Wang Yixin 08.14.2000

WANG Yixin, male, nearly 70, was from Guojiacun Village, Gouxi Town, Fangzi District, Weifang City.

On June 30, 2000, some people led by Changchun Song, the Deputy Secretary of the town branch of the Chinese Communist Party took Mr. WANG and illegally locked him in the yard of the public road station for over 40 days. During this period Mr. WANG slept on a wet cement floor everyday. The only coat that he used as a cover on the floor was stolen.

Mr. WANG endured inhuman torture both physically and mentally everyday. In the end he went on a hunger strike for two days to protest when it became unbearable. On the third day he was sent home. At home Mr. WANG could not take food, stayed in bed, and looked sallow; he also could not use the bathroom. Soon Mr. WANG passed away.
