On May 15, a woman in Hengdong County, Hunan — believed to be a petitioner — posted six consecutive videos on Douyin pleading for help. She described having been subjected to prolonged organized harassment, with her phone and home network placed under surveillance, and said she was being forcibly transported to Changsha for a psychiatric assessment by local government personnel and staff from a Hengdong psychiatric hospital. Visibly terrified, she expressed fear that she would no longer be able to care for her daughter and that she would be subjected to sexual violence while institutionalized, stating that if she were declared mentally ill she would request euthanasia. The videos also show several men accompanying her, behaving aggressively. Her Douyin account was subsequently wiped and disappeared.
