Zhiwen Wang,
55, father of Danielle Wang, 22, student at
the University of Texas
Zhiwen Wang, male, 50, government official—father
of Xiaodan Danielle Wang (a student at the
University of Texas in Austin). Mr. Wang
was one of four volunteer contact persons
of the Beijing Falun Dafa Association to
be sentenced to a 16-year prison term. The
little news that filters out of the PRC
to Danielle and her family is vague and
disconnected, and letters are not allowed
through either way. They heard that he has
been forced to sit on a small bench for
seven straight days without food, water,
or rest. He has been tortured to try to
make him renounce his belief in Falun Gong,
but he has consistently refused to succumb.
One day a phone call from China reached
Danielle’s mother and it was Zhiwen.
The entire conversation was about their
daughter. That was almost two years ago
and the last word received from Zhiwen.
