Defend the Defenders, August 26, 2018
Hua Hoang Anh, who participated in many peaceful protests in 2014-2018 on various issues, had committed suicide which led to his death in early August, his wife Huynh Thuy Hang told Defend the Defenders.
Mrs. Hang said on August 2, while police in Chau Thanh district, Kien Giang province, conducted house search of their private residence in Binh Loi village, Minh Hoa commune, her husband took a knife to cut his throat. She witnessed the incident and tried to prevent his act but failed.
Her husband was taken to the district general hospital but died on mid way, possible due to blood loss.
Hang said at 9.30 PM of August 1, police came to their house and detained her husband and took him to the district police headquarters for questioning about an explosion carried out by her husband one month before in a field not too far from their house.
Police questioned him overnight and at 10.30 AM of August 2, they took him back to his house and searched it.
She said after his death, police cheated her, telling her that they returned his body to her family for burying, but they took his body to the province’s funeral house for autopcy which lasted more than five hours. Police did not allow her nor other family’s members to participate in the autopcy, and returned his body covered with clothes.
During his funeral, local authorities deployed a large number of police officers and plainclothes to station near his house, banning relatives, friends and local residents from taking pictures and making videos. The photographer hired by the family to record the funeral was forced by police to delete all pictures and videos he made, Hang said.
Police have closely monitored their house before and after his funeral, and paid special attention for people coming from other areas, she said, adding she is still under close surveillance of the police.
Hua Hoang Anh participated in many peaceful demonstrations, including the mass demonstration against two bills Special Economic Zones and Cyber Security in HCM City on June 10, 2018 and the gathering in HCM City in 2014 to protest China’s violations of Vietnam’s sovereignty in the South China Sea.
He was summoned by local police to the communal police station many times for his social activities, his wife noted.
Hang said she is very upset of her husband’s suicide and she couldn’s explain his act. She suggested that he committed the act under great pressure from police during the long interrogation from the evening of August 1 to the noon of next day.
