3月4号，来自大陆各地的大批访民，趁中共两会召开时，聚集到中共国家信访局，申诉各自的冤屈，而北京警察则加紧在访民聚集的地方搜捕访民。
据《自由亚洲电台》援引访民李铁强的话介绍，当天国家信访局附近的几条胡同都挤满了人，估计人数有上万人。这些访民都是用各种手段，逃过警察的堵截，才到达现场的。
李铁强说，当时在现场，很多访民都在相互诉说如何逃避当地截访人员的经历。
报导说，北京大批警察围堵旅店、宾馆，搜捕到北京上访的访民。四川省近二百名出租车车主，藉两会进行期间到北京上访，遭数十警员围堵在酒店内。三十名到京申冤的湖北访民，入住宾馆后旋即遭北京警方强行带走。
人权网吁美国签证制裁 中共酷吏
在中共人大和政协两会召开的同时，设在美国的《中国酷吏举报网》从3月3号起，在网上发布致美国驻华大使骆家辉的中英文呼吁信，要求美国对中国直接参与迫害异议、宗教和维权人士、践踏人权的官员，进行拒发赴美签证的“签证制裁”。
据网站介绍，《中国酷吏举报网》专门揭发和收录中国侵犯基本人权的官员、警察、法官以及公务员的名单、个人信息及其罪行。目前，这个网站已收录了近400名被认定犯有侵犯人权的中国“酷吏”名单。
呼吁书说，“希望美国使领馆在核发中国人签证申请的时候，参考《中国酷吏举报网》的名录，对有侵犯人权犯罪背景的签证申请人，实施严格明确的签证制裁。”
广东揭西护地抗争升级 倡民主选举
广东揭西棉湖镇上浦村村民土地维权事件持续发展，上周连续多天，数千村民反抗官商勾结非法征地，发生流血冲突，被警方封村一周。3月3号，村民又在村口打出“强烈要求合法民主选举”的横幅，呼吁用投票决定土地用途。
据当地村民介绍，中共两会召开，北京当局为了压制他们的抗争，派警察在村口把守。目前警方已经封锁了通往上浦村的主干道，京棉公路和其它路段，以阻止外人进入，特别是境外记者的涉入。同时，村民也因害怕黑帮报复和警察进村抓人，而在村口附近设置路障，把守路口，盘查进村的外来人。连日来，双方陷入对峙局面。

10,000 Petitioners Gather in Beijing
On March 4, large numbers of petitioners from all over China
gathered at the State Bureau for Letters and Complaints.
This is during the Two Sessions of the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The petitioners were expressing their grievances. Beijing
police stepped up to arrest petitioners as they gathered.
According to Radio Free Asia, petitioner Li Tieqiang
said that several lanes near the State Bureau for
Letters and Complaints were packed with people.
The estimated number of people was 10,000.
These petitioners had used a variety of means to escape
the police to intercept before they arrived at the scene.
Li Tieqiang said that at the scene, many petitioners were
talking about how they escaped local personnel blockades.
It is reported that a large number of police contained
hotels to search for petitioners coming to Beijing.
About 200 taxi drivers in Sichuan Province went to
Beijing to petition during the two sessions of CCP.
They were blocked in the hotel by dozens of policemen.
30 petitioners from Hubei Province were taken
away immediately after they checked into a hotel.
Call for Visa Punishment for Ruthless CCP Officials
It is currently the Two Sessions of the CCP,
the National People’s Congress and the CPPCC.
The US based Ruthless Officials Report Network
published an appeal letter online from March 3, written
by U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke in English and Chinese.
It asked the United States to deny visas to Chinese officials
who directly participated in the persecution of dissidents,
religious minorities, and human rights activists.
The Ruthless Officials Report Network website is dedicated
to exposing and archiving lists of officials, policemen and
judges who violate fundamental human rights in China.
It exposes their personal information and their crimes.
Currently, this site has a list of nearly 400 officials
who are accused of human rights violations.
The letter said, “I hope that when the U.S. Embassy and
Consulate evaluate the Chinese visa applications, they
can refer to the list of ‘cruel officials’ on our website.
For applicants with a criminal background in human rights
violations, they will implement strict and clear visa sanctions."
Land Disputes Intensify in Jiexi
Land rights protests involving villagers in Shangpu,
Jiexi, Guangdong Province, continue to develop.
Last week, thousands of villagers protested against the
collusion between businessmen and illegal land seizures.
The protests had bloody conflicts.
The police sealed the village for a week.
On March 3, villagers also displayed
a banner at the entrance to the village.
It read, “Strongly urge legitimate democratic elections",
and called for a vote to decide how the land was used.
According to local villagers, the CCP
Two Sessions were held in Beijing.
Beijing authorities sent police to guard the entrance
of the village in order to suppress their resistance.
Currently, the police have sealed off the main road
to Shangpu-Jingmian Road, as well as other sections.
This is to prevent outsiders from entering,
especially the involvement of foreign reporters.
Meanwhile, the villagers also feared gang retaliation and
that the police would come to arrest people in the village.
They set up roadblocks at the entrance and checked
visitors. Recently, two sides went into a confrontation.
