My Harrowing Experience of Being Injected with a Harmful Drug by China's National Security Personnel
2004-05-25"After I was arrested for practising Falun Gong, I went on a hunger strike for one month to protest the illegal persecution, and later I was sent to a forced labour camp.

Personal Account of Persecution in Shanghai
2004-05-24"In August of 2001, because of printing Dafa banners, I was arrested by the police and brought to the Yangpu Detention Centre.

Each cell measures less than 16 square meters [approximately 160 square feet]; excluding the pit-type lavatory, the area for sitting and sleeping is very small. With more than twenty inmates detained in a cell, fights broke out every day; very often we would be awakened in the middle of the night by the noise of fighting and shouting due to someone's loud snoring or arguments from inmates trying to get more sleeping space." -
