The Shocking Results from Searching "Unknown Drug" on the Internet -- Part 2
2005-12-12In Xuzhou Mental Hospital practitioners were tied to beds, given injections and force-fed unknown drugs. Medical staff members injected large dosages of unknown drugs. Immediately after the injections, we would lose consciousness. After some time, we regained consciousness, and then the medical staff would untie the ropes (used to restrain us).
