【新唐人2012年6月23日訊】日媒：谷開來承認殺人滅口

日本「朝日新聞」6月22號報導，中共前重慶市委書記薄熙來的妻子谷開來，已經承認殺害英國人海伍德等犯罪事實。報導說，中共當局已經決定起訴谷開來，並開始調查薄熙來本人當時是否知道谷開來的連串行為。

報導援引消息人士的話說，谷開來承認從90年代前期開始到被捕前，她利用薄熙來的地位，收受有關企業的現金。為了隱藏這種非法收入，她用親戚朋友的名義在美國、英國開設銀行賬戶，並轉移了60億美元，海伍德協助開設賬戶和貨幣兌換等。

報導引述中共內部人士的消息說，谷開來招供，她殺死海伍德是為了阻止他洩露向海外非法匯款的犯罪事實，並供述了具體的殺人經過。

中共當局已逮捕了薄熙來擔任大連市市長期間的幾十名市委官員、秘書、司機等下級和親信，將他們集中起來調查案件。同時調查、搜查了與薄熙來有關的幾百名企業高層、藝人等關係人。

重慶市新常委 薄熙來心腹被逐出

中共重慶市第4屆委員會第1次全體會議，6月22號選出了新一屆市委常委會和書記、副書記，薄熙來當初的心腹中，唯有黃奇帆因為倒戈得以自保，被留在常委中，而原市委常委徐鳴、何事忠都已出局。之前備受外界關注的重慶市前副市長、公安局長王立軍接任者何挺，也沒有出現在常委名單中。

徐鳴在重慶有薄熙來「文膽」兼智囊之稱，重慶當地形容薄熙來「文有徐鳴，武有（王）立軍，經濟有（市長黃）奇帆」。因此，在此之前當地有消息認為，若要清算薄熙來在重慶的所為，徐鳴將首當其衝。

而何事忠則被稱為薄熙來「喉舌」，掌管宣傳部門並幫助薄收買學者、進行輿論宣傳、並攻擊政敵。

這幾年緊跟薄熙來的重慶市長黃奇帆，自從2001年擔任重慶市副市長開始，在賀國強、黃鎮東、汪洋、薄熙來、張德江5任重慶市委書記手下工作，被外界認為極具政治手腕，甚至被譏諷為「五朝元老」。這次因大肆揭發薄熙來的罪行，得以擔任市委副書記。

大陸異見作家廖亦武獲德國和平獎

旅居德國的中國異議作家廖亦武6月21號獲得了德國最高的人文獎——圖書貿易和平獎，獎金二萬五千歐元。這是這個獎項成立62年來，第一次頒發給中國作家，頒獎儀式將在今年10月14號於法蘭克福聖保羅教堂舉行。

和平獎評審委員表示，把這個獎項授予廖亦武，是為了表彰他以有力的語言和無畏精神來反抗政治迫害，堅持不懈的為中國被剝奪政治權利的群體發聲。

廖亦武1958年出生於中國四川省，曾經歷盡監獄、酷刑和六四鎮壓的滄桑，又跟中國底層有深入的交流，親身了解到中國監獄和被壓迫者的生活。他以親身經歷寫成的《中國底層訪談錄》，2001年一經出版立即遭到中共當局封禁，但這本書在美國和德國出版後，受到西方讀者關注。

Gu Admitted to Murder

On June 22, Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported that Gu Kailai,

the wife of Bo Xilai, the former Chinese Communist Party

(CCP) Secretary, has admitted to the murder British

businessman Neil Heywood.

It is reported that the Chinese Communist authorities have

decided to sue Gu Kailai,

and have begun to investigate whether Bo Xilai was aware of

this series of behavior by his wife.

The reports quoted a well-informed person who revealed

that Gu Kailai admitted that from the early 1990s up until her arrest,

she had taken cash from businesses that were

taking advantage of Bo Xilai’s position.

To hide the illegal income, she opened bank accounts

in the US and UK on behalf of her relatives and friends.

This way, she transferred 6 billion U.S. dollars. Heywood

assisted her to open accounts and exchange currency.

The report quoted CCP internal news which said that Gu

Kailai admitted she killed Heywood in order to prevent him

from disclosing the crime of illegal overseas remittance,

and confessed to the murder.

The Chinese authorities have arrested dozens of municipal

officials, secretaries, drivers and janissary of Bo Xilai when he served as mayor of Dalian.

These people were gathered for investigation.

They also investigated and searched hundreds of corporate

executives and artists related to Bo Xilai.

Bo’s People Expelled

In the first plenary meeting of the fourth Session of the CCP

Chongqing Municipal Committee on June 22,

new Municipal Standing Committee, secretaries,

and deputy secretaries were elected.

Among Bo Xilai’s original henchmen, only Huang Qifan

revolted, found himself protection, and remained in the Standing Committee.

The former Municipal Committee members Xu Ming

and Ho Shizhong were both kicked out.

Ho Ting, the former deputy mayor of Chongqing and successor

of Wang Lijun, who was director of municipal Public Security

Bureau, got a lot of attention before, but he was not

on the list of the Standing Committee members.

Xu Ming, was the literary advisor and

think-tank to Bo in Chongqing.

In Chongqing, people described Bo Xilai as having Xu Ming in writing,

(Wang) Lijun in arms, and (Mayor Huang) Qifan in economy.

The local news believes that to clear Bo Xilai completely out

of Chongqing, Xu Ming will be the first to be affected.

Ho Shizhong was called the mouthpiece of Bo Xilai, and was

in charge of the propaganda department.

He helped Bo to buy scholars off, carry out propaganda,

and attack political opponents.

Huang Qifan was a close ally of Bo Xilai in the past.

Huang has become vice Mayor of Chongqing since 2001.

He has worked under five municipal CCP secretaries,

including Ho Guoqiang, Huang Zhendong, Wang Yang, Bo Xilai, and Zhang Dejiang.

He was said to possess great statesmanship, and was even

jokingly described as one of the ‘Five Senior Cadres’.

He has vigorously exposed Bo Xilai this time to become

a deputy secretary.

Mainland Dissident Writer Wins Peace Prize

A Chinese dissident writer, Liao Yiwu, who lives in Germany,

obtained the highest German humanities award.

On June 21, he was awarded the Book Trade Peace Prize,

and the prize money was 25,000 euros.

It is the first time this award was granted to a Chinese writer

since the award was established 62 years ago.

The award ceremony will be held in St. Paul’s Church

in Frankfurt on October 14.

A peace Prize Committee member is said to be honoring

Liao Yiwu with the award

in recognition of his powerful language and fearless spirit

in resisting political persecution,

as well as his persistent voice for groups in China

deprived of political rights.

Liao Yiwu was born in Sichuan Province, China in 1958.

He lived through a prison sentence, torture, and 6-4 massacre.

He also had an in-depth exchange with the bottom rung

of society, and learned first hand the life of oppressed ones and life in Chinese prisons.

He wrote his personal experience in his book,

Voices from the Bottom Rung of Society.

With its publication In 2001, the book was immediately

banned by the CCP authorities.

But after the book was published in the United States

and Germany, it drew the attention of westerners.
