(Clearwisdom.net) Zhou Zhi is a Dafa practitioner from Beixi City, Liaoning Province. He was arrested last May for his belief in Falun Dafa, and has been on hunger strike ever since. Last November he and three other practitioners were secretly sentenced to heavy prison terms, each up to more than ten years. He was then sent to the 14th Division of the Shenyang City Second Prison of Liaoning Province to be detained. Because of long-term hunger striking and continuous torture, he is now in critical condition. The prison didn't inform his family to come visit him until this April. When his family members came to the prison, the police there forced them to curse Dafa and Teacher before they could be let in.
Zhou Zhi was carried on a stretcher to the visitation room. He was already skin and bones. Seeing this situation, his family strongly requested he be released. However, the prison authorities refused to free him, claiming that it would be considered a natural death should he die in prison, and that the prison does not bear any responsibility.
We call for all practitioners who read this news to help free Zhou Zhi by all means possible. We also hope kindhearted people will pay attention to Zhou Zhi's plight and help end the persecution of innocent people.
