Homicide Alleged
A blogger who claims to work for the Foxconn logistics department posted threads all over online forums saying that some of the “suicide” victims were beaten to death by Foxconn security guards.
This person wrote: “Everyone who is called into the security department is beaten and insulted, just like the Japanese did to Chinese back then [in World War II when Japanese troupes invaded China]. Especially Security Department head Chinming Gu and his subordinate, Feng Liu, don’t have any humanity.”
This self-proclaimed Foxconn employee believes that the ninth suicide, on May 14, was actually a homicide. He wrote: “A suicide victim could not have stabbed himself four times, then jumped off the roof, then flipped over the fence.”
According to an Anhui News report, the “suicide” victim of May 14 is a Foxconn employee from Anhui by the name of Chao Liang. Foxconn media personnel reported that police were at the scene investigating his death.
Police found a bloody dagger, four stab wounds on the victim, and blood on the seventh-floor roof of the building he allegedly jumped from. However, the Shenzhen police declared his death a suicide.
Feng Liang, the victim’s brother, said he spoke to his brother Chao on the phone at 9 p.m., an hour before the incident. He said that he and their mother also spoke with him on the phone during the day, and that his brother was usually quite happy [about working] at the company. The mother also had the same impression.
The person claiming to be a Foxconn employee also said he had knowledge of two other Foxconn employees who had been sent to the security department for arguing with the boss and stealing company products. They were beaten to death, while the cause of their death was declared “suicide by jumping to death.” No names or dates of the incidents were given.
Taiwanese attorney Winifred Tung said during a recent interview that some of the security guards at Shenzhen Foxconn also work for local public [government] security offices and are paid salaries by both.
