  • The Persecution I Suffered at Shayang Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province

    On the evening of September 30th, 2003, I was sitting in meditation. Suddenly a group of policemen rushed in from downstairs and frantically knocked on the door. My husband asked, "Why are you making an arrest?" The police simply did not pay attention to him. They arrested me and another fellow practitioner and took us away in a police car. On the third morning of my detainment, the police opened the cell door. They brutally handcuffed us and pushed us on a tour bus. After getting off, a nurse gave us injections. We asked, "What’s this?" "Vaccine," was her reply. (Actually it was a drug that impairs the nervous system). Two practitioners lost consciousness right away. I was transferred to hospital for force-feeding. I almost suffocated to death.

Generally they put drugs in water and regular meals, but sometimes they inject brainwashing drugs into particular foods or even fruits. The drugs will take effect in about half an hour. The main symptoms are headaches, dizziness, protruding eyes, sleepiness (some practitioners feel sleepy after over 10 hours of sleep per day and are still lethargic) shortness of breath, chest pain and irritability.
