(Minghui.org) An 81-year-old mother from Shaanxi Province traveled hundreds of miles to Shandong Province, only to be turned away from seeing her son, who is serving four years for refusing to renounce his faith in Falun Gong.
Mr. Ma Fujian, who worked in Shandong, was arrested last May for telling people about the persecution of Falun Gong. He went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention, but was brutally force fed and tortured by the guards at Xinkang Prison.
His brother visited him in late March this year and was saddened to see that he had lost more than half of his body weight. The older Mr. Ma is in the process of filing a request for his younger brother's release on medical parole.
Their mother rushed to Shandong upon learning of her younger son's precarious conditions, but the prison has banned family visits after Mr. Ma told his brother about his torture during the March meeting. She is now standing and protesting outside the prison compound every day, calling for her son's release.
