Chinese-Australian writer Yang Hengjun fears he could die of kidney disease in a Chinese prison if he does not receive proper medical treatment.

Mr. Yang was told by Chinese Ministry of State Security personnel last week that he had a 10-centimetre cyst on a kidney, yet no immediate options for treatment were available.
