About Wang Bingzhang
Born December 30, 1947, Wang Bingzhang is a political activist who publicly opposed China’s one party rule. He was forcibly removed from the country and went to live in Montreal, Canada, in the 1980s. But in June of 2002, he traveled to meet with activists in Vietnam, where he was kidnapped. Six months later, in December 2002, he was announced to be arrested on charges of espionage and terrorism. He went on a hunger strike after being punished for misbehaving, which led to more intense punishment, like solitary confinement. Many international organizations, including Amnesty International and the United Nations, oppose China’s decision to imprison him.
In addition to being a political activist, he is also a father and grandpa. Not only that, but he was a respected doctor who served for eight years before becoming the first citizen of the People’s Republic of China to get a doctorate degree in North America. He chose to fight for human rights. Being imprisoned for decades, he’s never seen his grandkids in person. We’re still fighting for his freedom today.

I am the founder of Voices United for Change, and I started this organization to raise awareness of political prisoners like my grandpa to help them gain their freedom. With this foundation, I hope to reach more people to help out with advocacy and to make real change.
