【中国观察2020年12月20日讯】12月16日早上9点，纽约时报摄影记者、纪录片制作人、作家杜斌失联，当晚9时许，杜斌的妹妹杜继荣接到警方电话告知，杜斌已被北京大兴分局孙村派出所拘留，关押在大兴区拘留所。家属至今未收到拘留通知书。
杜斌的妹妹杜继荣：“他现在被那个大兴那边一个公安分局拘留了，没有具体的原因，就说是寻衅滋事，以这个罪名被拘留了，因为他没有通行证，他是一直待在家里的，没有出来过，他最近都没有做什么敏感的事情。”
有社会人士分析，这些都是中共持续打压言论自由的手段。
据《维权网》报导，今年警方曾多次找杜斌问话，称奉国保之命，要他删除推特上的推文。杜斌的朋友、北京维权人士胡佳表示，因为疫情的关系已经一年多没跟杜斌见面，昨天得知他被抓的消息。
胡佳：“他之前被传唤过，没想到这次真正对他采取了强制措施，杜斌以前也曾经被当局刑事拘留过，这一次他具体是因为，比如说在网上发表哪些言论，或者写了什么书的话，这还有待于说聘请律师之后，律师在看守所会见他，才能够得出准确的一些结论。”
杜斌今年48岁，是前《纽约时报》北京分社摄影记者，曾出版《牙刷》、《天安门屠杀》、《马三家咆哮》、《上访者》、《长春饿殍战》等书籍。
2013年拍摄纪录片《小鬼头上的女人》揭发马三家劳教所的酷刑，同年“六四”24周年纪念日前夕遭秘密逮捕。
On December 16, former New York Times photojournalist and writer Du Bin was detained by Beijing police on suspicion of provoking trouble and is now being held at the Daxing District Detention Center in Beijing, and his family says they have not received a detention notice yet and are calling for social concern.
At 9:00 a.m. on December 16, New York Times photojournalist, documentary filmmaker and writer Du Bin was lost. At 9:00 p.m. that night, Du Bin's sister Du Jirong received a phone call from the police informing her that Du Bin had been detained by the Sun Village Police Station of Beijing Daxing Branch and was being held in the Daxing District Detention Center. Family members have not received the detention notice.
Du Bin's sister Du Jirong: "He is now detained by that Daxing side of a public security bureau, no specific reason, it is said to provoke trouble, to this charge was detained, because he does not have a pass, he has been staying at home, did not come out, he has not done anything sensitive recently."
Some community members have analyzed these as a means of the CCP's continued crackdown on freedom of expression.
According to Rights Defense Network, police have repeatedly approached Du Bin for questioning this year, saying they were under orders from the state security to delete his tweets from Twitter. Hu Jia, a friend of Du Bin's and a Beijing-based rights activist, said he had not met with Du Bin for more than a year because of the epidemic and learned yesterday that he had been arrested.
Hu Jia: "He had been summoned before, but I didn't expect him to take coercive measures this time, Du Bin had been criminally detained by the authorities before, and this time he was specifically arrested because, for example, what statements were made online, or what books were written, which is yet to be hired after the lawyer met him in the detention center, to be able to draw some accurate conclusions. "
Du Bin, 48, is a former New York Times Beijing bureau photojournalist who has published books such as "Toothbrush," "Tiananmen Massacre," "Ma Sanjia Roar," "Petitioner" and "Changchun Starvation War.
He was secretly arrested on the eve of the 24th anniversary of June 4 in 2013 after filming the documentary "The Woman on the Kid's Head" to expose the torture in Ma Sanjia Labor Camp.
