北京刑事辩护律师, December 4, 2013
今天是“法制宣传日”，也是江西新余刘萍、魏忠平、李思华三人涉嫌“非法集会罪”一案第二次开庭审理的第二天。在大批警察警戒的法院门口，律师、被告人家属遭到谩骂和推搡。民众表示：警戒线内遭到不明身份者围攻，这是有组织犯罪啊！法院是赤裸裸的流氓。“法制宣传日”成为莫大的讽刺。

浦志强：12月4日是中国宪法日，但我们在新余很不顺利。这么多年了，对法庭怎么样，法庭内外如何维稳，我有经验，对庭外鼓噪却初次见识。两百来位工人模样的群众，诅咒我“流氓律师”、“汉奸律师”、“卖国律师”和“中华民族的败类”，被他们在大批特警眼皮底下推搡拉扯谩骂，我实在百感交集。
