Mr. Hu Zhiming Brutally Force-Fed in Liaoning Province

It was recently reported that Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Hu Zhiming was being held at the Jinzhou City Prison located in the Nanshan Area, Taihe District, in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. He had been on a hunger strike for a considerable length of time, and in response, prison authorities brutally forced-fed him in the prison hospital. He is now unable to walk and is confined to a wheelchair. He remains in critical condition.

According to reports from the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, other Falun Dafa practitioners have been tortured at the Jinzhou City Prison. Among them were Mr. Cui Zhilin and Mr. Xin Minduo, who were tortured to death on August 5th, 2004, and September 1st, 2006, respectively.

Mr. Hu's elder brother, Mr. Hu Zhihua, is a practitioner in the United States. He has been trying to rescue his younger brother for many years.

Mr. Hu Zhiming was an Air Force major, assigned to the Computer Office of the Beijing Air Force Training Institute. In 2000, a year after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong, he was discharged from service because he would not give up the practice. He was then held for four years at the Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai, where authorities tortured him. After his release, Mr. Hu found a job at a science and technology firm in Beijing, however after he clarified the truth about how the CCP persecuted Falun Gong, the police and officers from the State Security Division arrested him in September 2005. He was then held at the Haidian District Detention Centre in Beijing.

We hope all people will keep an eye on this issue and help to rescue Mr. Hu, who is still being tortured in prison.
