Wang Peisheng 07.12.2000

WANG Peisheng, male, 68, was a retired official of Weifang Hardware Store. WANG started to practice late in life. Because he was a former contact person of the Falun Gong assistance center in Weifang, he had been under surveillance since July 20, 1999.

In March 2000, he was detained for writing to the National People's Congress about Falun Gong issues. While incustody, he was detained in a hot and humid cell 24 hours a day and had been deprived of the right to go out of the cell for exercises.

On June 27, 2000 he went to Beijing to appeal and was escorted back to Weifang where he was again detained. The detention center forced his family members to pay a living expense of 40 yuan a day, however the food in the detention center was very bad. He had to drink contaminated water, eat pickles and perform manual labor (digging and unloading trucks). At 2:00 a.m. on July 12, he left this world.

His wife did not receive the notice of his death until 1:00 p.m. that afternoon. In order to cover up the truth, the police forced his family to have his body cremated before the cause of his death was identified.

Reuters, AFP, and the Central News Agency reported the news on July 17, 2000.
