In March 2006, Wang was punished for misbehavior when he locked a guard in his cell with him. Communication with Wang, including visitation rights for family, was cut off, and family was informed that the punishment would last for 3 months. Shortly after, in April 2006, his father died, to which he responded with a [[hunger strike]]. This resulted in prolonged punishment. Visitation rights were restored in November 2006. According to Dr. Bing Wu Wang, Wang's younger brother, his physical health had deteriorated rapidly since the last visitation. This was due, according to Wang, to a new prison warden with lower food quality requirements, harsher physical abuse and intense political study sessions.<ref>[https://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/ASA17/038/2004 Medical Action China: Ill-health of Dr Wang Bingzhang, imprisoned medical doctor and activist] Amnesty International Press Release – July 20, 2004</ref>
