  • The Jiang Regime Tortured Me Until I Was Permanently Disabled

    During her stay at the camp, my over-60-year-old mother suffered from a heart attack. Finally, the labour camp had to release me. By now, I had been permanently disabled and could not walk anymore. I could not even get up from the bed. A female inmate carried me on her back on my way out. To add to the terror, a police officer pointed to me and said, "You are still breathing?" They just wanted to kill me to silence a witness. The eleven-month long inhuman torture caused me to be emaciated and fragile. My hair had turned completely white. Everyone who saw me said, "How did they turn a healthy person into such terrible shape?"

When her relatives and friends came to visit her, they could not even recognise her. Furthermore, prison guards forced her to stand in front of a big mirror and insulted her.
