6. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Liu Wen is Held at the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp

According to Liu Wen's family members, Liu Wen was gravely ill in December 2004. They went to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp and requested to bail him out for hospitalization. Personnel from the labor camp let Liu Wen go to Changchun City's Tuberculosis Hospital, together with his family members and officials from his work unit. Later they went through certain bail-out-for-hospitalization procedures and told the family members to pick Liu Wen up once the application was approved. The family members have already waited for over two months, but haven't heard from them yet. They called the labor camp numerous times, and they were told each time the application had not yet been approved.

On February 3, 2005, the family members went to the labor camp again and saw that Liu Wen had become severely emaciated and was so weak he trembled while walking. The family members questioned the labor camp personnel, "You have tortured him so badly, and yet you still don't let him go. Why?" The family members had contacted Zhang, chief of Forced Labor Camp Division, Changchun City's Judicial Bureau, many times and asked him to release Liu Wen, whose life is in great danger. Zhang said, "We'd rather send him to a hospital than release him." Zhang Fengming, chief of Management Section, Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp, said, "You put our names on the Internet!" The family members told him they didn't know about that.

On February 18, the family members called the labor camp and inquired about Liu Wen. They were informed that on February 5, the labor camp sent the gravely ill Liu Wen to the Central Hospital, at Jilin Province's Prison Management Bureau. On February 25, the family members went to the Management Section of the labor camp and demanded section chief Zhang Fengming to let them visit Liu Wen. Zhang told them Liu Wen had been sent to a hospital. Then the family asked to see Liu Wen in the hospital. When the family members went to the hospital, the personnel there said they had to have proof from the labor camp they are authorized to visit Liu Wen. The family members then went back to Zhang Fengming for proof, but he said he was in a meeting and it was almost time to go home, so told them to come back next week.

Liu Wen's whereabouts are still unknown, and it is unknown whether or not he is still alive.
