Please Save My son Tian Xi
Open Letter of Tian Xi’ father writing to UNAIDS China Office

country coordinator Mr. Mark

Dear Mr. Mark Stirling,

I hope you are all well.

I come from Xincai County of Henan Province, I am a father of 23-year-old Chinese AIDS activist Tian Xi.

We are an ordinary family, and in the beginning of 1987, we had a son, we call him Tian Xi, he is 23 years old this year. At the age of 9, Tian Xi received treatment from Xincai County First People’s Hospital, and received blood transfusion. When he was 17, he was diagnosed with AIDS patients, also infected with hepatitis B, hepatitis C. This is a serious blow, my wife suffers from mental illness, my family also carries too heavy to misfortune and disaster.

In these years, Tian Xi attempted to consult with Xincai County First People’s Hospital, appeal to the central authorities for help, litigation for compensation to reduce the burden of the family.

Despite suffering cold-shoulder and rejection, knocked our hopes without number, but for our two elderly people, Tian Xi chooses to bear all the pain by himself.

On July 23, 2010, Xincai county Party committee secretaries Jia Guoyin send a message to Tianxi and invited my son to come back and make a negotiated settlement of compensation. Tian Xi went to Party committee secretaries’ office several times and did not to see Jia Guoyin. When Tian Xi had run out of his drugs, he went to Xincai County First People’s Hospital and wanted to solve the problem with the director of hospital. The director did not pay any attention. In the end Tian Xi could not bear it, in a moment of anger, he dropped teacup and some office supplies.

Subsequently, the greater misfortune comes one after another:

On August 6th, the public security bureau of Xincai County took away Tian Xi, and issued a notice 15 days of administrative detention;

On August 7th, Tian Xi was released, they issued a notice of suspension of administrative detention;

On August 17th, 20 police officers took away Tian Xi to Xincai County First People’s Hospital, they said for the purpose of treat Tian Xi’s illness, then 8 police officers and neighborhood committee workers took charge of Tianxi in turn, until August 19th, Tianxi has been controlled in a long-abandoned ward for 3 days;

In August 19th afternoon, I hasn’t been told, and the neighborhood committee workers took my wife to private clinic, and brought into the unknown drugs to my wife, then she went into a coma, and the police took away Tianxi;

On August 21st, we received a notice from Xincai County police, and said that administrative detention has been transferred to criminal detention from August 18th, and Tianxi has been send to Shangcai County detention house No. 211;

On August 21st, Tianxi’s mother and aunt went to Shangcai County detention house, asked to interview Tianxi, but was refused;

On August 23rd, Tianxi was been arrested by Xincai County police, he suspected of being involved maliciously defacing property;

On August 25th, Tianxi has been prosecuted by the public prosecutor.

Mr. Mark, please take a look at this “centralized police force”, this “quick and effective handling case,” this is corresponding to the two documents circulated on the Internet (“package case, stability control” documents). Tianxi is our son, he is a victim, his misfortune is resulting from Henan Province blood curse in the last century 90’s, and “package case, stability control” is aggravated his misfortune and suffering of our family !

Mr. Mark, I know you have three children, and is also a kind of father you are, I believe you can understand the pain in my heart!

My son are innocent, please help my child Tian Xi. Please appeal to stop Xincai County police abusing authority and stop pressure. Please appeal to give my son a fair compensation, and we ask for offering an apology to my family from them who are abusing authority.

We are ordinary people, we call for justice, we are looking forward my son come home safely as soon as possible.

Finally, bless your family away from the misery and suffering.

Regards,

Tianxi’s father: Tian Demin
