Ms. Cao Aihua from Xinjiang Autonomous Region Dies as a Result of Persecution; Her Family Asks for Justice in Vain

On November 1st, 2006, Ms. Cao Aihua from Aksu City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was arrested and taken to the Women's Forced Labour Camp of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corporation. When her husband visited her at the forced labour camp and brought some daily necessities, Ms. Cao told him that the guards in the labour camp had beaten and sworn at her. Her husband had to return home in a rush to deal with an urgent family matter, but only a few days after he returned home, he was informed that his wife had died on November 13th.

Ms. Cao Aihua's remains are not at a funeral parlour yet. Her husband said that he and his family asked for her remains. When cleaning his wife's body, he found a large injury on her back. He believes that his wife died after suffering injuries as a result of severe beatings.

Ms. Chao Aihua's husband, son and younger brother demanded that the authorities punish the people responsible for her death. However, staff from the forced labour camp and the procuratorate show no interest in this murder case. After what happened to Ms. Chao was exposed, the guards from the Xinjiang Women's Forced Labour Camp have tried to keep their crimes hidden.

Currently, in addition to dealing with the tragic death of a loved one, Ms. Chao's family is being pressured severely by the Chinese Communist Party. They dare not receive phone calls, and there are no lawyers who dare to uphold justice for them. They call on the international community and Falun Gong practitioners worldwide for help regarding the beating to death of Ms. Cao.
