(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Ao Yongjie from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is currently near death as a result of being persecuted in Jilin Province Prison. The prison would like to release him, but the deputy director of the local 610 Office Huang Zhiquan has refused to allow it.

Mr. Ao was arrested in Siping City, Jilin Province, in July 2007 and was sentenced to seven years in prison. In August 2008, he was transferred to the prison. Recently, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis so severe that he has a hole (or holes) on his lung and was on the verge of death. The prison wanted to release Mr. Ao. However, the deputy head of the local 610 Office, Huang Zhiquan, refused to sign an agreement for the release.

Huang Zhiquan is the chief of the Domestic Security Division and deputy director of the 610 Office for Horqin Right Middle Banner, Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He wanted to exchange Mr. Ao's release for a guarantee from his wife, Liu Guimei, to stop distributing fliers and exposing the persecution of Falun Gong, and to reveal the names of local practitioners and contact people. Ms. Liu firmly rejected his offer.

Mr. Ao was formerly employed at the Tongliao Railway Bureau's Vehicles Depot. He was fired in 2000 for being a Falun Gong practitioner. He was harassed many times by Huang Zhiquan and Wang Quan from the Horqin Right Middle Banner Police Department. His home was ransacked many times. Mr. Ao was illegally sentenced to prison twice. The first time he was sentenced to three years in Bao'anzhao Prison. In 2005, he was detained in a brainwashing center for one month. After that, he was forced to leave his home and work in another city. On July 13, 2007, Mr. Ao was arrested in Siping City, Jilin Province, and then sentenced to seven years in Jilin Province Prison. On April 24, 2008, Mr. Ao and other two practitioners were transferred to the prison.
