KSLA INVESTIGATES: Family talks of son's near decade in Chinese prison

Nelson Wells Jr. has been imprisoned in China for nearly 10 years, and now, his Bossier family says they've suffered in silence too long.

China does not play when it comes to drug trafficking....not saying hes guilty....but China will execute for offenses that we wouldn't here....Human rights is not exactly a priority. You can't go to other countries and expect to be treated like here. China does not care and i feel for the family...but you have to know and be very very careful about what you do.

Prayers up, Believing for a safe return 🙏 Stay strong family ❤

Blessed Father, Take control of this situation. You are the God of the impossible

This is very sad.. I lived in Bossier City for a few years, full of good people. God be with this family. 🙏🏻

It s doesn’t matter Chinese or foreigners if you are with drugs you will be imprisoned.

What the hell was he even doing over there?

[southfieldtrill]

He had no business over there in the first place. smdh

[jasonlopez]

Why is it the republican only trying to get him out. Where is all the Democrats thay didn't show One. This don't sound too good. What is the point of going to China.

[tums]

Obama Administration should have handled this. But why was he there? That is one country i would never visit

[thetreekeeper]

Nah, I reckon he did drugs. I've been to China a dozen times, never had a single issue.

I only feel sorry for his dad and mom. Let the Japanese wife help him. Passport Bro thought it was better over there - no what?
