Chinese Woman missing, feared dead after live-streaming herself throwing ink on pictures of Xi Jinping

Excerpts from the article -

The disappearance of a 29-year-old woman in Shanghai has sparked an online campaign, with social media users sharing defaced public images of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Dong Yaoqiong disappeared on 4 July after a video of her throwing black ink on a poster of the Chinese leader went viral.

Ms Dong was last seen live-streaming a video of herself defacing a public poster.

Before disappearing, Ms Dong reportedly tweeted an image of three men outside her home.

“From her last tweet you can see through the peephole one plainclothes police and two uniformed police at her door,” [artist] Hua Yong claimed.

“One hour later she was unreachable through her phone or Twitter. Soon after her tweets were deleted, then her account disappeared. Then I posted a tweet telling people to pay attention to what’s happening to her. I assume she no longer has her freedom.”

Patrick Poon, a representative from Amnesty International’s Hong Kong office, said Ms Dong’s treatment is typical of China’s treatment of activists and dissidents.

“For China, they don’t want to see their citizens criticise its state leader in such a manner. They would use every means to crack down on any freedom of expression in such areas.”

She's 29 in that picture? Looks like a teenager.
