"Under the threat of more than 40,000 pairs of eyes and the shock of more than 40,000 fists, Wu Guangpu and other three criminals bowed their heads and admitted their countless criminal facts." At this time, there was another fist avalanche at the venue, and the indignant masses shouted the slogan again: "Revenge for the dead!" " "Shoot Wu Guangpu, Li Yadong and Chen Tianshou!"
10 or so, the people's court in northern Sichuan adopted the opinions of the masses and announced on the spot that Wu Guangpu, Li Yadong and Chen Tianshou, the gang leaders, were sentenced to death, deprived of public rights for life and confiscated their personal property. That is, three criminals were arrested in front of the stage, charged and shot.
People flocked to the execution ground with people. A clerk in the crowd said, "I knew these people would not live!" " ""How do you know? "Someone asked." You see, more than 10,000 people have signed complaints against them, and they must be dead. "
On February 9, the same year, at 65438, Xinhua Daily reported the public trial in detail with the title of "The People's Court of North Sichuan executed three criminals, including Wu Guangpu and Chen Tianshou". On February 4th, 65438, North Sichuan Daily published an editorial entitled "Suppressing Counter-Revolution and Taking the Mass Line" on the front page. The article believes that the successful experience of this public trial lies in the organic combination of mass appeal and court public trial.
This public trial has opened the prelude to the suppression of counter-revolutionary movements in northern Sichuan. It is a concrete manifestation of the implementation of the Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Punishing Counter-revolutionaries in Northern Sichuan, which is of great significance for consolidating the new people's political power in northern Sichuan and maintaining social order.
Just one month after this public hearing, that is, on February 30, 65438, Hu Yaobang gave the following instructions to major criminal cases: "In order to give full play to the effectiveness of the organs and treat all issues cautiously and seriously, all death penalty and life imprisonment cases in the region will be carefully examined and approved by the Political and Legal Committee (now the joint meeting)." At the same time, the office of the director of the North Sichuan Administrative Office sent a letter to the president of the North Sichuan People's Court, expressing the hope that such cases would not be sent to Director Hu in the future.
