the family of a Chinese scientist executed for passing information to Taiwan were officially told of his death or what happened to his body, his daughter said, three days after he died. "I can't even describe how I feel about this. Angry of course," said Ran Chen, the daughter of Wo Weihan, a 59-year-old medical scientist put to death in Beijing on Friday. "We have sent letters to the US embassy asking them to help us to get further information, and we did the same with the Austrian embassy." She said the family wanted to know what happened to the body, as they were planning a funeral in Beijing, and whether Wo left a will.
