(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Heilongjiang Province) Mr. Fu Yu of Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province was brutally persecuted while clarifying the facts about Falun Gong and was sentenced to five years in prison. Following his being sent to the Jiamusi Prison in August 2009, Mr. Fu began a hunger strike to protest the persecution and went without a drink of water for many days.
Mr. Fu's 70-year-old mother sought help from many places and was finally able to see her son on October 12. During her visit, Mr. Fu was carried out by two guards, one of whom carried Mr. Fu and the other provided support with his hands. Mr. Fu was skin and bones. He exerted strenuous effort to speak, closing his eyes to rest between uttered sentences. Due to his dramatically worsened condition, prison guards could no longer insert a needle into his veins. Instead, they inserted a nasal tube to feed him daily doses of milk to keep him alive.
On October 21, Mr. Fu's mother, accompanied by two other people, went to the prison to see her son. The Re-education Section officer Zhang Qingfeng told her, "You have to answer a question before I can let you see Fu Yu. Do you practice Falun Gong?"
Mr. Fu's mother and her companions explained the facts about Falun Gong to Zhang, but he did not want to listen. Instead, he insulted and cursed Falun Gong and practitioners that were being persecuted. He shouted, saying, "The Chinese Communist Party pays me money," "I work for it," and so on. Then he called the police and reported, "I have several Falun Gong practitioners here. They are propagandizing. You have to come right away." The police officer replied, "We don't have anyone to send over."
Mr. Fu's mother was anxious to see her son. Through some connections, she was able to reach Re-education Section Chief Cao Jianwu. She informed him that she wished to see Mr. Fu. Cao said, "You can't. Falun Gong practitioners exposed us on the Minghui website and attacked the prison. We can't let them visit."
