• Prominent Teacher Persecuted in Mental Health Centre

  2010-07-09
  My name is Hu Keling and I am 46 years old. I was a teacher at the Laixi Experience Middle School in Qingdao City, Shandong Province. Because I practised Falun Gong, after being arrested in 2002, I was detained in the Mental Health Centre of the Laixi Second Hospital. I was injected with harmful drugs and almost became psychotic. I started a hunger strike in protest, and I was force-fed. The persecutors tied my hands and feet to the bed and held my body down using a strip of cloth across my chest. They inserted a tube down my nose into my stomach. To further torture me, nurses intentionally moved the tube around in my stomach. It was very painful. My knuckles on both hands are still enlarged and deformed today.
