Guards, Islamic inmates bullying Liu Huiwen for distributing gospel leaflet.
BANGKOK, March 18 (Compass
Direct News) – Liu Huiwen, a Chinese Christian sentenced to 18 months
imprisonment last November for distributing a gospel leaflet to Muslims
in Gansu province, is suffering mistreatment in a Muslim-majority
prison, local sources told Compass. After a recent prison visit, Liu’s
wife Miao Hui Lian claimed that he was limping badly and looked very
thin. Liu, unable to speak openly, told his wife that the prison was a
“very bad place” and that he was being “bullied constantly.” When Liu’s
wife attempted to travel to Beijing to report the abuse, police warned
her to stay at home. A local source told Compass that, “We have reason
to believe the guards or inmates are punishing him for what he did and
trying to cast terror into his heart".
