    When I was detained at the Heizuizi Women's Labour Camp, I watched with my own eyes the completely inhumane, brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhu Xiyu.

Sometimes when she returned from the labour camp clinic, her face was covered in blood, and she had a tube inserted into her nose. Later I heard that Zhu suffered a mental breakdown.
