今天是李旺阳“被自杀”13周年纪念日，他是湖南工人，两次入狱22年、被酷刑致残，出狱后仍坚持为“六四”与民主发声。他说：“砍头我也不后悔。” 李旺阳，1950年生，湖南邵阳市陶瓷厂、玻璃厂、水泥厂工人。八十年代创办《资江民报》，组织“邵阳市工人互助会”，倡导工人自治。 1989年六四前后，他成立“邵阳市工人自治联合会”（简称“工自联”），组织悼念、张贴大字报、声援北京学运。6月9日被捕，后以“反革命宣传煽动罪”判刑13年。 狱中遭长期酷刑，转押多所监狱与劳改农场，健康严重恶化。2000年减刑后提前出狱；2001年再因接受境外采访和生活资助，被以“煽动颠覆国家政权罪”判刑10年。 再次入狱期间，李旺阳双目近盲、双耳全聋、牙齿被撬、几乎瘫痪。妹妹李旺玲也因接受媒体采访被劳教三年。 2011年出狱后，被送至医院治疗。2012年5月，他接受香港有线新闻采访，坚定表示：“为了中国的民主，我就是砍头也不回头。” 6月6日，李旺阳被发现“吊死”在病房窗边，双脚着地、手扶窗台，无遗书。中共仓促宣称“自杀”，抢走遗体迅速火化，家属毫无知情权。 6月10日，香港万人上街，呼吁查明真相。中共一度宣布刑事调查，但2012年7月，湖南省委书记周强仍称“证据确凿，属自杀”。 此后，其妹李旺玲与妹夫赵宝珠遭强力监控、失联数月。港媒调查采访期间，记者也被拘留长达44小时。 李旺阳先生为民主自由奉献了一生，我们不能忘记。 Today marks the 13th anniversary of the suspicious death of Li Wangyang — a workers’ leader, democracy fighter, and human rights defender.
