From the article, quoting Reporters Without Borders:

“Wei is the first ‘citizen journalist‘ to die in China because of what he was trying to film,” the group said in a statement.

“He was beaten to death for doing something which is becoming more and more common and which was a way to expose law-enforcement officers who keep on overstepping their limits.”
