Incident:
According to Duân's sister-in-law ĐÀM Tuyết Mai, at 11:00AM April 8, 2015, family members received a telephone call from a friend who happened in the hospital, notified that Duân was dying in there. Ms Mai said the police office didn't give out any information about Duân's death.
On February 14, 2015, a few days before the Lunar New Year, Duân was engaged in a brawl regarding debt's collection and causing injury to a man in the district. Over a month later, on March 16, 2015, he was arrested and jailed. Family received no info since then, until April 8 they received notification for coming to the hospital to receive his corpse.
According to Duân's brother-in-law CAO Xuân Tường, upon coming to the hospital, doctor told family members that Duân was death on arrival. Mr. Tường supplied Tuổi Trẻ News the photos of Duân's corpse with dark purple spots visibly on the ears, chest, neck, head, face, shoulders, and back.
The chief of security police of Khoái Châu district, Colonel ĐỖ Ngọc Cự, has a different story. He said Duân died in the hospital after 20 minutes of arrival. He said at 11:00AM of the same day, 3 prisoners in the same cell with Duân called the police officer on duty. Mr. Cự said when the officer arrived to the cell he saw Mr. Duân lying on the ground shaking with saliva bubbling out. The police officer and 3 prisoners took him by taxi to the hospital.
Mr. Cự confirmed that his police office didn't notify family members, he said due to family accidentally knew the story, so he thinks it's not necessary to do it again.
The province Hưng Yên police chief, Colonel ĐỖ Đình Hào, promised to investigate, but justice is elusive.
Blogger's Comment:
According to Vietnam's Security Department's Report in Mar 2015: From Jan 10, 2011 to Sept 30, 2014, there are 226 persons died in temporary police transitional cells.
Originated from the brutal force, the regime has designed the police CULTURE of beating at first sign and torture. This culture has to be changed.
