More Information on the Persecution and Death of Zhu Xianghe from Jiangsu Province

Mr. Zhu Xianghe was a 63-year-old practitioner from Wumutun Village, Suining County, Jiangsu Province. In April 2005, he was arrested and taken to Sutang Brainwashing Centre in Suining County, where he was beaten to death. A witness said that Zhu's fingers and toes were completely black. His eyes and internal organs were harvested, and it was gruesome to watch.

While Zhu Xianghe was working at home on April 1st, 2005, officers from the village police station took him away. On April 20th, the lawless police called Zhu's son and told him that his father had died from an illness, and that he needed to come claim the body. Zhu Xianghe's son went to the police station to question them, "My father was healthy when you arrested him. If he was sick, why didn't you call us? Why didn't you let him get treatment? And why did you wait until he died to call us? I think you beat my father to death. I am going to sue you."

Zhu Xianghe's family didn't claim his body, so the police left the body in a location close to the crematory for almost a month. According to Zhu's family, the county's 610 Office¹ told the local police station to give 7,000 yuan² to Zhu's family to silence them. The local police station didn't want to pay. Since the county's 610 Office was worried about the body being left out for so long, they sent people to Zhu's home. To keep the family quiet, they paid them 15,000 yuan for the burial, and gave Zhu's wife a monthly allowance of 150 yuan. Then, they proceeded to cremate the body.
