In recent days, "Chinese tourists have been brutally treated by Swiss civil servants" has attracted attention, according to the Voice of China report. According to media reports, on 2 September, Mr. Zeng, a Chinese tourist, arrived in Sweden with his parents in the early hours of the morning, and after being refused a break in the lobby of the hotel, he was brutally taken by the police to a cemetery farther away from the city. Sound of China learned that the investigation was still under way. Mr. Zeng's family have returned home.
Father was forcibly dragged out of the hotel and beaten by police
According to Zeng, he explained to the police about his parents' physical condition and showed the medicine he had taken. He also said he could leave, hoping that his parents would rest for a while. Not only did the police ignore it, but forced Mr. Tseng's father from his seat, dragged him out of the hotel and threw it on the floor. Mr. Zeng's father, suffering from cardio-cerebrovascular disease, became ill on the spot, confused and began to twitch. Local police watching the scene, has yet to give any humanitarian help.
Mr. Zeng's call for help attracted pedestrians, who accused the police of abominable behaviour and demanded assistance from the police. Soon, two live-armed police vehicles arrived. Police did not rescue but dispersed the crowd with guns and tried to seize Mr. Zeng's mobile phone, eventually forcibly carrying Mr. Zeng's family onto the police car. During this period, according to Mr. Zeng, the police also beat his mother and his vague father.
Left by the police in the graveyard, surrounded by dread terro
In the car, the police questioned whether Mr. Zeng was a refugee, whether he wanted to use violence and threatened to "send it to the forest and the beast". About half an hour later, the police car stopped at a dark intersection, and several armed policemen pushed the three out of the car and went away. Mr. Zeng discovered with his mobile phone that it was a cemetery dozens of kilometers away from downtown Stockholm. According to Mr. Zeng, the temperature was less than 10 degrees Celsius, the surrounding was horrible, and you could hear the roar of distant animals. The family could only sit around the cemetery to warm each other. After shaking for half an hour here, thanks to the help of passers-by, they were able to return to the city.

Subsequently, Mr. Zeng ordered the earliest flight ticket, want to return home immediately. At present, Mr. Zeng's family has returned to China.
The hotel is "more than a youth hostel"
The editor last night looked up information about the hotel on the international hotel platform booking, the Stockholm Creator Hostel, which can also be translated as a generator hotel. The hotel is located on North Island, one of Stockholm's popular areas. Six minutes walk from Shopping Street and 10 minutes walk from Stockholm Central train Station.
Global Network reporter field visit found that the incident hotel is an 8-story building. The lobby of the hotel does not look small and crowded, and there is a sofa seat. It can be judged that the inability to stay is clearly not what some Chinese in Sweden call "nowhere," but not in conformity with the rules. The name of the hotel does mean "youth hostel". But there are three check-in staff on the first floor of the hotel, and this is by no means the size of a small hostel in a tight-staffed Nordic region. The hotel website also calls itself, "We are more than a youth hostel." In fact, this hotel does go to some three or four star hotels in Sweden.
Hotel prices range from 136yuan to 2276 yuan, and there has been a poor attitude towards customer comment service
The hotel offers a single room with bathroom, a double room, a four-person room, and a separate six-room bed, according to the on-duty editor's search booking website. The price per night ranges from the cheapest RMB 136 yuan, which is one of the rooms for six people; to the most expensive RMB 2276 yuan, a double queen room with private bathrooms. The hotel's reservation notes indicate that the check-out time is before 10:00 after 14:00. Out of 9997 customer reviews, the hotel scored an average of 8. 3 out of 10 points. Among them, the average score of one item of employee quality is 8.2 points.
In a selection of top reviews by real guests who stayed at the hotel, a review from Uruguay, published on August 31 this year, said: "the receptionist is indifferent and has a poor attitude, scoring only 7.9 points." The Stockholm Creator Hotel replied, "I'm sorry to see you had an unpleasant experience at our hotel and scored below average. I hope you'll give us another chance next time. March 7, A customer from China's TW commented in traditional Chinese: the women's service clerk at the bar has a poor attitude. But apparently the hotel staff couldn't read the traditional Chinese characters, and replied, "We're glad you like it here. Thank you for your comments."
The graveyard has a World Heritage logo.
The editor on duty also found out about the so-called "cemeteries", known as woodland cemeteries, to which three people were sent. The cemetery, which began construction in 1917, is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Woodland Cemetery is about 6 km away from the palace in the heart of Stockholm and 8 km away from the hotel. At the same time, the woodland cemetery is also a stop on the Stockholm Metro Green Line.
According to the current online video, Mr. Tseng and his family's luggage was stacked in front of the hotel on the same day, and his mother was sitting on the floor next to him crying for "help." When Swedish police carried his father out of the hotel, Mr. Zeng shouted, "it's in murder."
The case was investigated by a special investigation department independent of the local police station
According to the official website of the Swedish National Police Directorate, the special investigation department is similar to the police inspector we are familiar with, and when a member of the Swedish police or the National Security Service is suspected of committing a crime, it is decided by the special prosecutor that the special investigation department will intervene. The special investigation department operates independently of the local police and ensures the independence and integrity of the investigation. If the prosecutor thinks there is insufficient evidence, the investigation will be suspended. According to the latest information from Voice of China, the case is still under investigation.

Chinese Embassy in Sweden: repeated representations of Yan Zheng to Switzerland
After the incident, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in Sweden are highly concerned. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism is also highly concerned about the safety and legal rights and interests of Chinese tourists in Sweden, asking the relevant overseas tourism offices to know the situation immediately and cooperating with our embassy in Sweden to urge the relevant authorities to find out the truth of the incident as soon as possible.
Zhang Lei, director of the consular department of the Chinese Embassy in Sweden, said in an interview with Voice of China that they had repeatedly made representations to the Swiss side about Yan Zheng, but so far Sweden has not given any positive response.
Zhang Lei: "We have been trying to understand the situation follow-up, at present we have the information is also from our applicants." Because we've been trying to talk to the Swiss side and ask him to give an account, to give a statement, but so far they haven't given a positive response.
Recently, Chinese tourists have been robbed and robbed in Sweden.
Zhang Lei said: in the early hours of September 2, Swedish police brutally treated three Chinese tourists in Stockholm, and the Chinese Embassy in Sweden was deeply shocked and outraged at this. Strongly condemned the actions of the Swedish police: "the Embassy and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs have lodged representations with Yan Zheng to Sweden's government in Stockholm and Beijing successively, Emphasizing that the above-mentioned acts by the Swedish police have seriously violated the safety of life and basic human rights of China's citizen, the Swedish government is requested to conduct an immediate thorough investigation into the incident and to respond promptly to the demands of severe punishment, apology and compensation put forward by the Chinese citizen in question. We are deeply puzzled by the fact that the Swiss side has not taken the initiative to give China feedback on the matter so far and hope to act in accordance with the law, and once again urge the Swiss side to take immediate action to ensure the security and legitimate rights and interests of citizen in Switzerland and China. Also want to take this opportunity to remind the audience and Chinese tourists that Chinese tourists have recently been robbed of the situation in Sweden, suffered property damage and safety threat. The Chinese Embassy in Sweden attaches great importance to the safety and legal rights and interests of Sweden in China's citizen in Switzerland, and hopes that China's citizen must enhance its security consciousness and guard against it. In the event of an emergency, please remain calm and, on the premise of ensuring your safety, keep the evidence to the police as soon as possible and seek assistance from the Embassy or Consulate. "
It is suggested that cultural differences should be taken into account in tourism, and the elderly are not suitable for poor travel.

Yesterday, the news on social media also triggered heated netizens. Some netizens accused the Swedish police of rough law enforcement, also said that the tourist itinerary is not proper. Here, we also remind you that traveling abroad is not as easy as traveling at home. After all, there are some obstacles to cultural and linguistic communication. Therefore, in order to avoid the recurrence of such events, it is suggested that when making strategies, we must take cultural differences into account, do not take it for granted, plan various itinerary arrangements in great detail, and it is best to plan the itinerary seamlessly. Especially do not like this time Mr. Zeng family has a one-night accommodation empty arrangement. At the same time, the elderly are not suitable for poor travel, with the elderly traveling together, or easy and comfortable itinerary, accommodation especially to be properly arranged.
