Practitioner Ms. Lin Guizhi Denied Medical Parole

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Lin Guizhi, from Chaoyang City in Liaoning Province, has been imprisoned in the Liaoning Province Women's Prison and subjected to abuse for more than five years. Her situation recently became very serious, and she has been lapsing into a coma several times a day. Community Security Affairs Division head Li Guangwen at the Chaoyang City Police Department Guanming Branch has denied her medical parole.

Ms. Lin Guizhi, 46, was arrested on November 18th, 2003 and was sentenced to seven years of prison. She is now held in the Sixth Team of the Second Ward in the Liaoning Province Women's Prison. She has lately developed serious illness symptoms and gone into spasms and comas several times each day. She was taken to the Shenyang Medical University Hospital for an exam, and qualifies for medical parole. The prison authorities sent two guards to Chaoyang City to process her medical parole application on November 19th, 2008.

Community Security Affairs Division head Li Guangwen denied her application, saying that the medical examiner from Chaoyang City Police Department stated that Ms. Lin did not qualify.

Ms. Lin's family members have questioned Li Guangwen face-to-face several times, demanding to know why he blocked the medical parole application. Each time, he made untenable excuses. The last time he said that if prison authorities could provide papers that say, "physical condition worsened," then he would consider it.

The family members went back to the prison authorities in Shenyang, but the latter refused to send a staff members to Chaoyang City again. Now the prison authorities in Shenyang and officials at the Chaoyang Police Department are shifting responsibilities on each other, and the family members have had no resolution after many inquiries.
