A Haughton family has not given up the fight in bringing their son home from China.
Nelson Wells Jr. has been in prison for a little over a decade now. And with his upcoming birthday on July 11, his family is trying to keep his spirits up. But there could be a bigger hurdle to climb considering the strained relations between the U.S. and China.
Wells’ family is hoping this doesn’t stand in the way of finally bringing their son home.
Another birthday spent in a foreign country and behind prison walls, Nelson Wells Jr. continues to suffer serious medical issues while in a Chinese prison.
“Well to be honest, his condition has not improved at all and his mental state is pretty much the same as it has been. They have changed his medication several times to try to help him sleep and to try not to have as many seizures as he does, but what I can say is this,” said Nelson Wells Sr.
