• 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."
