• 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. However, the labour camp refused to accept me due to my poor physical condition as a result of the hunger strikes. Failing to put me into a forced labour camp, the national security department sent me to a hospital. In the hospital, they gave me an injection of some unknown drug. About twenty minutes later, my bones started aching. Meanwhile, I felt depressed and wanted to shout, but no sound came from my throat. I was in sheer agony, feeling as if I was being stabbed by needles and burned by fire all over my body."

• 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. In order to isolate Dafa practitioners from each other, each prison cell only holds one practitioner while the rest of the inmates are criminals who have committed various crimes. 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."
