Mr. Wang Shimin Near Death from Torture in Jinzhong Prison

(Minghui.org) Mr. Wang Shimin, 60, has been incarcerated at Jinzhong Prison since 2013 for refusing to renounce Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party.

Mr. Wang has never been allowed family visits during these four years. However, just before New Year's 2017, his family was summoned to the Shanxi Public Security Hospital, where they found Mr. Wang in critical condition.

His family has requested medical parole but have not received a response from the authorities.

Unlawful Arrest

On May 22, 2012, agents of the local 610 Office in Linyi County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province broke into Mr. Wang's home and confiscated his Falun Dafa books and a laptop computer.

They took him to the Linyi County 610 Office on May 23. His family went there and managed to secure his release that night.

On the night of November 6, officers from Beixin Police Station in Linyi County called Mr. Wang to pick up the laptop computer that was previously confiscated. When he arrived, he was arrested. His family went to the police station three times but were not allowed to see him.

On May 3, 2013, Mr. Wang was sentenced to six years in prison. He appealed to Yuncheng City Intermediate Court, which upheld the verdict without holding a public hearing or notifying his family. Mr. Wang was sent to Jinzhong Prison on September 17, 2013.

In 2004, Mr. Wang was sentenced to three years in prison for practicing Falun Gong. He was released in 2006.
