(Clearwisdom.net) On February 13, 2008, Mr. Wang Guiming, a Falun Gong practitioner from Tonghua City, Jilin Province, was illegally arrested by local police and subjected to brutal torture. On February 27, 2008, he was taken to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp, where he died two days later, due to torture. The authorities, however, stated that he died a "sudden death." His wife, Ms. Han Fengxia, hired an attorney and filed a lawsuit with the Suburban Procuratorate in Changchun City. She presented eight doubtful points to show that Mr. Wang did not die of "sudden death," but was actually murdered. Consequently, Ms. Han was illegally arrested from her residence on April 15, 2008.
The authorities from the labor camp claimed that Mr. Wang died suddenly. They plotted to cremate his body as early as possible to cover the crime, but his family protested. His body is currently in the Chaoyanggou Funeral Parlor and guarded by police all day.
It was reported that Ms. Han hired an attorney and filed a lawsuit with the Suburban Procuratorate in Changchun City on March 5, 2008. After that, authorities from the Tonghua City Police Department held an emergency meeting on March 14, 2008, and decided to arrest Mr. Wang's wife and other relatives, and sentence them to prison under the trumped-up charge of "making trouble." They also illegally placed Ms. Han's case on file for investigation and prosecution. On April 15, 2008, Ms. Han was illegally arrested at her residence in Changchun City.
