Guangdong Provincial Women's Prison Refuses to Provide Medical Attention for Practitioner Physician Suffering from a Stroke
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner and physician Ms. Fan Zhijun
from Huizhou, Guangdong Province, was persecuted while suffering from a stroke
at the Guangdong Provincial Women's Prison. Sources say that the prison sent a
notice to the family in January 2007 stating that her high blood pressure was at
"the third level" and that she was suffering from a stroke. The day before yesterday, one of Ms. Fan's family members visited her at the
prison. Ms. Fan is only 54 years old but she had to walk with a cane. She also
had difficulty moving herself and did not have clear consciousness. Upon seeing
this, the family member pressed strongly for the prison to release her
immediately. However, the guard said that Ms. Fan did not meet the criteria of
sickness needed for release. The family member questioned, "Her condition
is so horrible already, what is the criteria to release someone?" The guard
answered that there were many prisoners in similar conditions and they did not
have the authority to release any of them. Ms. Fan Zhijun, from Hunan Province, was a chief physician at the Gynecologic
Department of the Guangmeishan Railway Hospital in Guangdong Province. She has
been illegally arrested and sent to forced labor camps several times
by the Huizhou Railway Police Station and the State Security Group of Huizhou
City. Ms.Fan was a devout practitioner of Falun Gong. She also distributed the
"Nine Commentaries on Communist Party", promoting withdrawals
from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, and
clarified the truth of Falun Gong. On May 23, 2005, Fan Zhijun was arrested by the State Security Group police
and detained at the Boluo Detention Center of Huizhou. She went on a hunger
strike to appeal the persecution against her but was force fed by the guards and
tortured. Her old diseases then recurred. She was sent to the Central Hospital
of Huizhou City twice and diagnosed with third stage heart disease and high
blood pressure (220/160). The Huizhou 610 Office sentenced Fan Zhijun to eight years of
imprisonment. The deputy director of the detention center, Wang, and others
tortured her severely and cuffed her hands and feet when transporting her to the
Guangdong Provincial Women's Prison on September 30, 2006. On the way to the
prison, Ms. Fan lost consciousness, but Wang left her at the prison and quickly
left. Although the prison realized that her life was in danger, they did not
release her, either. Xu Zhiping, the former head of the No. 1 Department of Huizhou Railway Police
Station, played a major role in illegally arresting Dafa practitioners Tian
Xiuyan, Fan Zhijun, Zhong Jiawen, Kuang Dongying, Wang Zaishu, Li Hua, Xiao Kai,
Ms. Wu, Ms. Xie, and others. In May 2005, Xu Zhiping manipulated the State
Security Group of Huizhou City and the 610 Office to arrest Fan Zhijun's family
members and interrogate them with torture. Ms. Fan's son was detained for one
month during which he was tortured and threatened. Guangdong Provincial Women's Prison Boluo County No. 1 Detention Center, Guangdong Province Xu Zhiping, former head of the No. 1 Department of Huizhou Railway Police
