The judge recently urged lawyers to submit their defense briefs, but they were denied access to the entire case file, as the deadline for the second trial of the “Vulgar Wiki” case, which was triggered by the release of information about Xi Jinping‘s daughter Xi Mingze, approaches. The court alleged that the court of first instance has not yet provided the case, but the lawyers questioned the court of second instance’s claim by saying that the court of first instance has submitted the full catalog of the file, and the lawyers even suspected that the court of second instance is preparing to deliver the sentence in written form in secret. The case involved 24 young people, many of whom received heavy sentences.
The widely publicized “Vulgar Wiki” case is now entering the second trial. According to the main offender Niu Tengyu’s lawyer, Bao Longjun, told the station that the Maoming City Central Court in Guangdong Province has repeatedly urged lawyers to submit their defense arguments, suspecting that the second trial will not be held in court, and that the sentence will be handed down in written form in secret. The lawyer repeatedly asked to meet with the judge of the second trial, Zhang Shuming, but he refused to meet with him for various reasons. Another questionable aspect of the case is that the second trial judge Zhang Shuming himself also participated in the first trial verdict and suggested that the first trial judge should impose a heavy sentence on Niu Tengyu and others.
Bao Longjun pointed out that there are more than 70 files in the case, but the court has only provided lawyers with more than 40 files, and more than 30 files, CDs and mobile hard drives have not been provided.
Bao Longjun said: the court of second instance and the court of first instance said is completely different, she said “people just give me these” is no basis, the court of first instance to the court of second instance transfer of files in the directory, clearly written, reconnaissance volume is 70 volumes, the court volume is 4 volumes, the total volume is 74 volumes, another 69 CD-ROM, mobile CD-ROM is 4. It must have handed over that many. According to the law, after the appeal, the court of first instance will transfer all the files to the court of second instance, if not transferred so much, the court of second instance will not agree.
Bao Longjun also said that if the court of second instance continues to ask lawyers to issue defense opinions when they cannot provide all the files, and may quietly hold a closed hearing, it is suspected of breaking the law.
Chen Ye, an assistant judge for Zhang Shuming, was contacted by the station and admitted that Zhang personally urged his lawyers to submit defense opinions, but refused to say when the trial would begin and whether it would be held in open session.
The judge on this side is informing the defense that the defense statement will be submitted, so the defense statement will be submitted first. I’m not sure if there is a trial, but if there is a trial will be notified in advance.
Chen Ye also said that the lawyer has provided Niu Teng Yu case files, when the reporter raised the issue of incomplete files, the other party will be responsible for the court of first instance, said the court of first instance only provided so many files.
Chen Ye said: the lawyer has read the volume, the grassroots is to give so many volumes to me, I also let the lawyer read, this way, if you have any application, what ideas, then, through the written form, you can let the lawyer submit over.
The mother of Niu Teng Yu said that the case of the dark secret, including torture to extract confessions, Yin Yang documents, etc., after the exposure of the public security sitting uncomfortable, around to attack the Parents of students and lawyers to pressure.
Niu Teng Yu’s mother said: parents are threatened, except me, every parent was interviewed, have a job directly on the unit pressure, no job directly on the Home. They were given several points: parents are absolutely not allowed to accept foreign media interviews, and then that means that your children can not cry out injustice; forced them to withdraw from the parents group, and now there are already five out of the parents group; the detention center more deprived of the children’s rights, there are two children are not in the Maoming detention center. The case was so much torture for him (Niu Tengyu), and now it is even more worrying.
In May 2019, the overseas websites “Red Bank Foundation” and “Chinawiki” exposed the personal information of Xi Jinping’s daughter Xi Mingze and brother-in-law Deng Jiagui, and in June of that year, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security set up a task force. In June of that year, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security set up a task force.
Niu Tengyu, a 20-year-old “vulgar wiki” operator, was charged as the main offender and sentenced to 14 years and a fine of 130,000 yuan.
During a subsequent meeting with his lawyer, he exposed the inhumane way in which he was tortured and beaten with handcuffs, his genitals burned with a lighter, and saline injected.
“Xiao Yanrui, the founder of Vulgar Wiki, also disclosed to the station that the public security officials in charge of the case had submitted yin and yang documents to the Chinese Ministry of Public Security and the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau, respectively, to remove the name of Gu Yang Yang, the original ringleader of Vulgar Wiki, whose Family has a background as an official, and replace it with the name of Niu Teng Yu. Niu Tengyu’s name.
The case has now attracted the attention of the international media and the U.S. and German embassies in China.
