The recent slaying of a Chinese official by his subordinate is the latest in a long, bloody trail of human rights violations committed by an extralegal Party organization.
Sun Hengshan, 57, the current director of the 610 Office in northeastern China’s Jilin Province, was stabbed a dozen times by his subordinate at around 2:25 p.m. on June 8, reported state-run news website The Paper on June 11. Sun died from his wounds two hours later at a hospital.
