| Netizens Demand Transparency as #JusticeForYuMenglong Trends Worldwide |
The tragic passing of Chinese actor Yu Menglong continues to spark intense discussion online, with fans and supporters across the globe demanding answers. What began as grief has turned into a powerful movement calling for transparency and justice.
A petition titled “Justice for Yu Menglong”, launched on the global advocacy platform AVAAZ, has already gathered more than 420,000 signatures from people around the world.
The campaign urges a fair, independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the actor’s death — something many feel hasn’t yet been properly addressed.
Despite local authorities quickly dismissing any criminal involvement, the public remains unconvinced.
Online, users continue to question inconsistencies and gaps in the official version, with many expressing frustration over what they view as a rushed conclusion and widespread content suppression.
Organisers of the petition released a statement stressing that Yu Menglong’s case represents more than just one individual’s tragedy.
They argue it reflects deeper concerns about safety, workplace culture, and accountability in China’s entertainment industry.
In their message, the team also referenced alleged online audio clips said to capture Alan Yu’s cries during an assault, saying there’s “reasonable suspicion” that the incident was not an accident nor self-inflicted.
The campaign demands full disclosure and urges the authorities to reopen the case with independent oversight.
“Justice won’t arrive by itself — it has to be fought for together,” the petition’s organisers wrote.
They’re also calling for international human rights bodies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to observe and ensure fairness in the process.
Across platforms like Weibo, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, the #JusticeForYuMenglong hashtag remains highly visible.
Fans are leaving heartfelt messages, tributes, and open letters, insisting the truth must be heard.
For many, this isn’t just about seeking answers — it’s about setting a precedent.
The growing petition has become a symbol of unity among global fans and citizens who believe that transparency, dignity, and justice should be universal values, no matter where the incident happened or who it involved.
As signatures continue to climb, the message remains clear: people aren’t ready to move on until the truth comes to light.
