Ms. Wang Xiulian Suffers a Mental Breakdown Due to Torture in Zhangjiakou City Brainwashing Centre

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Xiulian from Huai'an County, Hebei Province has been tortured to the point of mental breakdown at the Zhangjiakou City Brainwashing Centre.

Ms. Wang Xiulian is 59 years old and lives in a village in Zuiwei Town, Huai'an County, Hebei Province. After cultivating Falun Gong, her illnesses have all disappeared. This experience of hers led her faith in the practice to be rock solid. When the persecution began, she would not give up cultivating Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance, and was therefore locked up in Gaoyang Labour Camp. In September 2004 she was sent to the Zhangjaikou Brainwashing Centre, located in Yangtai Village. Besides forcing her to watch videos every day that were filled with lies, guards Zhang Youai, Yang, Liang, and Hou abused her continuously. They would not give her anything to eat, and punched and kicked her.

In one incident, Yang, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Zuowei Town Official, cursed Ms. Wang Xiulian. Ms. Wang tried to avoid the onslaught by going to the laundry room to do laundry, but Yang chased her to the laundry room. Yang proceeded to beat Ms. Wang so hard that her head hit the edge of the sink, causing the left side of her face to swell and bruise. Guards made fun of her injured face.

Ms. Wang Xiulian was already quite thin from the torture and inhumanity she endured, but Wang Haiying (female, another CCP Zuowei Town Official), still failed to give food to Ms. Wang Xiulian if "she did not feel like it," forcing her to starve. One morning Ms. Wang Xiulian shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Guard Hou beat her viciously, while cursing at her.

Due to the long-term mental and physical damage, Ms. Wang Xiulian is now suffering from a mental breakdown. She often talks to herself, crying and laughing, wears yarn or toilet tissue in her hair, and so on. She was so healthy before the persecution, and followed Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, but now her situation is tragic and pitiful.
