The following stories come from five Falun Dafa practitioners from Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, who have been drugged while held in detention centres, forced labour camps, or prisons. In order to "reform1" the practitioners as soon as possible, officials secretly injected the practitioners with all kinds of unknown drugs and mixed drugs into their food and water. As a result the practitioners have felt drowsy and tired; have become incapable of walking; have been speaking and moving slowly; have suffered a decreased ability to respond and memorise; have suffered damage to their organs; etc. Some sleep all the time and their thinking is disordered, having been mentally and physically traumatised. The authorities' tricks are very sinister and evil, their purpose being to destroy.
1) Mr. Lu Songming, 35 years old
Because he practised Falun Dafa, Mr. Lu Songming was sentenced to five years of imprisonment in 2000. While being held at Chishan Prison in Hunan, he was force-fed over a dozen times. During the force-feeding, an person called "Fatty Xiong" kicked his belly and even sat on it. "Fatty Xiong" threatened to "get him" many times. Mr. Lu Songming slept heavily over ten hours each time after force-feeding. He felt tired and old, and his chest felt like a big piece of iron plate. When touched, it would hurt and he could not work. He was very weak when he was released, but he himself didn't know why. One night he heard a voice say: "It's because you have been filled with toxins." He recalled how he felt muddle- headed before--when he was in prison--and had slept for dozens of hours and knew his condition was caused by what was done to him in Chishan Prison.
2) Mr. Peng
Personnel from the 610 Office2 arrested Mr. Peng on January 18, 2001. The officers forcefully fed him some unknown toxin, and the resulting pain made him roll back and forth. When they sent him to the detention centre, he was totally disfigured, black and blue and swollen all over. He couldn't even be recognised.
Mr. Peng was subjected to all kinds of tortures after he was arrested by the Xiangtan 610 Office on January 18th, 2001. On winter nights, they poured cold water on him and then made him lie on the ground for a few hours. They squashed his toes with the leg of a chair and forced him to kneel on the ground. In August 2001, Mr. Peng walked away when they were taking him to court. He remained homeless until they caught him again in March 2003. The officers from the 610 Office broke one of his legs in an unlawful interrogation and he still walks with a limp. They sentenced him, and now he is in Jin City Prison. He was monitored by five inmates day and night.
3) Ms. Xu Ailian (also called Ms. Xu Shao'an)
Ms. Xu used to be very healthy and well built. Baimalong Forced Labour Camp authorities persecuted Ms. Xu until she became mentally disordered. The camp had someone mix toxins with her food and then force fed her. Ms. Xu had bloody stools for about eight days after she ate the doctored food. The drugs damaged her brain and caused her problems in thinking, remembering, and communicating normally. The labour camp authorities feared being held responsible for her and had her family members take her home. She was sent to the Shebu Town Senior House of Xiangtan County. Ms. Xu refused to eat any food there. She thought the food was poisoned. She wouldn't even let her visitors drink any water in the Senior House. She wouldn't go to sleep at night and always asked to leave. Zhou Youqi, the head of Senior House, beat her for four nights in a row and made people hate Falun Gong.
4) Liu Heqing, 33 years old, of Yisuhe Town, Xiangtan County
Before the "Two National Conferences," the authorities constantly harassed practitioners without reason. On February 25th, 2006, the National Security Team and Yisuhe Town Police Station suddenly sent over a dozen people to the home of practitioner Mr. Liu Heqing, who works at the Xiangtan County Crank Factory. They ransacked his home and arrested him. On the morning of February 26th, they sent Mr. Liu to the mental hospital in Xiangtan City. There they shackled him and forcefully injected him with unknown drugs that damaged his central nervous system. A good, healthy person was persecuted as if he were a mental patient by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) thugs; they injected him with toxins just to make him sleep. The doctor found out later that Liu Heqing was mentally healthy but still did not let him leave, saying that he could leave only after the "Two Conferences" ended.
5) Ms. Xu Yanjun, employee of Xiangtan Power Plant, 25 years oldBecause she practised Falun Dafa, the Security Division of the power plant arrested her and detained her for 15 days in December 1999. When the authorities were not able to "reform" her, they transferred her to a mental hospital and persecuted her as a mental patient for two and a half months. They forcefully injected her with medicines everyday, damaging her health both physically and mentally.
After three months of detention, she was sent back to the power plant under special surveillance and fined up to 10,000 yuan3. She went to Beijing to appeal at the end of June 2000, but was arrested by the Security Division of the power plant and sent to a detention centre. She was detained for 15 days. When she would not write the guarantee statement, they detained her for 15 days more. They then transferred her to Xiangtan City Detention Centre for 30 days of detention, and the Security Division extorted 3000 yuan from her. Once they released her back to the power plant, the plant authorities held her for several days again and forced her to write the "guarantee statement." Just a few days after she went back to work, the police department took her away again for no reason and sent her to Baimalong Forced Labour Camp.
