当前,群众集体上访问题较为突出,且形式多样,呈上升态势。从宜城市调查的情况看,有三个突出特点:一是因信访问题处理不及时而引发的群体性和突发性事件增多。特别是近年来,此类事件上升较快;二是集体上访和越级上访人数增多。群众集体上访少则几十人,多则上百人。仅去年12月以来,就发生了9起赴襄樊市集体上访事件。三是过激性上访行为增多。在宜城市先后数次出现群众围堵政府机关、拦截领导车辆、堵塞楼梯通道,甚至限制领导人身自由等过激事件,在社会上造成了极为恶劣的影响。 At present, the issue of mass collective petition is more prominent and diversified in form and in a rising trend. Judging from the situation of Yicheng City Survey, there are three salient features: First, there is an increase in group and unexpected incidents caused by the failure to deal with letters and visits in a timely manner. In recent years, in particular, such incidents have risen rapidly; secondly, there has been an increase in the number of petitions for group petitions and vCB petitions. Groups dozens of collective petitions, as many as hundreds. Since last December alone, there have been 9 collective petitions for going to Xiangfan City. Third, there has been an increase in over-petitioning petitions. In the cities of Yicheng, there have been numerous cases of over siege by government agencies, the interception of leading vehicles, the blockage of stairways, and even the overriding restrictions on the freedom of leaders, which have caused extremely bad social effects.
