Case Description:
Mr. Wang Jiuwu, a practitioner in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, was a retired director in the foreign trade sector. He practiced Falun Gong for nearly 20 years, during which time he enjoyed very good health and never needed to take any medication.
When Mr. Wang’s wife was sentenced to prison in 2008 her faith, he was almost 80. The old man traveled over a thousand miles to visit his wife, but the guards just took the things he had brought with him and then drove him out, even though he begged to see his wife, even just a glance. He returned home brokenhearted.
Mr. Wang was already 85 when his son and his wife were arrested again in 2015. To try to secure their release, the man spoke to people in the local police station, the procuratorate, and the court. He also hired two lawyers to defend his son and his wife.
When news came that both his son and his wife, then 76, were sentenced to prison in September 2016, the old man could no longer bear the pain. He collapsed three months later and could not eat or drink. When he was conscious, he said with tears in his eyes, “They are so cruel, so heartless......”
The elderly Mr. Wang passed away on June 5, 2017, leaving behind at home his older son, who suffers from mental illness and cannot take care of himself.
