2People across China continue [zh] to announce their candidacy in local district level People's Congress elections, but how far this new surge in civic consciousness can go remains uncertain.Mbola manohy [zh] ny fampielezan-kevitra ataon-dry zareo hilatsaka ho fidiana ao amin'ny Antenimieram-bahoaka ao an-toerana ny olona manerana an'i Shina, saingy mbola mitoetra ho manjavozavo ny hoe ho tonga hatraiza io fiaingàna vaovaon'ny fahatongavan-tsain'ny sivily io.
3The case of Liu Ping in Jiangxi province has drawn greater attention recently after Liu and fellow candidates Li Sihua and Wei Zhongping were prevented, through various means, from standing in their local election in Xinyu last month.Nisarika ny sain'ny maro ny tranga niseho tamin'i Liu Ping tao amin'ny faritanin'i Jiangxi taoriana kelin'ny nanakànana an'i Liu sy ireo kandida roa Li Sihua sy Wei Zhongping, tamin'ny fomba isan-karazany, tsy ho kandidà tamin'ny fifidianam-paritra tao Xinyu ny volana lasa teo.

5On June 16, I made calls to the provincial, city and district People's Congress election departments and asked each of them for an urgent opinion regarding my eligibility as a preliminary candidate representative under National People's Congress legislation.Ny 16 Jona, niantso ireo sampan-draharaha misahana ny fifidianana izay ho ao amin'ny Antenimieram-Bahoaka ao amin'ny faritany, ny tanàna ary ny distrika isam-paritra aho ary nanontany azy ireo maika ny heviny momba ny mety ho fahalaniko na tsia amin' ny maha kandidà vao misandratra ahy ho eo amin'ny toeran'ny solontenan'ny Antenimieram-pirenena entim-bahoaka.
6Both the city and district offices emphasized that according to the provincial-level People's Congress, one cannot be nominated to be a candidate from a district other than that in which one is registered.Niara-nanamafy ny sampan-draharaha misahana ny tanàna sy ny distrika raha ny toeranaao amin'ny antenimieram-bahoaka dia tsy azo atao ny milatsaka ao amin'ny faritra tsy isoratan'ny tena.
7I was told by the provincial People's Congress elections joint working committee, however, that the National People's Congress does allow for out-of-district nominations, and that I should take it up with them.Nolazain'ny komity mpiara-mitantana ny fifidianana izay ho ao amin'ny Antenimiera ahy anefa, na izany aza, fa fa mamela ny firotsahan-ko fidiana any ivelan'ny faritra misy ny tena ny Antenimieram-pirenea entim-bahoaka, ary mila mijery ny momba izay miaraa amin-dry zareo aho.
8On the afternoon of June 17, the provincial People's Congress elections joint working committee called me back and said that they received my faxed appeal and, after a careful reading of my inquiry as to whether out-of-district candidate representative nominations are allowed for under existing National People's Congress legislation, they forwarded it to the Xinyu city People's Congress and told me to get in touch with them.Ny tolakandron'ny 17 Jona, niantso ahy indray ny komity mpiara-mitantana ny fifidianana ka nilaza fa voarainy ny fampakarana nalefako “fax” ary, taorian'ny fandinihana tsara ireo fangatahako ho kandidà ivelan'ny faritra ho solontena ao amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena entim-bahoaka, dia nalefan'izy ireo ho any amin'ny kongresy ao an-tanànan'i Xinyu izany ary nilazany aho mba hifandray any indray.
9Director Yi of the Xinyu city People's Congress elections said that he had received the approving legal interpretation from the provincial People's Congress and that it would be upheld accordingly.Ny tale Yi avy ao Xinyu amin'ny departemanta misahana ny fifidianana izay ho ao amin'ny antenimieram-bahoaka nilaza fa voarainy ny dikany araka ny lalàna avy amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena entim-bahoaka isam-paritra ary ho ekena araka izany.
10On June 17, after the instructions from the provincial People's Congress had been received, Tongzhou Party Secretary and CCP-nominated candidate, Xie Qi, personally set out with several others over to Xihe Village, to investigate the so-called “truth” behind my “nomination”.Ny 17 Jona, taorian'ny fahazoana ny toromarika avy amin'ny Antenimieram-bahoaka ao amin'ny faritra, ny Sekreteran'ny antoko ao Tongzhou sy ilay kandidà napetraky ny CCP-, Xie Qi, izy tenany mihitsy no nandeha tany amin'ny tanànan'i Xihe niaraka tamin'ny olona maro, hanadihady ny lzaina fa “fahamarinana” ao ambadiky ny “fametrahana ahy”.
11He went and got some Party and village cadres and other political actors to sign a letter to prove that I had an ulterior motive-not of partaking in the election to fight for the land rights of the villagers, but rather to see my own case of injustice be overturned.Ireo lohandohan'ny antoko sy mpandray anjara politika vitsisitsy ihany no azon'izy ireo nampanaovina sonia ilay taratasy manamarina fa ny zavatra kendreko voalohany dia tsy ny hilatsaka ho fidiana hiady ho an'ny zon'ny vahoaka amin'ny taniny, fa kosa ny hamaly faty ny tsy rariny nahazo ny tenako.
12In other words, is he saying that people can be exonerated from unjust charges only if they've been chosen as a People's Congress representative?Amin'ny filaza hafa, miteny ve izy fa azon'ny olona atao ny hahazo fanonerana noho ny tsy rariny natao azy raha voafidy ho solontena ao aminn'ny Antenimieram-pirenena entim-bahoaka fotsiny izy ireo?
13See the China Elections and Governance blog for details on how Liu, Li and Wei were beaten and treated by authorities prior to being disqualified from the election.Jereo ao amin'ny bilaogin'ny Fifidianana tao Shina sy ny Fitantanana ny andinindinin'ny fomba nidarohana an'i Liu, Li ary Wei sy ny nataon'ny manam-pahefana azy ireo nialohan'ny nanesorana azy ireo tsy ho ao anatin'ny fifidianana.
14Late last month, Liu Ping's Hubei-based lawyer, Wu Yuanshu, went with her to Xinyu to investigate the handling of the election and Liu's subsequent treatment.Ny faran'ny volana lasa teo, Wu Yuanshu, ilay mpisolovava an'i Liu Ping, monina ao Hubei, dia niaraka taminy ho any Xinyu hanadihady ny fomba fandrindràna ny fifidianana ary ny nanaovana an'i Liu tamin'io fotoana io.
15Wu wrote [zh]:Wu nanoratra [zh] hoe:
16July 4 - Today I went with Liu Ping and Li Sihua to the Tonzhou Xihe management office in Yushui, Li's electoral district in Xinyu city, to see the results of the election and see if we could get some answers about Liu Ping being roughed up and having her cellphone snatched from her, as well as interference with the election through the beating of Wei Zhongping.Ny 4 Jolay - Androany aho nandeha niaraka tamin'i Liu Ping sy Li Sihua tany amin'ny biraon'i Tonzhou Xihue tao Yushui, ao anatin'ny distrikam-pifidianan'i Li ao amin'ny tanànan'i Xinyu, hijery ny valim-pifidianana sy hitady valiny amin'ilay vono nahazo an'i Liu Ping ary ny halatra finday natao azy, sy ny fanelingelenan'i Wei Zhongping ny fizotry ny fifidianana.
17At the entrance to the management office, both Liu Ping and I were struck by office cadres there and my mobile phone and video camera were snatched and smashed.Raha vao niditra ilay birao izahay sy Liu Ping dia novonoin'ireo tompon'andraikitry ny birao ary ny findaiko sy ny fankan-tsariko nosintona sy namotika.
18Officer Sheng Qinghui (#050618) at the police station on Baoshiu Rd. told Liu Ping off, saying that the state gave him the authority to tell her what to do, and not vice-versa.Ilay polisy Sheng Qinghui (#050618) avy ao amin'ny komisaria an'i Baoshiu Road nandroaka an'i Liu Ping, nilaza fa nomen'ny fanjakana alalana izy hibaiko an'i Liu, fa tsy ny mifanohitra amin'izay.
19He said we had no right to photograph him.Hoy izy hoe tsy manana alàlana haka sary azy izahay.
20I argued back that the law gives us the right to supervise your authority, that you don't have the right to refuse that, and I do have the right to take your photograph.Namaly aho hoe nomen'ny fanjakana alàlana izahay hanara-maso fahefanao, ary tsy afaka ny handà izany ianao, ary manan-jo ny haka sary anao aho.
21July 5 - At around 8:30 yesterday morning, Liu Ping, Li Sihua and I went to see the election results.Ny 5 Jolay - omaly maraina tokony ho tamin'ny 8:30 teo ho eo, nandeha nijery ny valim-pifidianana i Liu Ping, Li Sihua ary izaho .
22As we reached the door, before we'd seen the results, those guys came over to snatch away my cellphone.Raha iny izahay hiditra ny varavarana iny, mbola tsy nahita ilay valiny akory, nisy olona maro nisintona ny findaiko.
23I resisted like hell and was hurt by the Xihe office cadres, and my cellphone got smashed up in the process.Tsy navelako izy ireo fa nanohitra aho ka noratrain'ny mpiasan'ny Xihe, ary potika tamin'izany ny findaiko.
24Also destroyed were the audio recordings from hundreds of locals there.Simba tamin'izany koa ny tahirim-peo misy ny fijoroan'olona an-jatony vavolombelona.
25The video camera got thrown up on the roof and the case papers were strewn all over the ground.Natsipiny teny amin'ny tafotrano ilay fakan-tsary ary nikorontana tamin'ny tany ireo antontan-taratasy.
26Inside the Xihe office, those guys said that we didn't have their permission to take their photos, that we violated their portrait rights.Tao anatin'ny biraon'i Xihe, niteny izy ireo hoe tsy nahzo alàlana avy aminy isika haka sary azy ireo , ary nohitsakitsahantsika ny zon'izy ireo ara-tsary.
27I said I didn't need their permission.Hoy aho hoe tsy mila ny fanomezan-dàlan-dry zareo aho.
28One office said, you're lawyers, and you knowingly break the law? If you take someone's photo without their permission, he said, you're violating their portrait rights.Ary hoy ilay mpiasa iray, “mpisolovava ianareo , nefa minia mandika lalàna? raha maka sary olona iray tsy nahazo alàlana ianareo, hoy izy, manitsaka ny zony ianareo izany.
29Violation of portrait rights refers to commercial law, I said: Given that you've hit us and this is hard evidence of that, are you seriously saying that we're violating your portrait rights?
30With the video camera still up on the roof, I demanded we be able to take photos as evidence.
31The officer refused, and so I refused to leave. The officer gave up and let us take our photos, so I took photos of the officers and their cars[…]Ny fanitsahana ny zo ara-tsary dia amin'ny resaka lalàna ara-barotra, hoy aho: Hita izao fa novonoinareo izahay ary voaporofo mazava be ny amin'izany, tena matotra ve ny filazanareo fa nanitsaka ny zonareo ara-tsary izahay ?”
32I took a taxi back to Xinyu and chatted with the driver on the way.Nandeha fiarakaretsaka aho nody tany Xinyu ary niresaka tamin'ilay mpamily mandra-pahatonga tany.
33I asked if he'd heard of Liu Ping.Nanontany azy aho raha fa naheno momba an'i Liu Ping izy.
34The driver said he hadn't.Hoy izy hoe tsia.
35I said the whole country knows Liu Ping, a candidate to be a People's Congress representative, how could you not know?Hoy aho hoe ny eran'ny firenena mahafantatra an'i Liu Ping daholo, ilay kandidà, ho solontena ao amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena entim-bahoaka, ahoana no tsy ahafantaranao azy?
36He thought for a minute, then said: oh right, I hear about her, a terrorist or something, wanted to blow up Xinyu's biggest shopping mall on the day of the election.Nieritreritra kely izy, ary nilaza hoe : oadray, marina izany, efa henoko, mpampihorohoro na tahaka izany, saika napoakany ilay fivarotana lehibe indrindra an'i Xinyu ny andron'ny fifidianana.
37The streets were full of armed police.Feno polisy mitam-piadiana ny arabe.
38I was stunned.Ketraka aho.
39Three days in Xinyu and I'm already hearing stories about terrorists.Telo andro fotsiny aho no tao Xinyu dia efa naheno izany resaka fampihorohoroana izany.
40After returning to Hubei on July 5, Wu wrote on his Weibo account that he would push the local Ministry of Justice to launch an official investigation, but also that he, along with Guangdong-based lawyer Li Zhiming and Zhejiang lawyer Wang Cheng, were seeking to gather other lawyers to travel to Xinyu and offer assistance to the three former candidates.Taorian'ny niverenana tao Hubei ny 5 Jolay, nanoratra i Wu tao amin'ny kaontiny Weibo fa hanosika ny ministeran'ny fitsarana hanao fanadihadiana lalina, ary koa hitady miaraka amin'ny mpisolovavan'i Li Zhiming ao Guangdong sy ny an'i Zhejiang Wang Cheng, hamory mpisolovava hafa handeha ho any Xinyu mba hanampy ireo kandida telo hafa teo aloha.
41Then, Wu was called out for tea the following day, and told [zh] to cease his efforts to organize lawyers to investigate the People's Congress election held recently in Xinyu.Ny ampitson'io Wu dia voaasa taminà fiaraha-misotro dite ary nilazàna [zh] fa tokony hajanony io fihezahany hanangona mpisolovava hanao fanadihadiana ny fifidianana ny ho ao amin'ny Antenimieram-bahoaka vao avy natao tao Xinyu io.
42A Weibo group for that purpose set up by electoral democracy enthusiast and Wu's fellow lawyer, Wang Cheng, however, remains active.Vondrona iray ao amin'ny Weibo natsangan'ireo mpandàla ny fifidianana ara-demaokratika tarihan'ny naman'ilay mpisolovava an'i Wu, Wang Cheng, nefa no mbola tena miasa be ho amin'io tanjona io.
43Meanwhile, some Chinese media continue to write about the growing interest in district-level legislative elections: Caijing recently published two well-circulated pieces, ‘The difficult question of whether independent candidates are able to resolve social tensions‘ and ‘Perspective on the citizen candidate trend‘.Mandritra izany, ny sasany amin'ireo fampielezam-baovao Sinoa dia manohy manoratra momba ilay resabe tsy mitsaha-mitombo momba ny fifidianana izay ho mpikambana ao amin'ny antenimeran'ny distrika: Tsy ela akory izay, nandefa matoan-dahatsoratra roa be mpamaky i Caijing , ‘ Ny fanontaniana tena sarotra mikasika ny fahaiza-manaon'ny kandidà tsy miankina mba hanenàna ny fifandirana ara-tsosialy‘ ary ny ‘fomba fahitana ny fiakaran'ireo kandidà olon-tsotra‘.
44Also worth a read is this lengthy article from The World and China Institute‘s Chinese electoral system reform research group, ‘Everywhere, independent candidates to be People's Congress representatives eagerly appear‘ ‘New Trend of Chinese Citizens Running for Local People's Congress‘.Matoan-dahatsoratra lava be iray avy amin'ny The World and China Institute vondrom-pikarohana iray momba ny rafi-pifidianana, ‘‘N'aiza n'aiza, maro ireo kandidà tsy miankina maniry mafy ny ho lasa solontena ao amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena Entim-bahoaka‘.
