He exclaimed that he was beaten by the security officers in Dongguan, Guangdong in 2005, breaking his back and paralyzing him from waist down. He began his petition after losing the lawsuits against local government while confined to his home with his father. Officials in Dongguan claimed that he was compensated with 100,000 RMB but this has been contradicted by Ji's personal blog. The Department of Public Security of Guangdong has already required the government of Dongguan to investigate the concerning case.http://news.qq.com/a/20130721/003457.htm 东莞调查"首都机场爆炸案嫌犯"遭不公对待一事 China Central Television 21 July 2013 21 July 2013 Chinese Sentencing On 15 October 2013, Ji Zhongxing was sentenced to six years in prison.Murdoch, Scott https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/world/beijing-bomber-ji-zhongxing-jailed-for-six-years/news-story/d1a3c587c9a017573b2d8c66ebbc6e42 Beijing bomber Ji Zhongxing jailed for six years The Australian 15 October 2013 2014-02-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20140220202424/http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/beijing-bomber-ji-zhongxing-jailed-for-six-years/story-e6frg6so-1226740515896 subscription live 15 October 2013 On 22 March 2018, Ji Zhongxing was released from prison.https://3g.163.com/dy/article/DDG8VANE0001875P.html 首都机场爆炸案冀中星出狱 仍将就东莞致残案申诉_手机网易网 封面新闻 2018-03-22 3g.163.com 2019-06-08https://wxn.qq.com/cmsid/20180321A0Y3TZ00 "首都机场爆炸案"冀中星出狱 仍将就东莞致残案申诉_腾讯网 wxn.qq.com 2019-06-08 8 June 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190608003626/https://wxn.qq.com/cmsid/20180321A0Y3TZ00 dead See also Face Off (Breaking Bad) – the episode in television series Breaking Bad, where Hector Salamanca uses a bomb in his wheelchair to kill Gus Fring.
