Mr. Wang Guiming Died from Torture - His Wife Arrested for Appealing for Him
(Clearwisdom.net) On February 13, 2008, Mr. Wang Guiming, a Falun Gong
practitioner from Tonghua City, Jilin Province, was illegally
arrested by local police and subjected to brutal torture. On February 27,
2008, he was taken to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp, where he died two days
later, due to torture. The authorities, however, stated that he died a
"sudden death." His wife, Ms. Han Fengxia, hired an attorney and filed
a lawsuit with the Suburban Procuratorate in Changchun City. She
presented eight doubtful points to show that Mr. Wang did not die of
"sudden death," but was actually murdered. Consequently, Ms. Han was
illegally arrested from her residence on April 15, 2008. The authorities from the labor camp claimed that Mr. Wang died suddenly. They
plotted to cremate his body as early as possible to cover the crime, but his
family protested. His body is currently in the Chaoyanggou Funeral Parlor and
guarded by police all day. It was reported that Ms. Han hired an attorney and filed a lawsuit with the
Suburban Procuratorate in Changchun City on March 5, 2008. After that,
authorities from the Tonghua City Police Department held an emergency meeting on
March 14, 2008, and decided to arrest Mr. Wang's wife and other relatives, and
sentence them to prison under the trumped-up charge of "making
trouble." They also illegally placed Ms. Han's case on file for
investigation and prosecution. On April 15, 2008, Ms. Han was illegally arrested
at her residence in Changchun City. Detailed information of Mr. Wang's death can be found in the article,
