Abr.25.- After visiting Mongolian writer and publisher Hada in Chifeng prison in Inner Mongolia, his family have reiterated their concern about the appalling conditions in which he is being held. Aged 52, he has abdominal pains and is seriously ill with a condition that has not been properly diagnosed. His food ration was recently reduced, he is not allowed outside of his prison block and he has no reading material. Sentenced in 1995 to 15 years for "separatism and "spying," he recently said he would like to file a new appeal against his sentence, but the authorities refused.
