(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Zhijun was from Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. He had been illegally arrested and incarcerated because he practiced Falun Gong. On February 23, 2008, his family received a call that Mr. Zhang had died, and they rushed to the Xi'an City Prison in Shaanxi Province. The prison administration refused to let the family see Mr. Zhang's body. Finally, under the family's persistent demands, they were allowed to see Zhang Zhijun's body. His face was so bloated that it was very difficult to look at. There were obvious purple and blue rope marks on his neck. His family demanded legal representation, but lawyers present said that the higher officials had already ordered legal counsel. No one dared to accept this case. The police cremated the body on February 24, 2008.
