Mr. Chen Jinjing was examined and found to need immediate medical treatment, but his family's requests for treatment or medical parole have been denied.
Mr. Chen Jinjing Arrested, Now in Critical Condition
Mr. Chen Jinjing from Zhoukou City, Henan Province, is being held in a detention center. Around March 18, 2009, he was taken to the City Central Hospital for check ups every day for three days. The doctors found that both of his legs were disabled, his blood pressure was unstable, and there were serious problems with his brain, heart, and other organs. If he did not receive immediate medical treatment he would be paralyzed very soon, and he might even die. However, CCP officials in Zhoukou City and Gao Feng, the Domestic Security Team of Sha'nan District Police Branch refused to release Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen Jinjing is approximately 60 years old. On January 9, 2009, he was arrested again by the CCP. He was detained in a detention center, and his previous illness recurred. His legs became very painful, so Mr. Chen had to lie on the floor. He had to be carried by two people to use the bathroom. Nevertheless, CCP authorities Zhoukou City still controlled the local Procuratorate to issue arrest warrants against Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang Tianyu, Ms. Wang Aizhi, and Mr. He Jinliang, and tried to have them sentenced.
Mr. Chen had a very serious car accident in the past. One side of his body, from his head, face, arm, and shoulder to his hip, leg, and foot, were all injured. After emergency treatment he survived, but one leg was permanently disabled. Especially during the winter or on rainy days, his old injury made him suffer a lot. He couldn't go to work and retired in his 40s due to the disability.
In the spring of 1996, Mr. Chen started to practice Falun Gong. Not long after he started practicing the exercises, his condition started to improve. Although he still limped when he walked, his other injuries from the accident did not hurt anymore, and he didn't suffer in bad weather anymore; his personality even became better. He was very grateful to and appreciative of Dafa.
He was arrested three times because of his belief in Falun Gong. The first two times took place in Xiangcheng City at the beginning of the persecution. The Domestic Security Team leader Ma Zhefeng ordered the police to arrest Mr. Chen, and he was taken to Xiangcheng Detention Center. The first time he was detained for several months, the second time he was detained for almost a whole year. Because of the poor living conditions, heavy labor, and poor food, Mr. Chen's health worsened, and his old illnesses recurred. His upper body became stiff while he could barely move his lower body.
After he left prison he recovered to a certain degree, but sometimes he was well and sometimes he was ill. When it was serious, he couldn't get out of bed. He was in severe pain when he moved, and usually he had to try for more than an hour with the help of his family just to get out of bed.
At around 9 a.m. on January 9, 2009, Mr. Chen was arrested for the third time. Just after he left home, around twenty people from the 610 Office, the Domestic Security Team, the local district office, the broadcasting and television bureau, and other CCP agencies arrested Mr. Chen. They searched him and found the keys to his home. They ransacked his home and put him in Zhoukou Detention Center.
After twenty days of detention, Mr. Chen's old illness recurred. He was in great pain and was not able to stand up or walk. On March 5, 2009, the guards took him to the hospital for a checkup. He endured the pain and got in the car. Because he did not receive proper treatment in the detention center, his condition has become worse. His family is very worried and have adamantly requested to bail out Mr. Chen for medical parole, but CCP authorities has refused to release Mr. Chen.
