The Murder of 31-Year-Old Dr. Shao Hui from Jilin Province Known After Over 2 Years
(Clearwisdom.net) Dr. Shao Hui was a 31-year-old doctor at the Hongshi
Forestry Bureau, Huadian City, Jilin Province. The Jilin City Police Department
tortured him to death in 2002. They tried hard to cover up his death and conceal
the truth. For more than two years, they did not inform his family of his death.
Recently, Dr. Shao's family went to the police department to search for him and
learned half-truths about how he died. The Fengman Police Branch of Jilin City tried to evade its responsibility On August 21, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners in the No. 2 Geology Building,
Fengman District, Jilin City were arrested. In November 2004, Dr. Shao's family
became aware of another case of arrest, which they thought might lead to
information about what happened to him. The family went to Fengman District
Police Branch to inquire about the event. The head of the branch answered their question and said that in 2002, during
an attempt to arrest two Falun Gong practitioners in the No. 2 Geology Building,
one died in the room and another practitioner was disabled when he jumped from
the seventh floor. When asked whether they knew who had died, the head of the branch said they
did not know. On further questioning, he said that he was not clear about the
case and they should ask Chen Dongfeng, the head of the National Security Branch
of the Jilin City Police Department (610 Office), who was in charge
of the case, and that the Fengman Police Branch was just cooperating with them.
The head of the police branch refused to answer any further questions. Later, Dr. Shao's family became aware that the Fengman Police Branch, in
fact, had all the information about the case stored in its computer. The Police from the National Security Branch of the Jilin City Police
Department tried to cover up their crimes When Dr, Shao's family showed his photo to Chen Dongfeng, the head of
National Security Branch of Jilin City Police Department, Chen said to other
police in the room, "It looks like him (Dr. Shao)." Dr. Shao's family questioned Chen as to why they never informed the family
about the death. Chen argued that they did not know who he was. When asked
whether they looked for the family members through the newspapers, he replied
that they had not. The family reminded him that, according to legal procedures,
they should have posted a death notice for an unidentified person in the
newspaper. Chen continued to argue, saying that Dr. Shao was a criminal suspect
and they just helped with an internal investigation. The family further pointed out to Chen that even an internal investigation
would have identified him, because Dr. Shao had escaped from the Yinmahe Forced
Labor Camp, Jiutai, Jilin Province and his "wanted" photo was posted
in every police department in Jilin Province. Chen Dongfeng had no reply. He
turned around and asked, "Since the identity of the dead man hasn't been
confirmed yet, why do you ask so many questions?" When he found out that
Dr. Shao's wife was a practitioner as well, he kept asking whether she still
practiced. Dr. Shao's wife answered, "It is a good practice, why should I
stop practicing?" Chen immediately refused her permission to go to the
Corpse Identification Center to identify the body. Other family members went
there and confirmed, through viewing the corpse and the photos that were taken
in 2002, that the body was Dr. Shao's. A tear-gas grenade collapses the bed; blood was splashed over the walls and
the floor According to Chen Dongfeng, the story unfolded like this. They followed a
person from Heilongjiang Province and suspected there were Falun Gong
practitioners staying on the seventh floor of the No.2 Geology Building, Fengman
District. Therefore, the police from National Security Branch of the Jilin City
Police Department surrounded the building and forcefully broke into the room.
They found only Dr. Shao in the room. When Dr. Shao did not cooperate with the
arrest, they called the riot police and threw a tear-gas grenade into the room. From the photos that the police department took of the site, whatever that
was thrown into the room was powerful enough to destroy the bed. The police
department tried to cover up their crime and called this a case of suicide. In the photos taken of the body in August 2002, Dr. Shao's eyes were wide
open and his neck had a deep cut. There was blood everywhere in the room, on the
floor and on the walls. Dr. Shao was just wearing short pants without any other
clothing on him. The Jilin Police Department did not make any rescue attempts
and directly sent the body to the Corpse Identification Center. While the family members were heart-broken, they were forced to cremate the
body immediately Dr. Shao's body was stored at the Corpse Identification Center for over two
years. To save money, the Corpse Identification Center was not kept at the
proper temperature for such storage. Therefore Dr. Shao's corpse had decayed,
mildewed and discolored. There were only short pants on his body. His family
members were in deep sorrow after seeing the condition of his body. When the family went to the Jilin Police Department again, they were told
that they should immediately cremate the body. The police department threatened
the family with having to pay more than 80,000 Yuan for the cost of
freezing the body for two years. However, if the family agreed to cremate the
body immediately in Jilin City, the cost would be waived. Due to the fear that
the photos of the body would expose their crime, they stressed that the other
Falun Gong practitioners should not be told about the cremation. Although Dr. Shao's family suspected that he died from torture or from the
tear-gas grenade, seeing the miserable state of the corpse after two years in
storage and fearing the large amount of the storage fee, they felt pressured to
sign the agreement for the cremation. In fact, there were different opinions
among the family members at that time. Dr. Shao's wife was not present and did
not know the details. There are many doubtful points about Dr. Shao Hui's death; the real murderers
should be held accountable. Since learning Falun Dafa, Dr. Shao benefited from Dafa both physically and
mentally. He was well respected by his relatives and his friends. Since July 20,
1999, Dr. Shao had been detained many times for validating Dafa. The "610
Office" of the Hongshi Forestry Bureau, Huadian City had often tortured him
brutally. In November 2000, he was sentenced to three years of forced labor by
the Hongshi Forest Bureau Police Department and detained in Huanxiling Forced
Labor Camp, and later in the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp, Jiutai City, Jilin
Province. Because of his persistence in cultivating, he was brutally tortured in
the labor camps. On March 31, 2002, during forced brainwashing in the Jiutai
labor camp, he refused to acknowledge the persecution and escaped with righteous
thoughts. He was put on a wanted list. While Dr. Shao was forced to go from place to place and remain homeless to
avoid recapture, he continued to clarify the truth to people. At about 9:00 p.m.
on August 21, 2002, in a room on the seventh floor of the No.2 Geology Building
of Fengman District, Jilin Province, he died while the police from National
Security Branch of Jilin Police Department and the riot police were present. The
cause of his death is full of doubts. The on-site photos from the Fengman Police Branch raise the following
questions. 1. Dr. Shao's eyes were wide open when he died. His face could be easily
identified. Why did the police department claim that they did not know his
identity and therefore did not inform the family about his death for more than
two years? What did they want to cover up? 2. From the on-site photos, Dr. Shao was not wearing any clothing except for
short pants. According to people who know the details, he was wearing clothes
and was preparing truth-clarifying materials before he died. What caused his
death? What happened to his clothes? What did the police do to him? 3. There was blood all over the walls and floors, and there was a deep cut on
Dr. Shao's neck. What caused the wound? The riot police threw in a grenade. Did
that cause the collapse of the bed? What caused it? What happened in the room?
Was Dr. Shao in the room when the grenade went off? Police involved in that arrest included the head of National Security Branch
of Jilin City Police Department, Chen Dongfeng and his people, a deputy of Jilin
City Police Department, police from the Riot division of the Jilin Police
Department and police from the Fengman District Police Branch. Their arrest
action directly caused Dr. Shao's death. Chen Dongfeng is over 40 years old and
has been involved in almost every action against practitioners in Jilin City,
including destroying truth-clarifying material sites and arresting many
practitioners. Several persecution cases that caused practitioners' deaths or
disability are directly associated with him. Mentioned below are some work units and personnel related to the persecution
of Dr. Shao Hui. January 5, 2005 |
