Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Zhu Jinrui's Suspicious Death in Bei'an Prison

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhu Jinrui was serving a four-year prison term at Bei'an Prison when he passed away on May 6th, 2014. He was sentenced to prison in April 2013.

His family was notified that he had died of a sudden heart attack. When his wife and several relatives went to the prison, they saw traces of blood around his mouth. During the whole process at the prison, the guards and prison officials were closely monitoring them.

While overcome with grief, Mr. Zhu's family members were deceived into agreeing with the prison's arrangement to have his body cremated immediately without further investigation.

Mr. Zhu's wife later recalled that he had told her [over the phone] on April 23rd, 2014, that his health was fine and he had gained some weight. The family does not believe that he died of a heart attack, and strongly suspect that he was tortured to death. They hope that anyone with information regarding Mr. Zhu's death will come forward, so they can find out the real cause of his death, and expose the persecution.

Mr. Zhu, 45 years old, resided at Pengsheng Village in Qiqihar City. He started practising Falun Gong in 1997.

He was arrested and taken to the Fuyu County Detention Centre on January 10th, 2013. His home was ransacked, and informational materials about the practice and Falun Gong books were confiscated. He was sentenced to four years in prison three months later.
