LI SHUXIAN, an 84-year-old woman in prison in Chengde city, North China's Hebei province, has been applying for medical parole because she has suffered from repeated fracture of lumbar vertebra since last year, but all her attempts have been rejected. CCTV News comments:
Li was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in 2016 when she was 82 years old. She was found guilty of "seeking trouble" after she reported to local authorities someone had destroyed her contracted forests and then appealed to the higher authorities when she was not satisfied with the outcome.
Suffering from repeated lumbar vertebra fractures since last year, she has applied for medical parole many times, but each time her request has been rejected.
