Two days after the 23rd anniversary of the June 4th Tienanmen Square massacre, Li Wangyang, a labour activist since the 1980s, was found dead in a hospital in which he was being detained.
.
The police claimed that it was a suicide and forcibly took his body away.
But Li’s family is not convinced by the police version and is demanding an investigation into his death.
.
They are being backed by the tens of thousands who demonstrated in the streets of Hong Kong three days ago (pictured above).
.
.
It is hugely important that we in the international trade union movement show our support for our brothers and sisters in China at this time.
.
Please take a moment to sign and show your support for this campaign:
.
And please forward on this email to your fellow union members, co-workers, family and friends.
.
Thanks very much!

本人认为李旺阳是自杀的，他双目失明、双耳失聪，这样活下去是很痛苦的。他之所以在关押期间不自杀，是因为监狱24小时有人监管他，他没机会自杀啊！

Feet on the ground is no proof of foul play. Partial suspension hanging is actually quite common, especially in institutional settings:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging
“by means of partial suspension or partial weight-bearing on the ligature. This method has been most often used in prisons or other institutions, where full suspension support is difficult to devise.”
