The Dahonghou Mass Incident
In 2004, the Chongqing Dahonghu Water Produce Limited Company sued citizen Yi Dade for overreaching on his fishing ground. But the Chongqing City Middle Court Number One ruled that this was an uncertainty involving the border between the Changshou district of Chongqing city and Shuiyuan county in Sichuan province. As such, the status quo should be maintained until as such time as the definition of the border is defined. Previously, Yi Dade had rented the area for almost twenty years already. At the time, there was no dissent against the court ruling. On July 1, 2008, the Chongqing Dahongwu Water Produce Company unilaterally removed the fishing nets in Yi Dade's territory, causing several millions yuan in damages. Yi complained to various levels of government departments without result. On the morning of July 29, Yi Dade began to cast nets again at the original location. At 11:20am, the Chongqing Dahongwu Water Produce Company organized almost 100 crime gangsters armed with machetes, axes, poles and rocks to attack the Yi family. During the process, Yang Dade's second son was beaten to death and the four others suffered serious injuries and are now hospitalized for treatment. The Chongqing Commercial News witnesses the crime and called the police at 11:20am. The police should have been there in 15 minutes, but they only arrived at 12:00 noon. By that time, the perpetrators were long gone. |
