Mr. Wang Gang, 41, Hebei
After being unlawfully detained in 2003 for practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Wang Gang was “sentenced” to 10 years in prison in 2004 following a sham trial. After being forced to remain stationary with his feet shackled causing limited blood circulation, the health of Wang’s right leg deteriorated and had to be amputated immediately upon his release from solitary confinement. He was finally released on October 14, 2009. Mr. Wang died at 10 p.m. on October 31, 2009. He was 41 years old.
