Since the shooting of unarmed villagers by police in Dongzhou village, Shanwei City, authorities in Guangdong province have strictly controlled the flow of information out of the village.

Recently, a reporter successfully interviewed the wife of Jiang Guangge, who was the first to be killed in this incident and one of the victims whose deaths have been officially recognized. She said that few people dared to contact her since her husband’s death.

Recently she heard of the official claim that Jiang Guangge was killed because he was carrying a bomb detonator to the scene. She said that Jiang had been wronged. However, she harbors no hope of receiving justice.
