A 13-year-old girl in a county of southwest China’s Guizhou province was handcuffed by the police and “paraded” in public for 20 minutes before being taken away, reports Boxun, a Chinese-language citizen journalism website. A county secretary and a police officer involved allegedly have been suspended pending investigation.

According to a netizen’s report, the girl had spilled some Coke or water on a vehicle that belonged to the government of Kele county. She was handcuffed by the police, who were following orders from the Kele party secretary, surnamed Yuan. The girl reportedly was forced to walk on the street handcuffed for 20 minutes.Yuan told a reporter that the girl and her family had gotten into scuffles with the government before over their street stand. According to his details, the girl did not simply spill a drink on the car. She was handcuffed because she was large and the police were not aware of her being under 18. She was not made to parade around in the street, Yuan reiterated. All of this, he said, happened on March 30, not April 6.

Yuan said the girl splashed dirty water into the vehicle, which caused a deputy head of the county in the vehicle to get wet. The head got out of the vehicle and started to yell at the girl but was beaten by the girl and her family members. The party secretary came to deal with the mess and had a police officer take the girl and her family members away.

The county government published on its official website on May 27 that Yuan and a police officer involved have been suspended pending investigation.
