Authorities in the central Chinese province of Henan have detained an activist who uploaded a photo of himself ripping up a copy of Chairman Mao's portrait, as security continues to tighten around the country ahead of a crucial leadership transition. AIDS activist Cao Xiaodong, who uploaded photos of himself and fellow activists ripping up pictures of late supreme leader Mao Zedong on Oct. 25, was taken away by police officers on Thursday evening, according to an eyewitness. "After the police arrived, they said they were carrying out widespread checks, and Cao Xiaodong had to show his ID card," said a woman identified only by her surname Wang. "Then the police told Cao Xiaodong he would have to go down to the police station with them, and they said that only men could go with him, and that he would have to have a blood test," she said. "After that I saw Cao Xiaodong getting into an unmarked car that wasn't a police car. It took him away." She said Cao had sent a text message to say he was being held in the Jingba Road police station. An officer who answered the phone at the station declined to comment, saying it was impossible to verify the RFA journalist's identity. The photo of Cao and his friends, Lin Qilei, Ji Laisong, and Wen Dao, ripping the pictures in half went viral on China's popular microblogging services, and users of Sina's Twitter-like services quickly identified them. The photo sparked a flood of similar photos in solidarity, and the word "tearing" is now being used as a pun for "18th Party Congress" in Chinese. Netizens have now launched a campaign to call police officers linked to Cao, to put pressure on the authorities to release him.
