Imprisoned Chinese Catholic Bishop dies in custody.(Inside Track)(Han Dingxiang)(Brief article)
Roman Catholic Bishop Han Dingxiang, age 71, died in police custody on September 9, after nearly eight years of imprisonment in China. "With the exception of a few of his very close relatives who were suddenly summoned by the government authority to his bedside before his death, none of his priests and other faithful were aware of his grave illness or of any other cause leading to his death; nor were they aware of the fact that he was dying in a hospital," according to a press release from the U.S.-based Cardinal Kung Foundation. "The bishop was immediately ordered by the government authority to be cremated at approximately 5 a.m. next morning and his ashes were buried immediately in a public cemetery--all within 6 hours after his death. Consequently, with the exception of a few relatives, the body of Bishop Han was not viewed by the public or by any other faithful," said the foundation statement.
