(Minghui.org) Ms. Wang Jingxiang’s family recently learned that she has become paralyzed as a result of torture in the detention center where she is being unlawfully imprisoned for her belief in Falun Gong.
Ms. Wang was arrested by officers from Xinli Police Department when she was distributing informational materials in the Zhangguizhuang Market on May 24, 2014. The family went to the police department multiple times to seek her release, but to no avail.
Upon learning about Ms. Wang's paralysis, her family members went to the detention center for answers. The detention center staff claimed she was fine. Because her family kept returning and asking about her, the staff finally showed them a video clip of Ms. Wang, taken from behind. She seemed to be very weak and had to lean towards the wall while walking.
The family asked how she became so weak and why they only showed her back. Due to the family’s persistent requests, they showed two more videos. One showed Ms. Wang sitting in a chair and the guard was giving her blood pressure medicine. The other video showed Ms. Wang walking outside with the help of a guard.
The family determined that these videos were taken right after she was detained and did not show Ms. Wang’s current condition. The family demanded to see her in person. The detention center staff refused and claimed that they would not be allowed to see her until they hired a lawyer.
The family heard from the court that Ms. Wang had already been secretly tried on August 12. They asked why the court did not notify the family. The court staff claimed that they did not have the family’s phone number. However, when Ms. Wang was detained, the family left their contact information with them and repeatedly called the officer responsible for the case. Officer Zhang Fan (张帆) refused to pick up their calls.
Ms. Wang is 58 years old. She has been detained in labor camps four times for her belief in Falun Gong. She was persecuted in Banqiao Women’s Forced Labor Camp for six years and was beaten, force-fed and injected with unknown drugs. She suffered from symptoms of high blood pressure and heart attack. She was on the brink of death several times.
