2004-10-13"My name is Zhang Beiqi. I'm a resident of Jilin Province. I am currently held at the Antu Detention Centre.

I have to depend on others and have to lie down at the detention centre day and night, and live a life not fit for a human. Therefore, I am struggling every day, more dead than alive.
