• My Experience of Having Abnormal Physical Reactions in Wuhan City Women’s Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province

  2011-07-04
  When I arrived at Wuhan Women’s Forced Labour Camp on September 30th, 2009 guards demanded that I write a guarantee statement to renounce my belief. I refused. Shortly after lunch on my third day there, I suddenly felt severe pains in my head, as if it was about to explode. I shivered from head to toe, as if my internal organs were shaking and my heart was about to drop out. I couldn’t stop vomiting and had difficulty urinating. I was unable to stand, sit or walk steadily, and there was an immediate increase in my blood pressure. My hands and feet became stiff. My vision became blurred and my responses were very slow. Very often I didn’t know where I was, what time it was or even if I had eaten. I lost my hearing and my hair quickly turned white. My family members are very worried about my condition, and suspect that I was poisoned.
