He offered legal help to Falun Gong practitioners and on June 16, 2009, he defended a Dalian Falun Gong practitioner, Cong Rixu, and entered a not guilty plea for him in court. His courageous and righteous act irritated China’s authorities. Subsequently over 20 police secretly took him out of his house to the Dalian Detention Center.
From the beating he received, Wang Yonghang suffered fractures of his right leg which caused him to be handicapped for life and he also contracted pseudomonal infections which have remained untreated during his three-years in custody. In prison, he was subjected to force-feeding and torture for attempting to stop other inmates from beating Falun Gong practitioners.
On Feb. 4, 2010, Wang was illegally sentenced to seven years imprisonment and detained in Shenyang’s No. 1 Prison. On the evening of Oct. 11, 2010, he was beaten by several inmates by order of the prison guards, causing serious damage. Afterwards, he was locked in a prison cell for further persecution, which left him physically and mentally ruined. In May 2012 he was said to be in critical condition, having been nearly persecuted to death.
When Chongqing’s former top cop, Wang Lijun, fled for his life to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu on Feb. 6, he set in motion a political storm that has not subsided. The battle behind the scenes turns on what stance officials take toward the persecution of Falun Gong. The faction with bloody hands—the officials former CCP head Jiang Zemin promoted in order to carry out the persecution—is seeking to avoid accountability for their crimes and to continue the campaign. Other officials are refusing any longer to participate in the persecution. Events present a clear choice to the officials and citizens of China, as well as people around the world: either support or oppose the persecution of Falun Gong. History will record the choice each person makes.
