Mother Seeks Justice in Son's Death
2014-07-14
“My husband passed away when our son was five years old. It was not easy to raise two children as a single mother. I survived only because of my son. He was so kind and loved me very much. He told me once: 'I will take care of you, Mum, even if I end up a beggar.' I worked so hard to raise him. He was strong and healthy, but he died when he was only 39. They (Wumaping Prison authorities) said they were not responsible...” said Ms. Peng Guangzhen, a 70-year-old mother seeking justice in the death of her son, Mr. Xu Langzhou, who died in suspicious circumstances in a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prison, incarcerated for his belief in Falun Gong. -
