57-Year-Old Woman is Left Paralysed from Torture in a Chongching City Mental Hospital

Dafa practitioner Wei Hua from Chongqing City was arrested and forced to stay in a mental hospital by the local Chinese Communist Party secretary Yu Fulin and others, under the pretext that she had a mental disorder. In the hospital, Ms. Wei was tortured until the left side of her body was paralysed. She is now emaciated, has difficulty speaking, and is incontinent. She is in great pain and her health condition is precarious.

Ms. Wei Hua, 57 years old, is retired as a staff worker at a Xiejiawan department store. Ms. Wei started to practise Falun Gong in 1996, and benefited greatly both in body and mind. However, for her persistence in practising her belief, Ms. Wei was sent to a forced labour camp for two years. From 2001 to 2003, she was subjected to brainwashing and persecution in the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing.

Wei Hua always explained the truth of Falun Dafa with her own experience to the police and related authorities and reprimanded them for their crimes of persecuting Falun Gong. During the period of time when she was persecuted in the brainwashing class, Wei Hua went on a hunger strike to protest against the persecution and did not cooperate in any way with the brainwashing attempts.

On October 18th, 2005 , the secretary of the neighbourhood security office in Xiejiawan, Yu Fulin, and Yang Zhixue from the brainwashing centre, forced Ms. Wei's husband, Liao Linfu, to sign an agreement to send Ms. Wei to a mental hospital. They used the pretext that she had a mental disorder, even though she was perfectly healthy. Those involved in this case included Yu Fulin, Yang the head of the department, Du Zhaojun, the director of the neighbourhood committee, workers in the Xiejiawan department and two public health workers. When she was sent to the Shipingqiao branch of the Jiulongpo Mental Hospital (formerly named the Employee Hospital of Mine Machinery Department), Yu Fulin said to the doctor, "She is a Falun Gong practitioner. She was detained in the forced labour camp for a year and a half."

After that, Liao Linfu went to visit his wife many times. She always looked very normal, so he asked to bring her home. However he was refused by the authorities. On October 22nd, 2005, Liao Linfu once again went to the hospital, and saw that Ms. Wei's mind and body both were very normal. He felt relieved and went out of town to work.

Unexpectedly, only three days later, on October 25th, the hospital suddenly informed Wei Hua's family of her critical health condition and urged the family to pick her up as soon as possible. Ms. Wei's fourth sister went to the hospital that night, saw that Ms. Wei was not fully conscious, and could not recognise anyone. She was also unable to speak, was in and out of consciousness, had been vomiting, had diarrhoea, a fever, was breathing with an oxygen tank, and was connected to a catheter. The Chongqing 120 hospital refused to take her, thus the family could only take her home.

Later, the family went to the hospital and asked for the prescription that the doctor had given Ms. Wei, in order to understand what had happened to her. However, the family were refused rudely by the the head nurse. The persons in charge of her case who gave the diagnosis and treatment were head of the department, Yang, and Dr. Liu. Facing the family's questions, the head nurse answered, "When you picked her up that day she was perfectly fine." These people committed the crime, nonetheless they denied it.

Now Wei Hua's left half of her body is paralysed, she has difficulty in speaking, and her left hand is clenched like a fist. She incontinent, is emaciated, and because she has been lying in bed for so long, her bedsore has festered into a hole. She has suffered these extremely painful conditions for ten months.
