Practitioner Ms. Li Xiumin Diagnosed With Tumor; Calling for Her Immediate Release on Medical Parole

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Xiumin has been illegally detained in Team 2, Division 4 of the Shijiazhuang City Labor Camp for more than 18 months. She has recently been diagnosed with breast hyperplasia and an uterine tumor, a medical condition in all likelihood caused by maltreatment under the persecution. The uterine tumor measures about 1.2 inches in diameter. The doctor urged her to immediately undergo surgery. She also suffers from retinitis and once had symptoms of low blood pressure. Her family is truly concerned for her. Definitive diagnoses are needed to find out whether the tumors in her breast and uterus are benign or malignant, and her life could be in danger if she misses the best time window for treatment. Retinitis can result in loss of eyesight if left untreated. We urgently call for the release of Li Xiumin on medical parole. Following is her story:
