Ai was executed by lethal injection in Xichang town in southwestern China. He had been convicted on drug trafficking charges in 2000 by a court in southern China, but released on bail the following year. An addict since 1993, Ai contracted HIV/AIDS though his drug use. His execution came two days before the opening of a major HIV/AIDS conference in Bangkok.
