  2007-08-07
  Practitioner Ms. Huang Shuyuan, 59, was forcibly arrested, taken to Chengdu Detention Centre, and then to Qingyang District People's Hospital after she went on a hunger strike to protest her unjust detention. Every day, the hospital staff forced four or five different kinds of intravenous drip into Ms. Huang. If she resisted, the guard would cuff both of her hands to the headboard and raise the head of the bed so that when she slid down, the handcuffs would cut painfully into her wrists. At the same time, they administered intravenous drips into her leg. The handcuffs became tighter and tighter from the pulling of her body weight. The numbness in Ms. Huang's fingers and arms lasted for months, and she had trouble picking up items.

Finally, they handcuffed me and put me in a car. I asked them, "Who are you?" One of them said, "I'll tell you when we get there." He never did. They tried to wrap my head in some clothes but failed because of my struggling. In the following month they tried to coerce me to "reform." Some read Falun Gong books to me out loud and deliberately twisted the teachings in an attempt to confuse me; some talked about various religions, some showed me official documents in an effort to prove the persecution of Falun Gong is based on the law, and some threatened to sentence me to a prison term from between five years and 20 years if I did not give up my belief.
