But he still died from his injuries on the eve of the traditional Chinese festival Mid-Autumn Festival.
What happened?
According to “Gu Yu” from the Chinese website Tencent News, Tang had a history of domestic violence for many years.
Ram’s sister, Zhuoma, said the most serious domestic violence occurred in May this year when Tang used a bench to crush Ram into his body and fractured his right arm. Zhuo Ma recalled that she was “full of bruises on her face and bruises on her neck.”
In early May this year, Ram reportedly decided to divorce Tang. The two have two children, each of whom gains custody of one child. But soon after, Tang even threatened that if Ram did not agree to remarry him, he would “kill a child.”
Ram remarried Tang shortly after, but ran away with a child after being beaten again by domestic violence. Since Ram could not be found, Tang also allegedly assaulted her sister Zhuoma, who refused to reveal Ram’s whereabouts.
Ram’s relatives said they reported the incident to the police, but said the police took no action. Local police have yet to respond to this.
Ram eventually divorced Tang and the court announced that Tang had custody of two children.
Police said Tang was blocked by public security organs on suspicion of “intentional homicide” on September 14. The case is currently under rapid investigation.
Public opinion reaction
Ram’s experience has caused a stir on Chinese social media like Weibo. Hundreds of thousands of Internet users have expressed their outrage and concern for many women who suffer domestic violence through the hashtag “# 拉姆”. The subject has been read more than 420 million. .
A Weibo netizen said: “All women should come together and say no to domestic violence. There is only zero and countless domestic violence.”
Another Weibo user said she hopes “women can feel more confident.”
Some netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that the local police did not effectively punish Tang for domestic violence. Tang’s domestic violence has reportedly been going on for several years and the level is rising. From being beaten at home to beaten on the street, Tang no longer even avoided others.
According to the “Gu Yu” report, a policeman once said that from last year to this year, the police station had received multiple reports from Lahm, but the police only verbally warned the man not to go too far, because “an official clean can hardly break housework. “
Netizen @ 汗青 微 博 believes that “honest officials can hardly break housework” as an excuse for “harmony”. “It is good to follow the law as it should be. To say this is to be vague, whatever happens, the essence is embezzlement,” he said.
In an online survey on “How do you think against domestic violence” initiated by the Chinese media “Cover News”, more than 80,000 people out of more than 110,000 people chose to pass the law “heavily trafficked” and almost 20,000 people They believed that women should “Refuse silence and seek multiple ways to protect yourself.”
Legal dilemma
According to official Chinese media reports, a survey by the China Women’s Federation found that 30% of married women in China’s 270 million households had experienced domestic violence. Victims would call the police only after suffering 35 cases of domestic violence on average. help.
In addition to police handling, victims of domestic violence also face difficulties in China’s legal system. Since filing for divorce requires the consent of both parties, when only one party files for divorce, the court often allows both parties to mediate.
Earlier this year, a 24-year-old woman in Shangqiu city, Henan province, was brutally beaten by her husband and jumped out of the window to escape, causing paraplegia in both lower limbs.
But when the woman tried to divorce her husband and provided the court with CCTV footage of the incident as evidence, the court refused to approve the divorce and asked both parties to mediate.
Later, he uploaded the video to social media and it caused great concern. To the outrage of public opinion, the court subsequently approved their divorce.
In the first half of this year, China introduced a new 30-day “cooling off period for divorce” in the recently enacted “Civil Code”. This mechanism gives both spouses time to reconsider their decision before they are allowed to divorce. But this has caused a lot of controversy and concern on the Internet. Some people worry that victims of domestic violence may experience more violence or pressure during this time.
This law, which will take effect in 2021, does not apply to families with a history of domestic violence, but human rights organizations say that many victims of domestic violence have not reported to the police.
One piece of good news is that in June this year, Yiwu City in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province announced that it would introduce a system to check a partner’s history of domestic violence before marriage from July 1. The spouse only needs to provide the official identification card and identification card information of the married couple for reference. This query not only records intrafamily violence between family members, but also intrafamily violence that occurred during the period of coexistence.
