Shenyang City Jail Refuses to Allow Family Visits to Falun Dafa Practitioners; Condition of Practitioners on Hunger Strike Is Unknown

September 16, 2006 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners detained in supervision area #20 of the Shenyang City Second Jail in Liaoning Province have been on a hunger strike. Several practitioners were dispersed to different production workshops to be persecuted. Mr. Sun Yongsheng from Fushun City was one of them. Recently, when his family members visited the jail, the prison guard dragged Mr. Sun away as soon as they met, terminating the visit. Mr. Sun Yongsheng is very weak, and the condition of other practitioners that are on hunger strike inside the jail is unknown. We urge public figures around the world to pay attention to this case and rescue them.

What Happened When Mr. Sun Yongsheng's Family Came to Visit

On the morning of their visit, Sun Yongsheng's family arrived at the waiting room around 10:10 a.m. Prison guard Liu Bin, chief of supervision area #6, where Sun Yongsheng is illegally detained, showed up and took the identification cards of four family members. He returned at 11:30 a.m., announced to the family that the guards went on break at noon, and told them to come back at 1 p.m.. At 1 p.m., meeting room prison guard Wang Wei called Sun Yongsheng's family in. Only the parents were allowed to visit, and the two sisters had to wait outside.

When Mr. Sun and his parents met, his father said, "Four of us came to visit, but they'll only allow your mother and me in to see you. Your two sisters are waiting outside, and they're not allowed to visit you." Sun Yongsheng replied, "That is Li Jianguo's decision. Go find him, and I will too." (Li Jianguo is the brigade chief of supervision area #20, where all the practitioners are detained.)

By then Wang Xiurong, the assistant director of the meeting room, arrived, called out Mr. Sun's mother, and explained to her why only two out of the four family members were allowed to visit. At the same time, the meeting room prison guard, Jiang Dawei, grabbed Sun Yongsheng's arm. Before Mr. Sun's father could speak, the guard forcibly and arrogantly pulled the son away.

When Sun Yongsheng's mother returned, the visitation was already over, and she didn't even have a word with her son. The elderly couple had to leave.

During the visit, the family members noticed that Mr. Sun Yongsheng's hands trembled, and his body was very weak.

I can't help but remember what happened during Sun Yonsheng's hunger strike in 2005, although we only found out about it afterwards. Prison officials suddenly terminated the family visit at that time as well. When the family tried to contact the head of the prison, the prison guards and local policemen threatened them and told them to go away. At the time Li Jianguo asked for the family's phone number, but because they didn't have a home phone they gave him a relative's phone number. When Sun Yongsheng's life was in danger from the hunger strike and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment for five days, however, Li Jianguo didn't even notify the family. When Sun Yongsheng's family asked Li Jianguo about it, he casually replied, "I cannot recall." The authorities don't take human lives seriously. Since then, the relative's phone line has been tapped, and they often receive strange phone calls.

This time the family saw how weak Mr. Sun Yongsheng was and noticed the tyrannical attitude of the prison guards and officials. The family is very worried about his wellbeing, and the parents are especially distressed.

Details of the persecution of practitioner Mr. Sun Yongsheng can be read in the article:

"Emergency Rescue Needed for Sun Yongsheng, Who is Near Death in the Shenyang City 2nd Jail" (April 15, 2005, Clearwisdom.net)

The Condition of Practitioners Who Are Hunger Striking Is Unknown

Mr. Sun Yongsheng is one of the many practitioners that are hunger striking in supervision area #20 of Shenyang City Second Jail. We don't know the condition of the other practitioners, but based on Mr. Sun's weak physical condition, they are probably still on a hunger strike and are requesting to be released with not-guilty verdicts. We ask that practitioners send forth righteous thoughts, expose the evil acts, and rescue these practitioners. We also appeal to the righteous people around the world to pay attention to this case and rescue these practitioners.

According to Clearwisdom.net's news article on August 2, 2006, about the persecution in China, practitioners in supervision area #20 of Shenyang City Second Jail have been hunger striking. The authorities decided to disperse the hunger-striking practitioners to different production workshop rooms to further persecute them. Prisoners' daily lives and production labor issues are managed by the specific supervision area. Supervision area #20 manages issues related to Falun Gong, such as visitation. The practitioners that were dispersed include Zhao Jiyuan (Shenyang City), Hu Guojian (Fushun City), Sun Yongsheng (Fushun City), and Huang Gang (Fushun City). The situation of others is not known. Presently, we know that some practitioners were sent to Xiangjiao supervision area #6, supervision area #8, and supervision area #1.

Note: Since the prison is profiting from prison labor, the prison switchboard is especially interested in phone calls regarding prison work. All other phone calls might not be transferred.
