(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong student Mr. Wang Baozhen, 69, died in
February 2003 at his home as a result of the persecution he was subjected to.
Mr. Wang Baozhen went to Beijing to peacefully appeal on behalf of Falun Dafa
and deliver truth-clarifying materials. As a result his entire family was taken
into custody at the Botou City Detention Center in Hebei Province and held for
slave labor. Mr. Wang was beaten by the lead inmate in his cell and by detention
center officers, including Zuo Guangchao. He was also forced to pay an
exorbitant fine of over 9,000 yuan.
In 2001, Mr. Wang was arrested several times by the local police. Zhao
Dongshen, head of the Botou City State Security Squad, Guang Chunzhu and Song
Hongfeng of the squad, and Liu Jian from the Fuzhen Police Station carried out
the arrests. Mr. Wang's family and some other local Falun Dafa practitioners
were forced into exile as a result of police roundups. His two sons were
arrested at his home in 2001 and 2002 respectively. Under the weight of the
local authorities' persecution, Mr. Wang died at his home in February 2003.
