Despite a New "Mental Health Law," Falun Gong Practitioners Still Illegally Held in Mental Hospitals in China
2013-05-31
While the regime is touting the Mental Health Law, Falun Gong practitioners are still being persecuted in its mental hospitals. The new mental health law is thought by many to be a bluff by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to quell suspicion of wrongdoing. Throughout its history, the CCP has frequently made positive statements while actually committing outrageous crimes behind the scenes. This latest smokescreen is no exception. -

Savage Acts of Torture at the Tiantanghe Women's Forced Labour Camp in Beijing
2013-05-28I was detained at the helllike Tiantanghe Women's Forced Labour Camp in Beijing. Regardless of age, all prisoners had to do a required amount of farm work, shovel snow on cold winter days, remove grass on hot summer days, etc. Many didn't have the physical strength required and fainted while working. We were forced to pack green beans, tea leaves, children's clothes, sugar, stamps and books into boxes – each of which weighed over 50 kilograms (110 lb). The boxes of books were particularly heavy, so loading and unloading them onto trucks was especially difficult for elderly practitioners. A seventy-year-old woman didn't know how to put together a paper box. She was punished by having to sit on a bench for days until her legs turned purple. -

Tortured in a Mental Hospital and Labour Camp, Professor Wu Xiaohua's Whereabouts Unknown Since 2010
2013-05-28During the year she was detained in the mental hospital, doctors pushed electric needles into Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wu Xiaohua and subjected her to electric shocks many times. Because she refused to cooperate with them, she was bound to the bed with five straps for several days. Every day doctors connected the electricity and ran a current through her, stabbing her taiyang acupuncture point with an electric needle, causing the nerves in her entire body to spasm. She was in great pain, and it felt as if her hair was being pulled out of her scalp. When she was given electric shocks, they tied her to the bed and Li Wan, the doctor in charge, threatened to increase the voltage if she did not cooperate. -
Head Nurse: Atrocities in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Cannot be Denied
2013-05-28I was twice detained at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp and I subjected to cruel persecution there. Four of the people interviewed by the author of “Walking out of Masanjia” were detained in the same team with me.

I was subjected to severe persecution, including being deprived of sleep, beaten, stretched, hung by handcuffs, and forced to do hard labour. -
