Li Shiyuan, from China, meets his wife, mother and daughter on the day of his execution. The man tells his family he wants to hug his daughter (right) before breaking down in tears (left)

This is the heart-rending moment a Chinese prisoner who had been given a death sentence bid a final farewell to his young daughter.The little girl was apparently too young to understand the significance of the meeting.

She happily waved to her crying father and said 'bye bye dad' - without realising what the separation would mean to the rest of her life.
