(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Wen Kuan is a Falun Gong practitioner from Chongli County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. In April 2005, he was taken into custody by Qiaodong district police and tortured until he suffered from an inguinal hernia on the right side and became partially deaf. Medical treatment was not provided to Mr. Wen. Instead, he was illegally sentenced to four years in prison.

For the past three years, Mr. Wen has been imprisoned at Jidong Prison in Tangshan, Hebei Province, where he is relentlessly persecuted. Mr. Wen's inguinal hernia has worsened. In December 2007, he had difficulty urinating and having a bowel movement. The hernia has also doubled in size and is very painful. This has seriously affected Mr. Wen's daily activities. According to physicians, if an inguinal hernia is not treated in a timely manner, it can become "incarcerated" or "strangulated," often requiring emergency surgery that can carry much higher risk.

We ask all kindhearted people to help rescue Mr. Wen and all other Falun Gong practitioners who are illegally detained. We also ask that the perpetrators who are involved in persecuting Mr. Wen be punished.
