中国环保志工张文斌遭跨省抓捕被刑事拘留

中国知名环保志工张文斌于20日遭警方跨省抓捕，被从新疆乌鲁木齐押送至江西宜春万载县1。家属已确认他被刑事拘留，警方指控其涉嫌敲诈勒索1。根据家属接到的通知，张文斌至少需在拘留所待37天1。

张文斌长期从事污染调查工作，过去多次遭警方带走或遭遇暴力。2015年他在北京因拍摄排污口被北京警方带走1；2019年江苏响水化工区爆炸后，他因涉嫌"寻衅滋事"被带走调查，当天下午获释1；2023年他在山西吕梁斜沟煤矿调查时拍到黑色废水排放，与厂方人员冲突后遭毒打1。

Chinese environmental activist Zhang Wenbin was taken into custody on the 20th after being detained across provincial boundaries, with authorities transporting him from Urumqi in Xinjiang to Wanzai County in Yichun, Jiangxi Province 1. His family has confirmed his detention following police allegations that he is suspected of extortion and blackmail 1. According to notification received by his relatives, Zhang is required to remain in detention for at least 37 days 1.

Zhang has built a career investigating environmental pollution and has repeatedly encountered police interference. In 2015, he was taken away by Beijing police while documenting discharge outlets in the capital 1. Following an explosion at a chemical industrial zone in Xiangshui, Jiangsu Province in 2019, he was taken in for questioning on suspicion of "provoking trouble and making a disturbance," though he was released the same afternoon 1. Most recently, in 2023, while investigating the Xiegou coal mine in Lüliang, Shanxi Province, Zhang documented black wastewater being discharged and was beaten by factory personnel during the resulting confrontation 1.
