Practitioner Ms. Wang Shupei in Critical Condition; Prison Authorities Refuse to Release Her By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Shandong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Shupei, who is being
held at the Shandong Province Women's Prison, suddenly started hemorrhaging
recently and is often unconscious. She had begun her menopause two years ago and
used to suffer from a terminal illness. Her family's request for medical parole
was denied. Ms. Wang Shupei is 46 years old and lived in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong
Province. She was illegally arrested in late February 2004 for practicing Dafa.
While being held in violation of the law at the Zhaoyuan City Brainwashing
Center, she refused to "reform" and was sent to the Zhaoyuan City
Detention Center. She was sentenced to six years in prison, where she held a
hunger strike for more than 20 days to resist the persecution. While she was
very weak, local 610 Office agents sent her to a prison, but the
prison authorities refused to accept her. In mid-April 2004, 610 Office agents
again sent her to the Shandong Province Women's Prison. Her family went to visit her and the prison authorities said, "Her
physical exam results came back normal, except for coronary heart disease." On February 6, 2006, her family went back for another visit and saw that Ms.
Wang was in poor physical condition. Her face was pale and she could barely
walk. They learned that she had started hemorrhaging two years into menopause.
Her family requested that the prison release her immediately but the authorities
refused and said, "Her condition doesn't qualify her for a medical
parole." Several days later her family received a phone call from the prison. They
told her family to bring money and to convince Ms. Wang to cooperate with
medical treatment. Ms. Wang had divorced a few years earlier and had lived with
her daughter. Her daughter was living with relatives and does not have any
income. She could not afford the medical bill. Her family was anxious and again
petitioned to have her released so they could take care of her at home. The
prison authorities again said she did not qualify for medical parole and that
she refused to cooperate with medical treatment, and they refused to release
her. They also said that they would not take any responsibility if anything
happened to her. Ms. Wang's family talked with her and learned that the prison authorities
sent her to a hospital after she had lost consciousness from excessive blood
loss. They administered a drug, which caused unbelievable pain after she came
to, and her head felt as if it was going to split open. She could not endure
such pain and she did not believe in or accept this "treatment," which
nearly killed her. Originally, Ms. Wang Shupei started practicing Falun Dafa because she was
diagnosed with a terminal illness and could not afford medical treatment. All of
her symptoms disappeared soon after she started practicing, and she quickly
recovered. All of the symptoms she is currently experiencing are the result of
abuse and mistreatment under the persecution. Her family calls for kind-hearted
people to pay attention to the dangerous situation that entraps Ms. Wang, and
they ask the prison authorities to release her immediately. Ms. Wang Shupei is now held at the following hospital: Shandong Province General Hospital for Police Cadres Prison administration: Posting date: 3/4/2006 |
