FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Officials at the hospital when contacted by AFP said the cause of death was
unclear.
As a leading dissident Li was subjected to heavy police surveillance with up
to 10 guards monitoring his hospital ward, rights groups said.
Li had met supporters ahead of the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen democracy
protests, brutally crushed when soldiers fired upon unarmed students and
citizens in central Beijing on June 3-4, leaving hundreds, if not thousands,
dead.
The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in China
said Li was found by his sister and brother-in-law hanging from a window in
his ward by a bandage tied around his neck.
“We cannot rule out that security guards monitoring him tortured him to
death and faked a suicide,” the centre said in a statement.
Once a factory worker in Shaoyang, Li was sentenced to 13 years in prison for “counter-revolutionary”
crimes for his role in the 1989 Tiananmen protests, which spread nationwide,
the centre said.
Not long after his release in 2001, he was arrested and convicted of “inciting
subversion” and sentenced to another 10 years.
According to the Chinese Human Rights Defenders, mistreatment in prison left
Li nearly deaf and blind and he had trouble walking.
“Li’s sudden death leaves one shocked and suspicious,” the group
said in a statement.
“He did not commit suicide after over 22 years of bitter, bitter
treatment in prison, so why would he commit suicide after gaining his
freedom?”
