OTTAWA \u2013 It was business as usual Friday at the prime minister\u2019s Langevin Block office, where Stephen Harper smiled and chatted with the Chinese ambassador to Canada before confirming plans for his third official visit to China next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the opportunity to build on our economic relationship and also our friendship,\u201d Harper told Luo Zhaohui.<\/p>\n
However, less than a block from the red brick building, Wang Bingwu of Toronto stood outside, holding a simple white placard that read, in all-caps lettering: \u201cPM Mr. Harper, please help to free my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Wang Bingzhang, considered by many the founder of the overseas pro-democracy movement in China, has been in a Beijing prison since 2002, serving a life sentence for trying to foster democracy in China from abroad.<\/p>\n
Wang, who studied in Canada and received his doctorate in pathology from Montreal\u2019s McGill University, was abducted by Chinese agents while on a trip to Vietnam. He was convicted in a secret trial that the organization, Amnesty International, says did not meet international standards for a fair trial.<\/p>\n
Since then, Wang\u2019s relatives in Canada have made it their business to campaign for his release. But so far, they have been unsuccessful, amid growing worry that the 66-year-old\u2019s health is in steady decline.<\/p>\n
