Middle School Teacher and Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Fei Chongrun Beaten to Death; Police Do Not Conduct an Investigation

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Fei Chongrun, formerly named Fei Weidong, 41 years old, was nearly six feet tall and very healthy. At noon on October 18th, 2005, he spoke to a man about the persecution of Falun Dafa while buying a motorcycle. The shop owner turned him in to the police. The police arrived and quickly closed the shutters before beating Fei Chongrun to death.

Fei Chongrun is survived by his 80-year-old father, his three-month-old daughter, and his unemployed wife. Right now, the police are refusing to conduct an investigation.

Physical evidence

There are many injuries on different places on Fei Chongrun's body. His lips are swollen and there are bloodstains on the corners of the mouth. Two of his front teeth are missing and one tooth is broken. There is a semi-circle shaped wound on his right temple caked with dry blood. About one inch above this wound is a circular wound about 0.6 inches in diameter. The flesh on that wound is caved in and covered by blood. There is a red abrasion wound below the left shoulder, and there are scratch wounds on both elbows and there is dirt on both knees. These wounds show that Fei Chongrun sustained bodily injuries in the front and back, and on both the right and left sides.

Fei Chongrun's family also saw wounds in his private area, which is black and blue. Fei Chongrun's family asked the shop owner Hong Ying about this incident, but Hong Ying and the police insisted that Fei Chongrun "fell to his death." Considering the locations of Fei Chongrun's injuries all over his body, especially the heavy injuries on his mouth and temple, how could he have knocked out two of his front teeth while injuring his right side, with so many bleeding wounds?

On October 21st, perpetrators from the Jiujiang County Police Department, the Politics and Judicial System and the court who have been persecuting Falun Gong for a long time, formed a group and played the "mediator." Perpetrators from the Jiujiang County Police Department and the Politics and Law Committee each gave Fei Chongrun's family 10,000 Yuan¹ and claimed the money came from shop owner Hong Run.

On October 22nd, four coroners from Jiujiang City and Jiujiang County and two doctors from a hospital performed Fei Chongrun's autopsy and said the result would not come out until one month later. During this period, Fei Chongrun's family enquired several times but was told, "If you keep enquiring like this, you'll probably have to return the 20,000 Yuan!" Fei Chongrun's family thus became silent. No further investigation was conducted into the cause of Fei Chongrun's death, and the case was thus put aside.

A life ended abruptly and the body is covered in wounds. Why does the police not permit the victim's family to enquire about the cause of death?

Right now, the Jiujiang police and Politics and Law system are trying to cover up a public beating death. Kind-hearted people, please pay attention to Fei Chongrun's family, restore justice for Fei Chongrun, and call for the release of all detained Falun Gong practitioners.
