Middle School Teacher Fei Weidong Beaten to Death by Police in Jiangxi Province

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Fei Weidong, a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in Jiujiang County, Jiangxi Province told the facts of Falun Dafa to people in a shop on October 17th, 2005. The owner reported him. The police arrived and closed the shutters to the shop, then they beat Fei Weidong to death.

An autopsy was performed and the body was cremated soon afterwards. The ashes were returned to Fei Weidong's family. The authorities claimed Fei Weidong died from heart disease. They refused the family the right to make enquiries.

According to witnesses, there was a large hole on each of Fei Weidong's temples, and all of his front teeth were knocked out. The police beating was savage.

Four people at Jiujiang County Education Committee answered enquiries. (86-792-6812-022). They said, "Fei Weidong practises Falun Gong. He was buying a motorcycle at the shop. We don't know what happened. We know something happened and they called the Emergency Response line, but he died sometime after the police arrived. All the questions should be answered by the police, we cannot."

The authorities of the Jiujiang County Police Department didn't pick up the phone, and neither did the officials of the No. 1 Middle School of Jiujiang County.

Fei Weidong was 41 years old. He had been detained many times for persisting in his Falun Gong practice. In late 2000 he was incarcerated at the Jiujiang County Police Department Detention Centre. According to a report on the Clearwisdom/Minghui website, Fei Weidong refused to read Falun Gong-slandering books as demanded by the inmates at the Majialong Forced Labour Camp in Jiujiang City. The inmates forced him to kneel on a tungsten filament clapboard. Inmates didn't allow him to use the toilet. In the daytime he was assigned a heavy workload. He was forced to stand against a wall with his feet close together and his eyes open for two consecutive nights. The inmates took turns monitoring him and often verbally abused him.

Another practitioner, Zhang Baoxing, a farmer from Group 8 in Chengzi Town, Jiujiang County became healthy and his temperament improved after he started practising Falun Gong. He appealed to the government and clarified the truth after the persecution began. He was tortured to death at the Jiujiang County Detention Centre on January 5th, 2001 and left behind four young children.
