Fushun City Detention Centre Imprison Practitioner Despite Life Threatening Illnesses

Mr Lu Zhenggang, a fifty-two year old Dafa practitioner, is the former respected Party Deputy Secretary, and Secretary of the Inspecting & Discipline Commission of the Fushun City Planning Company, Liaoning Province. He has been removed from his position, and been persecuted to the point that his life is in danger.

On August 12 2002, he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa to the government. As a result, the Hedong Police Substation of Shuncheng District in Fushun City sent him to the Fushun City First Detention Centre, where he was illegally sentenced to five years in jail.

Before he started practising Falun Gong, Lu Zhengang had heart disease, a brain tumour, and other diseases. He had two major operations, one on his heart and one on his brain tumour, during which both his chest and head were cut open. After practising Falun Gong, he fully recovered, and became a completely healthy person. During his detention, under the vicious persecution and intense pressure, his old diseases came back, resulting in the loss of sight in his right eye. The detention centre sent him to Dabei Prison in spite of his health condition. The prison refused to admit him, and sent him back to the detention centre. In the detention centre, Lu's heart disease and brain tumour recurred. He was in unbearable pain because of his life-threatening condition.

In October, a Fushun City Central Hospital medical examination concluded that he was "incapable of and unsuitable for prison." The detention centre sent the medical examination results to the Shuncheng District Court and to the District Political and Legislation Committee. Both authorities refused to follow the law. They ignored the law, and disregarded the danger to this Dafa practitioner's life. Currently Lu is still in the First Detention Centre. His situation is extremely serious.

We are calling on the international society, human rights and other international organisations, as well as righteous people all over the world to extend your help to rescue Lu Zhengang from his life-threatening situation.
