History
The Congressional-Executive Commission on China included Jiang Yanchun (姜艳春), a 46 year old native of Huarong District, Ezhou, in their Political Prisoner Database from November 5, 2017.[4] Jiang was a petitioner who was contesting demolition and resettlement in Jiang'an District when she was detained in Beijing at around 4 PM on Sunday, November 13, 2016 for disrupting order in the Tian'anmen area.[5] She was returned to Wuhan on November 14, 2016 where she was detained for ten days and then detained again for most of December for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble", which was seen as an arbitrary detention. She was released on bail on December 29, 2016.[4][6]
