Mr. Yang Jianpo Close to Death in Jidong Prison in Tangshan City, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yang Jiandong is from
Langfang City, Hebei Province. He is being detained in the Fourth Ward of the
Jidong (eastern Hebei Province) Prison and is close to death as a result of
severe torture. He is currently detained in the prison hospital, living on an
artificial breathing machine. The doctors are waiting for the higher authorities to decide whether or not
to unplug the breathing machine. The Prison Administration strictly sealed the
information from his family members and refused to allow them to visit him on
more than ten occasions. Mr. Yang has been brutally mistreated in the past several years. He was
arrested on February 20, 2004 and forcefully taken to the Kaiping Forced Labor
Camp in Tangshan City. The camp had to release him on June 8, 2004 because he
was as thin as a skeleton; he only weighed about 90 pounds. On January 29, 2006
(Chinese New Year's Day), Mr. Yang and fellow practitioner Mr. Cao Baoyu were
arrested when clarifying the truth to government officials. They
were both tortured severely. Mr. Cao was tortured to death on April 27, 2006,
and Mr. Yang was sentenced to prison. Jidong Prison address: Nanbao Area, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, zip code
