“Why aren’t you wearing a mask?”… 20-year-old woman kneeling with hands and feet bound by quarantine officers

In China, there is a controversial case of two women who tied their hands and feet and knelt down in front of citizens for not wearing a mask.

According to foreign media such as Hong Kong 01 on the 19th, on the morning of the 18th, two women in their 20s clashed with 5 or 6 quarantine officers in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.

Quarantine officers bound the two women’s hands and feet with cable ties and knelt down in front of them. One woman resisted with her whole body, but she was not able to resist with her own strength and eventually she fell to the ground and was overwhelmed. A citizen who witnessed the situation posted videos and photos on the Internet and circulated them.

Posts by those believed to be the woman in question have been made on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter.

The two explained that they went out to get the same day delivery and clashed with quarantine officials because one lost a mask.

Netizens who saw this fiercely criticized the quarantine officer’s violent behavior.

“They should reveal how the quarantine officers tied up the women”, “There is no sense of the law”, “They can tie up your family next time”, followed one after another.

As the dispute spread, the public security authorities in Haizhu District also began to evolve.

Via Weibo, the company explained: “One of the women was not wearing a mask and both tried to force entry to the quarantine check even though they had not successfully performed nucleic acid tests since the 30th of last month.”

She said: “The field quarantine officer persuaded me several times, but the women refused to cooperate, cursing the staff and disrupting the order.”
