4.2 Jiangsu Changshu Incident Dispute

2011/in August 5, five people, including He Qiang, were sentenced to three years' imprisonment by Changshu City Court for committing affray. At that time, 24 people, including the "machete team" Ceng Yong, were not brought to justice. From last year 10 to February this year, Ceng Yong and others 15 were arrested.

He Qiang's relatives refused to accept the verdict and posted an 8-minute fighting video on the Internet. Soon, the video received widespread attention and was dubbed by netizens as "peasant workers' anti-machete" or "the most cowardly underworld in history"

Many netizens and legal persons believe that the "kitchen knife team" is a legitimate defense and does not constitute a crime. Zhang Hongfeng, a well-known public welfare person, posted a heroic post, asking a lawyer to uphold justice for this case. More than ten lawyers from Beijing, Hunan, Hangzhou and other places formed a lawyer team to participate in this case.

On June165438+1October 13 last year, Suzhou Intermediate People's Court made a criminal ruling that the facts of the people's court hearing the case were unclear and the evidence was insufficient. The case was sent back to Changshu City Court for retrial.
