Australia: Member of Parliament is Concerned about Jailed Falun Gong Practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) In a letter to Muhan Chen on May 28, 2007, Kay Elson, a Member of Parliament in Australia, expressed her concern about Muhan Chen's mother, Ms. Zeng Aihua, a Falun Gong practitioner jailed in the Women's Prison in Shanghai. The following is the letter:

Dear Mrs. Chen,

Thank you for entrusting me to help your Mother's situation in the Shanghai prison. I was saddened to read of her plight and will do my best to assist you.

On your behalf I have written to the Hon. Alexander Downer, Minister for foreign Affairs asking him to investigate your mother's situation. As soon as I receive a response I shall be in touch.

Your sincerely,

Kay Elson MP
Federal Member for Forde
28 May 2007

Ms. Zeng Aihua was illegally arrested in May 2006. Her family cannot contact her and all the letters they have written to her have been blocked by the prison authorities. Ms. Zeng developed high blood pressure (210/110 mmHg) one week after being arrested. The prison refused to release any information on Ms. Zeng to her family and does not allow her family members to visit her. Ms. Zeng's daughter, Muhua Chen, wrote to Members of Parliament in Australia for help.
