直接的抗议口号；从湖北人张磊讲述自己从恐惧沉默到公开发声的经历，到姜俊良一次次念出被关押者和维权人士的姓名，不同的声音最终汇聚到同一句现场口号：“荆楚不沉默，自由不可囚！”
活动结束前，姜俊良再次表达希望所有良心犯能够平安回家的愿望。
他说：“今天的声援集会到此告一段落，但我们的使命才刚刚开始。”
随后，第803次茉莉花行动在现场参与者的口号声中结束。

“Jingchu Will Not Remain Silent, Freedom Cannot Be Imprisoned”
— Los Angeles Holds the 803rd Jasmine Action in Solidarity with Hubei Prisoners of Conscience
Reported by Journalists Wang Fu and Zhang Zhijun from Los Angeles
At the event site, multiple participants took turns delivering speeches. Li Yuxin, Wang Lijian, Zhang Lei, Jiang Junliang, and others spoke out from various perspectives, including freedom of speech, the plight of political prisoners, personal experiences, and the significance of overseas resistance. Hosts Jiang Junliang and Zhang Lei repeatedly led the participants on site in chanting slogans, bringing the names of Hubei dissidents and human rights defenders—such as Zhang Yi, Qin Yongmin, Mao Shanchun, Liu Jiacai, Yin Xu’an, Wang Baolong, Liu Feiyue, Du Daobin, Liu Yanli, and Fang Bin—to the streets of Los Angeles.
“Political Prisoners, Prisoners of Conscience, and Human Rights Defenders in Hubei Must Not Be Forgotten”
After the rally began, Li Yuxin stepped forward to speak on site.
Instead of starting with fierce political slogans, she brought the topic to a more fundamental question—how a society should treat people who hold dissenting opinions.
Li Yuxin said:
“The true civilization of a society is not judged by how it treats those who agree with it, but by how it treats those who hold different opinions from the regime.”
She expressed that people can certainly disagree with or even criticize a person’s political views, but one cannot deprive a person of freedom simply because they expressed a dissenting opinion.
Li Yuxin then appealed to the outside world not to forget the political prisoners, prisoners of conscience, and human rights defenders of Hubei, and expressed hope that they could obtain basic legal guarantees, including rights such as attorney visits, family correspondence, and visitation.
She said that she hoped even more that one day people would no longer need to risk standing up to speak out for “political prisoners,” because when that day comes, “every Chinese person can speak freely, express their opinions freely, and defend their rights according to law.”
When her speech concluded, applause broke out at the venue.
Wang Lijian: “Release All Political Prisoners”
Wang Lijian, who spoke next, expressed his demands in a more direct manner.
His speech was extremely brief, without long-winded commentary, and instead he shouted continuously:
“Release all political prisoners. Release all prisoners of conscience.”
Subsequently, he shouted political slogans demanding that the Communist Party and Xi Jinping step down.
The terse slogans pushed the atmosphere at the venue into a more intense protest rhythm, bringing the most direct demand of the day’s rally—releasing political prisoners and prisoners of conscience—back to the center of the event once again.
Zhang Lei: Afraid to Speak Out at Home in the Past, Choosing to Stand Up Today
In his speech that day, Zhang Lei spoke more from his personal experiences.
On site, Zhang Lei introduced himself as a member of the China Democracy Party and also a native of Hubei.
He said that when he lived in China in the past, out of fear for his personal safety as well as fear that his family and friends would suffer suppression and implication, he had once been “afraid to stand up and speak out publicly.” After coming to the United States, he decided to change his past silence.
Zhang Lei said:
“Today, as I stand in this beacon nation, I am willing to muster up the courage to protest against the dictatorial regime and express the discontent in my heart toward the dictatorial regime.”
As a native of Hubei, Zhang Lei expressed that the ten Hubei political prisoners of conscience appearing on the poster that day were not all of them, and he specifically mentioned names such as Xiao Shichang and Xu Guangli.
Subsequently, he turned the topic to a question frequently faced in overseas democracy movement activities—does protesting in front of the Chinese consulate ultimately have any significance?
Zhang Lei said that people often ask him: “Every time you stand in front of the Chinese consulate and shout a few slogans, can you really shout the CCP out of power?”
His answer was:
“No, at least it is impossible for it to step down immediately just because we shout a few slogans.”
However, he immediately expressed that this cannot become a reason to stop taking action.
“If everyone chooses silence, chooses to give up, and chooses to believe that their voice has no meaning,” the ultimate result will be that more and more people grow accustomed to silence.
In Zhang Lei’s view, the true value of overseas protests lies not in whether a single rally can immediately change Chinese politics, but in allowing more people to hear different voices, so that the names of those who are imprisoned and unable to speak freely do not disappear.
He said:
“We stand up, not merely to shout slogans, but to allow more people to hear different voices, see the concealed truth, and begin to think independently.”
Zhang Lei also mentioned that he currently has only a little over one thousand followers on social media. He said that even if he can influence only a few dozen or a few hundred people, as long as someone gains more information and begins to judge independently because of it, then these actions will not have been entirely in vain.
“We stand here today, and perhaps our strength is still very small, but at least we did not choose silence,” he said.
Jiang Junliang: “Jingchu Will Not Remain Silent, Freedom Cannot Be Imprisoned”
The speech by Jiang Junliang, another main speaker and host that day, pushed the emotions at the site to a climax.
Standing in front of the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Los Angeles, Jiang Junliang first shouted the theme of the day’s event:
“Jingchu will not remain silent, freedom cannot be imprisoned!”
In his speech, he fiercely criticized the Chinese authorities for handling political dissidents under charges such as “inciting subversion of state power,” while denouncing practices including forced disappearances, secret detentions, and long-term imprisonments.
Jiang Junliang said that their presence in front of the consulate that day was precisely to ensure that the names of those who are detained continue to be heard by the outside world.
Subsequently, he called out their names on site one by one:
Zhang Yi, Qin Yongmin, Mao Shanchun, Liu Jiacai, Yin Xu’an, Wang Baolong, Liu Feiyue, Du Daobin, Liu Yanli, and Fang Bin.
When Yin Xu’an was named, the site directed its question straight at the Chinese authorities, asking: “Where is Yin Xu’an?”
According to statement by the organizers, Yin Xu’an hails from Daye, Hubei, and was intercepted under stability maintenance measures while traveling to Beijing to seek medical treatment, after which all trace of him was lost. Participants of the activity therefore demanded that relevant Chinese departments make his whereabouts public.
Jiang Junliang subsequently put forward three explicit demands for the day:
Immediately and unconditionally release Zhang Yi, Qin Yongmin, Mao Shanchun, and Liu Jiacai; immediately release Yin Xu’an’s whereabouts to the public; and immediately stop the persecution of political dissidents and rights defense citizens.
Name After Name Brought to the Streets of Los Angeles
As the event continued, hosts Jiang Junliang and Zhang Lei began to take turns introducing the Hubei figures supported by this rally.
The two first mentioned Zhang Yi. On-site speeches stated that Zhang Yi had participated in local democratic activities in Wuhan around 1989, and today has been detained once again.
Next was Qin Yongmin.
Zhang Lei stated at the scene that Qin Yongmin is a representative figure in Hubei’s democracy movement, and specifically spoke of his long-term prison experiences.
Jiang Junliang then introduced Mao Shanchun, with the organizers stating that he has long paid attention to human rights and rights defense affairs, and is currently serving a sentence.
Immediately after, the two once again shouted the names of Liu Jiacai and Yin Xu’an.
When talking about Yin Xu’an, Zhang Lei raised his voice and questioned:
“Yin Xu’an, where on earth are you?!”
Outside the consulate, name after name was read out continuously.
The organizers stated that through this approach, they hope to allow these people—who face restrictions, surveillance, detention, or are already finding it difficult to speak out publicly within China—to continue being seen by overseas society.
Figures such as Fang Bin, Liu Feiyue, and Du Daobin Also Became Targets of Solidarity
The individuals supported in this event were not limited to those still serving sentences.
The event site also mentioned Hubei democracy and human rights defenders such as Wang Baolong, Liu Feiyue, Du Daobin, Liu Yanli, and Fang Bin.
In his speech, Jiang Junliang spoke of Liu Feiyue founding “Civil Rights & Livelihood Watch” and long focusing on grassroots society and human rights issues in China; at the same time, he mentioned Du Daobin’s experience of expressing political views online during the early development of China’s internet.
Zhang Lei then spoke of Liu Yanli, as well as Fang Bin, who recorded local conditions through video during the Wuhan epidemic.
The event hosts believed that even if some individuals have already been released from prison, they may still face continuous political and social pressures, and therefore should likewise not be forgotten by the outside world.
From the Identity of Hubei Natives to Overseas Resistance
A relatively distinct feature at the venue that day was that “Hubei” appeared not merely as a geographical concept.
From “Jingchu” in the event’s theme to the names of Hubei dissidents repeatedly read aloud by speakers, and to Zhang Lei recounting his transformation as a Hubei native from “not daring to speak out publicly” to publicly protesting in front of the Los Angeles consulate, “Hubei” became a main thread connecting participants at the venue with the plight of political prisoners inside China.
For these activists living in the United States, they cannot directly alter those cases taking place in China, but they attempt to keep the names of the relevant individuals in the public eye through continuous rallies.
As Zhang Lei stated on site, a single protest cannot immediately change a regime.
However, he believed: “We cannot do nothing simply because it will not step down immediately.”
This sentence also served as a common footnote to the speeches of multiple participants that day.
“As Long As There Is Still One Prisoner of Conscience in Prison, We Will Not Stop”
As the event neared its conclusion, Jiang Junliang once again appealed to the international community to maintain continuous concern for the plight of Chinese political prisoners and prisoners of conscience.
Zhang Lei spoke out to dissidents residing in China, saying that they are “by no means isolated islands,” and that overseas activists will continue to focus on their situation.
The two once again read aloud: Zhang Yi, Qin Yongmin, Mao Shanchun, Liu Jiacai, and Yin Xu’an.
Jiang Junliang said that as long as there are still prisoners of conscience in prison, and as long as there are people who lose their freedom because of expressing their views, their protest will not stop.
Under the afternoon sun, outside the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Los Angeles, the 803rd Jasmine Action gradually drew to a close.
From Li Yuxin’s calm statements on freedom and dignity, to Wang Lijian’s terse and direct protest slogans; from Hubei native Zhang Lei recounting his experience from fearful silence to speaking out publicly, to Jiang Junliang reading aloud time and again the names of detainees and rights defense activists, different voices ultimately converged into the same slogan on site: “Jingchu will not remain silent, freedom cannot be imprisoned!”
Before the event ended, Jiang Junliang once more expressed the hope that all prisoners of conscience can return home safely.
He said: “Today’s solidarity rally ends here, but our mission has just begun.”
Subsequently, the 803rd Jasmine Action concluded amidst the shouting of slogans by the participants on site.
