Two Practitioners Tortured to the Point of Mental Collapse at the Shuanghe Forced Labour Camp in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province

Being a Falun Dafa practitioner, I have gone to Beijing to appeal to the central government to stop the persecution and to distribute leaflets exposing the persecution. Consequently, I have been put in prison five times and sent to forced labour camp three times. The final time I was held, I continuously shouted that Falun Dafa is good. I totally disregarded the police threats.

During the time I was in the Shuanghe Forced Labour Camp, which is in the Jianhua District of Qiqihar City, I witnessed two Falun Gong practitioners tortured to the point of mental collapse.

Practitioner He Chunhua from Suihua City, who had shared a cell with me, said only one sentence at a meeting conducted to slander Falun Dafa and "transform¹" practitioners. "You are wrong." Police immediately took her out and forced her to stand handcuffed to the headboard of a bed for days. A few days later, members of the Qiqihar’s Public Safety Bureau took her away. After a few months, she was taken back to the Shuanghe Labour Camp. Soon, she had a mental collapse. She was shackled in bed at night and forced to stand handcuffed during the day.

Another practitioner, Kong Linghua, could not bear the physical and mental torture. She was mentally traumatised and cried hysterically. Police took her out and injected her with some unknown drugs that made her sleep all the time. Later, I was assigned to the same cell with Kong Linghua. She was injected with different unknown drugs each day, causing long periods of sleep and lethargy. Her family was not allowed to visit.
