• Ms. Li Guiling Suffers Mental Collapse After Being Injected with Unknown Psychiatric Drugs at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp

  2008-04-10
  In July, 1999, the Jiang regime [Jiang Zemin, former leader of China and instigator of the persecution] began a brutal persecution against Falun Gong and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." In 2000, Ms. Li Guiling travelled to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Gong and was twice imprisoned in a detention centre. In 2002 she was sent to a brainwashing class for persecution. For refusing to write the so-called guarantee statements to give up practising Falun Gong, she was sent to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp, where she was injected with unknown psychiatric drugs and suffered a mental collapse. Only after Zhang Sinan extorted 2,000 yuan from Ms. Li's family did they release her. After returning home, she could not recognize anyone and would hide whenever she saw anyone.

• Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Province No. 1 Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2008-04-09
  From my own experience, I knew that imprisonment in a forced labour camp was just like entering a demon's den. Besides insolent guards, there were one or two inmates assigned to monitor and torture practitioners. The inmates cooperated with the guards to carry-out brainwashing, involving instilled falsehoods and absurdities, in attempts to force practitioners to "reform." If these measures were counter productive, the guards would strike out by themselves. For example, division head Sun Juan would kick the older practitioners' naked calves with her shoes on. If you asked, "Isn't beating people not allowed here?" She would answer flagrantly, "Is this beating you? What I did was to educate you." She often declared openly and shamelessly, "We often denigrate you practitioners or even beat you. Why don't we do the same thing to passers-by on the street or others but only to you? It is because we love you."
