【新唐人2014年03月04日讯】身患重病的大陆人权活动人士曹顺利，因被中共当局关押期间得不到适当的治疗，目前经证实，已经生命垂危，陷入深度昏迷。这一消息引发了维权人士和访民的担忧和愤怒，曹顺利的家人和律师表示，将依法追究迫害曹顺利的相关部门及人员的责任。
北京大学法学院研究生毕业的曹顺利，因要求参与联合国人权报告的审议和撰写，长期在北京外交部门前静坐抗议。去年9月，曹顺利在前往瑞士日内瓦参加联合国人权培训的路上，被中共当局从机场秘密抓捕，关进看守所仅半年，就被迫害的生命垂危。
据曹顺利的密友刘晓芳向《新唐人》证实，3月1号早上10点，曹顺利所在的309医院通知她的家属紧急赶往医院，因为曹顺利的病情极不乐观，目前已经陷入深度昏迷，只能靠呼吸机维持。
中国人权活动人士曹顺利密友刘晓芳：“突然间给家里打电话，她现不太好，迅速赶到医院来。她弟弟就给我打了电话，我也赶过去了。现在她极度的虚弱，内脏都急剧的衰竭，又出现腹水，各方面指标都是不达标的。现在曹顺利的生命完全是依靠药物来维持着，就看曹顺利自身生命力能维持多久，就看她自身的生命的欲望了。”
曹顺利的律师及亲朋好友都认为，中共当局对曹顺利的病危有着不可推卸的责任。曹顺利的律师王宇表示，曹顺利原本就患有肝病，去年9月被当局以“寻衅滋事罪”非法关押后，看守所多次拒绝了律师提出的为曹顺利治疗和保外就医的要求，甚至连她自带的药物都被强行收走不让服用，导致她的病情急剧恶化，直到今年2月20号曹顺利病危昏迷，看守所才通知她的家人，并一反常态的催促家属尽快办理保外就医手续。
刘晓芳：“律师去看过、接见以后，说她身体很不好，我们就递交了申请书，要求取保候审、就医什么的，它们都始终不批。到这时候了，人躺下了、昏迷了，你要求取保候审，很显然，它们是推卸责任。”
大陆社会活动家胡佳：“警方通知曹顺利病危，要求给她办理取保候审。你可以看到有多么无耻！当人在里边的时候，你们非法的关押她，然后折磨她，不给她有效的照料和治疗，最后都已经到病危，在死亡线上挣扎的时候，你才给她治疗。这个时候，你又想要把所有的责任踢得一干二净，所谓取保候审。”
2月27号，在曹顺利家人拒绝签字的情况下，北京警方依然对曹顺利做了取保候审决定，并拒绝透露担保人身份。
同时，曹顺利病危的消息传出后，受到了外界普遍关注，来自中国各地的访民纷纷自发前往医院看望，但都遭到了当局的阻拦、软禁和抓捕。
刘晓芳：“外地人也有好多到医院去看去，然后警察也都出动了，在第一防线那地方，就进入病区那个位置上，对外地人拦截。警方对他们也施展了暴力，又抓又什么的。我亲眼看到的大概有20多个，警察也有7、8个人。在这之前北京的人去看她，大概可能有10个人都已经被刑拘了。它们给安了一个罪名，就说是扰乱单位秩序。”
3月3号，包括曹顺利的律师在内的10多名维权律师，联名发表呼吁信，要求北京警方立即无罪释放曹顺利以及前往探望的人士，并要求当局依法公开曹顺利的病情，追究相关人员法律责任等。不到一天，响应的公民就已经达到数百人。
大陆人权活动家胡佳也呼吁，应该将曹顺利现在的状况和受迫害的过程，让每一个联合国成员国了解，让他们知道中国是人权的地狱，中国共产党是人权的敌人。胡佳敦促中共当局公开曹顺利病危真相，如果没有人为此承担责任的话，类似事件还会不断的、越来越频繁的发生。

Cao Shunli close to death, authorities shun responsibility
Due to a lack of proper medical care during her time in detention,human rights activist Cao Shunli is now in a deep coma with serious illness and close to death.The news triggered concern and anger amongst human rights activists and other appealers.Cao Shunli’s family members and her lawyer say,they will lodge a lawsuit against the perpetrators.The relevant governmental departments and staff who specifically persecuted Cao Shunli, will be targeted.
Cao Shunli obtained her Masters degree from the School of Law of Beijing University.She attended, for long periods at a time , sit-in protests at the
front gates of Beijing’s office of Foreign Affairs Ministry.This was mainly due to the fact of the rejection of her application for reviewing and writing to the United Nation’s Human Rights Report on China.
In September last, on her way to Geneva for her training of the UN’s human rights, Cao Shunli was confidentially arrested at the airport and was then
severley persecuted for half a year whilst in detention.
Liu Xiaofang, a close friend of Cao Shunli’s confirmed to NTD,at 10am March 1 2014, Hospital No. 309,where Cao Shunli is being treated,notified her family members to urgently go to the hospital,because Cao Shunli is already in a deep coma and her life is now only maintained by a respirator.
Liu Xiaofang: “Suddenly her family were notified without warning,via a phone call: her status is in an emergency state, and that they should hurry to the hospital as soon as possible.Her younger brother then rang me and I went to the hospital.Now she is extremely weak.Her internal organs are dramatically fading with ascites (fluid in the abdomen) with very bad body indicators.Her life is completely maintained by medicine.
The time when her life can maintain, will depend on her life motivation."
Cao Shunli’s lawyer and relatives all agree that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) authorities have an inescapable responsibility.
Her lawyer Wang Yu says,Cao Shunli previously had a liver disease.After she was illegally confined by the authorities with the crime of “provoking quarrels and making trouble",the detention centre refused her application for a medical parole on many occasions.Furthermore, the medicine she brought with her to take,
were forcibly confiscated.This has lead to a dramatic change and aggravation
to her existing illness,eventually leading her to a status of close to death
and now in a severe coma.Then the detention center informed her family and unexpectedly urged her family to sign the medical parole as soon as possible.
Liu Xiaofang: “Previously, after the lawyer visited and interviewed her, the lawyer said her health was very bad.Then we submitted the application for medical parole,but failed. However, at such a critical moment,she laid down and entered in to a coma, then she was urged to have a medical parole.Apparently, they ( CCP) want to escape from the responsibility."
Mainland social activist Hu Jia:"The police informed us Cao Shunli was close to death and urged the application for a medical parole.You can see how shameful they are! When she was confined in the detention center,she was tortured without effective medical treatment and caring.Until she is close to death and struggling at the deadline,then she is permitted a medical treatment.At such a critical moment, the police tried to escape from all the responsibilities via a medical parole."
On Feb. 27, on the condition that Cao Shunli’s family refused to sign the medical parole, Beijing police still forced the decision of medical parole
for Cao Shunli, refusing to disclose the guaranteed identity.
Meanwhile, the news that Cao Shunli is now close to dying has been met with wide spread concern.Many appealers across the country voluntarily tried to
see Cao Shunlin in hospital, Unfortunatly they were all blocked, and placed under house arrest and confined by the authorities.
Liu Xiaofang: “There are many people outside of Beijing wanting to see her,
and the police are mobilized to intercept any visitors at the first line of defense when they arrive at the ward. They also use violence for that purpose. I witnessed more than 20 visitors with 7 or 8 policemen intercepting.
Before that, some Beijing local residents went to see her,and around a dozen of them have been confined.The so called crime they have committed is,’disturbing the public order of the hospital’."
On March 3 2014, more than 10 human rights lawyers,including Cao Shunli’s lawyer, published a joint public appeal letter,which required the Beijing police authorities, to at once release Cao Shunli and other visitors coming to see her,
to open the real diseased status to the public and investigate the legal representation of all relevant persons responsible for the persecution of Cao Shunli and friends.
Hu Jia also appealed that the current status and the persecution procedures of Cao Shunli,should at once be made known to relevant bodies, such as UN
Human Rights Commissioner and his members.To let them know, what lengths CCP will go to violate human rights in China,and that CCP is well and truly an enemy of human rights.
Hu Jia urged the CCP authorities to publish the truth of Cao Shunli’s status of being close to death.If there is no one held responsible for such an incident,
then similar incidents will uninterruptedly and more frequently occur again and again.
