Repeated Torture Causes Practitioner Ms. Zhou Wenli from Shijiazhuang City to Suffer a Mental Collapse

Zhou Wenli worked at Ouyi Pharmaceutical Company of Shijiazhuang Pharmaceutical Group in Hebei Province. She was twice taken to a brainwashing centre where she suffered severe torture and sleep deprivation. Subsequently, she has suffered a mental collapse and has been hospitalized many times.

Ms. Zhou Wenli is about forty years old. In the summer of 2002, she was sent to what was called a "Hebei Province Law Education Training Centre" ( a brainwashing centre). During this time, her employer was required to send two colleagues to monitor her 24 hours a day. Zhou had to pay for these two people's salary and other expenses totalling about 3,000 Yuan (1). Zhou Wenli was humiliated and deprived of freedom and sleep for at least eight days. She was forced to watch propaganda that denounced Falun Gong and forced to write a statement of "guarantee" to stop her practice of Falun Gong.

Later, her work unit learned that she still had not given up Falun Gong, so they dismissed her. Then they forced her into the brainwashing centre again. Even before the session ended, she had been tortured to the point that she suffered a mental collapse and was sent to a mental hospital. The medical expenses amounted to 8,000 Yuan and her work unit only paid 1,000 Yuan. After she recovered, they still did not allow her to work. Later Zhou Wenli was repeatedly hospitalized due to mental trauma.

In addition, the two other practitioners, Huang Huawei and Sun Jinghong, who worked in the same workshop as Zhou Wenli were also taken to the brainwashing centre. Ms. Huang Huawei (around 45 years old) was forced to promise not to practise Falun Gong and Ms. Sun Jinghong (around 40 years old) was forced to leave her home to avoid further persecution. Ms. Sun's husband, an army doctor, was also targeted. After he retired from the army, the local government refused to arrange work for him. Before Sun Jinghong left home, her work unit had decreased her salary to only over 200 Yuan per month. According to the latest information Sun Jinghong has recently been arrested and again forcefully taken to Hebei Province brainwashing centre. Her current whereabouts are not known. Her husband has sustained enormous pressure while having to take care of two children.
