(Minghui.org) It has been three years since Mr. Liu Nailun was admitted to Jinan Prison in Shandong Province to serve an eight-year term for his faith in Falun Gong. The Mengyin County, Shandong Province resident in his 50s is being constantly monitored by the inmates and held in solitary confinement.
During the past three years, the prison has denied Mr. Liu in-person visits by his family, citing the pandemic as an excuse. His brother has only been allowed to talk to him once through a video call. He was saddened to see how emaciated Mr. Liu was due to the abuses in custody. Due to strict information censorship, more information about Mr. Liu’s current situation isn’t available.
Mr. Liu, a former accountant with the Mengyin County Production Materials Company in Shandong Province, was arrested on September 7, 2018 for practicing Falun Gong, a mind-body discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999. The police never informed his family of his arrest or allowed them to visit him; officers only asked the family to pay for his living expenses.
Mr. Liu’s family later learned from sources that he was secretly sentenced to eight years in Jinan Prison around September 2019 by Lanshan District Court.
This is the third time that Mr. Liu has been sentenced for practicing Falun Gong. He was previously given three years of forced labor and two prison terms totaling seven and a half years.
He was beaten, force-fed, and chained to a bed while serving time in the prison. His wife divorced him and his workplace fired him after being pressured by authorities.
