(Minghui.org) A 75-year-old resident of Xinbin County, Liaoning Province is in serious condition while serving four years for practicing Falun Gong. He is being treated in the prison hospital.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

According to an insider, because Mr. Wang Zhongsheng refused to renounce Falun Gong, the guards at Dongling Prison forced him to sit on a small stool for long hours without moving, even when his buttocks developed sores and became severely infected. As Mr. Wang’s condition continued to deteriorate, he was taken to the prison hospital for treatment. It’s not known whether he has been subjected to other forms of torture or abuse at the prison hospital.

We urge the prison to release Mr. Wang immediately. 

Mr. Wang, a senior lecturer, was arrested and had his home ransacked on November 1, 2020. He was sentenced to four years and fined 4,000 yuan by the Shuncheng District Court on April 26, 2021. 

In the past 21 years of the persecution of Falun Gong, Mr. Wang was fired from his job and has been repeatedly arrested and detained for upholding his faith. His wife, Ms. Wang Guilan, who also practiced Falun Gong, succumbed to the pressure of the persecution and passed away in December 2019.
