Cancer-Stricken 34-Year-Old Chinese Computer Engineer Dies After Being Denied Care in Private US Immigration Prison

August 20, 2008

Earlier this month, a thirty-four-year-old Chinese computer engineer, Hiu Lui Ng, who overstayed his visa, died in a Rhode Island immigration detention center. He had cancer in his liver, lung and bones, and a fractured spine. Despite repeated complaints of severe pain, Mr. Ng was refused independent medical evaluation by immigration officials. Before Mr. Ng died on August 6th, he told his sister that the nurses at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island had told him to “stop faking” his illness.

Alot has been happening on this front in the past few years. We do need people to watch the people who are watching us. Check out the blackcrosse blog. Hopefully the people running this site will keep up the good work. Im sure they will have plenty to write about after the upcoming republican and democratic conventions.

Speaking of the conventions, how about this? Gitmo on the Platte

One thing this news report forgot to mention, as reported by Democracy Now! This warehouse has no air conditioning.
