(Clearwisdom.net) Amnesty International called for urgent action to rescue Falun Gong practitioner Guo Xiaojun on December 15, 2010.
Guo Xiaojun, a former instructor at the Computer Science Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, insisted on cultivating Falun Gong, and was sentenced to five years in prison by a Chinese Communist Party court in 2000. He was arrested again in January 2010. During the World Expo, on July 6, 2010, he was sentenced to four years in prison by Shanghai Baoshan Court. He was detained at the Tilanqiao Prison. Guo Xiaojun endured numerous forms of persecution, leading to vision loss. His family members have strongly requested letting him go abroad for medical treatment.

Amnesty International proposed the following requests to related authorities/members on its website:
1. Calling on the authorities to release Guo Xiaojun unconditionally because he is a prisoner of conscience and he is detained only because he insists on his belief;
2. Calling on the authorities to guarantee that Guo Xiaojun is not subjected to torture or ill-treatment;
3. Calling on the authorities to ensure that he is given any medical attention and treatment he may require;
4. Calling for a full and impartial investigation into allegations that Guo Xiaojun was tortured in detention and to bring those responsible to justice.
