安徽老农土葬后遭挖墓焚尸

据安徽电视台报道，2013年12月19日，安徽泾县农民老人程朝穆在土葬后坟墓被公务人员强行挖开，棺椁被浇柴油烧成灰烬。安徽泾县民政局局长胡厚永称，将程朝穆墓穴挖开现场火化，是按照泾县民政局殡葬管理的相关法规来进行的。但是在2013年1月1日正式发布的国务院殡葬管理条例中，已经废除了“拒不改正的，可以强制执行”的条文。


Jing county authorities used diesel oil to burn the body and coffin of Cheng Zhaomu, who died on December 13 and was buried three days later, after allegedly informing the family they were required by law to cremate his remains.While officials claim they acted within the law, compulsory cremation was recently abolished according to the latest revision of Regulations on Funeral and Interment Control released on January 1, 2013, reported Anhui TV.
