By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Panjin City, Liaoning Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Xin Minduo lives at the Liaohe Petroleum Field in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. Currently he is on hunger strike in the Nanshan Prison located in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province to protest his illegal detention. He is now force-fed by guards, very weak, and his life is in danger.

Mr. Xin Minduo and his wife Bai Juncen (also a practitioner) were both arrested on August 3, 2005, and have been inhumanly tortured. On September 12, 2005, they were sentenced to 13 and 12 years in prison respectively by the Xinglongtai District Court in Panjin City. Mr. Xin Minduo has been in the Nanshan Prison since February 21, 2006. Ms. Bao Juncen has been bailed out but is still on parole after being tortured for eight months in the Panjin City Detention Center.

In early June 2006, Mr. Xin Minduo went on hunger strike to protest, and the strike has lasted to this day. When his family tried to visit him in mid-July, they were deprived of their rights.

In mid-June 2006, four people from Nanshan Prison came to Mr. Xin Minduo's home and told his father that Mr. Xin Minduo was on hunger strike, and he would have an extended term and be transferred to Shenyang City if he refused to quit striking.

Mr. Xin Minduo has been arrested, detained, and sentenced multiple times in the past years just because he believed in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and being a better person. All of the mistreatment has brought huge damage to his family, both mentally and financially. His parents are very old, and the family never told his father about how he is being tortured. The sudden information caused his father's blood pressure to go up to 190mm. He could not bear such an attack, and it was as if a cloud covered his eyes. He could not see.

Mr. Xin Minduo is in a critical condition, but the administration of the Nanshan Prison refuses to release him, and threatens to extend his term or transfer him to Shenyang City.

We sincerely hope that people from different societies pay attention to Mr. Xin Minduo's situation, and help rescue tortured Falun Dafa practitioners.
