Shanghai Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Lan Bing
A recent medical report from Tilanqiao Prison Hospital showed inconclusive results, but when Mr. Lan had an examination at an independent hospital, the results showed that his eyes are in serious condition. His eyes frequently bleed and are developing more and more black spots.
Mr. Lan Bing's family visited him before the New Year holiday, and noticed that he looked gaunt and pale. He was suffering from high blood pressure and could not get out of bed. The Sixth Ward of Tilanqiao Prison sent a prisoner who has medical knowledge to check his blood pressure, but the results were kept from Mr. Lan and his family.
Mr. Lan's family asked Fan Zhenqun, team leader of the Sixth Ward, why Mr. Lan's health has worsened so much recently and why he has not been given medical treatment. They also asked for his release for medical treatment per the prison system's regulations. Fan Zhenqun answered, "High blood pressure doesn't mean anything. The prison is in charge of the procedures for release for medical treatment. The inmate's family can only cooperate." He also threatened the family, "Your attitude is also considered when we decide whether he can be released for medical treatment."
Yang Changyuan, director of the prison Criminal Office, was also present. He claimed that the procedure for releasing Mr. Lan for medical treatment had started. After more than a month passed without hearing any further information, Mr. Lan's family asked for the status, but they received no answer.
A guard at the Sixth Ward told them, "All reports regarding this matter have been sent to higher authorities," but he refused to say who the higher authorities were. After many inquiries, Mr. Lan's family learned that these kinds of the reports go through the Criminal Penalty Execution Department, and then the Prison Administration Bureau. A staff member at the Criminal Penalty Execution Department told them, "I have not seen any report regarding Mr. Lan's case."
Mr. Lan, only 41 years old, was in good health before he was imprisoned. He has been imprisoned for seven years, and now suffers from several illnesses. According to one doctor, "His situation is so severe that nothing can stop the bleeding in his eyes. He will definitely become blind, and it's just a matter of time." He can only see objects within one meter of his face, and his eyes continue to bleed. He also faints due to his high blood pressure.
Mr. Lan Bing lived on Xiangquan Road in the Putuo District of Shanghai. He was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment by the Xuhui District Court in 2001 and sent to Tilanqiao Prison.
