1. Mrs. Zou Ruxiang, 53 years old, a staff member at the Nitrogen Fertilizer Factory in Pingjiang County, Yoyang City:"In February of 2000, I went to appeal for Falun Gong in order to clarify the truth to the government. The police illegally kidnapped me on the way and held me at Pingjiang Detention Center for a month. After I was released, the personnel from the police department, the local police station, and the political and legal agencies frequently came to my home and disturbed my normal life. Finally, they kidnapped me to a brainwashing center.
"In order to avoid any further such harassment, I was forced to leave home. During that time, Pingjiang County Police Department extorted 10,000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] from my husband. In 2001, I went back to Pingjiang County and temporarily lived at another practitioner's home in the Town of Wukou. Officers from Wukou Police Station illegally arrested the practitioner, his wife, and me and sent us to Pingjiang Detention Center.
"Several days later, the police from Pingjiang County Police Department illegally sent me to Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou. In this camp, the police forced us to watch video programs slandering Falun Gong day and night. They tortured us with sleep deprivation, standing, kneeling, high-volume noise, and shocks from electric batons and ordered the inmates to beat us.
"I went on a hunger strike in order to resist the evil persecution. They put a bamboo tube with a sharpened tip into my mouth and force-fed me, breaking two of my teeth. Upon seeing that I still would not give up my belief of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," the police forced me into the Zhuzhou City Second Mental Hospital.
"Several police officers held me down on a bed, tied my four limbs with thick bandages, and gave me intravenous fluid with a neurotoxic drug. For more than 40 days, I was tied to the bed without eating or drinking. My body was soaked in feces and urine. I was in alternating states of coma and consciousness and finally totally lost consciousness. The police kept giving me the toxins the whole time.
"In June of 2002 when my husband came to pick me up, I did not know who he was, I was blind, my four limbs were numb, and I was not at all coherent. According to my family members, I lost all of my memory and did not even know how to eat or drink. I was terriblely skinny with a rotten and filthy odor emitting from the area of my back and buttocks. I weighed about 60 lbs. There was blood coming from my mouth and my breathing was very weak. My family members brought me home and took good care of me. It took me several months before I gradually regained coherency and the ability to eat. I still could not remember all that had happened. With the help from other practitioners, I started to study the Fa and practice the exercises. I am trying my best to recall the persecution that I suffered, and tell the facts to the world."
2. Ms. Zou Wenyu, a teacher at Qiaodong Elementary School in the Town of Nanjiang, Pingjiang:"When Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, I went to appeal in accordance with the law. On February 29, 2000, the police from Pingjiang illegally arrested me at the appeals office and held me for more than 80 days at the detention center. They extorted 10,000 Yuan from me and suspended my salary.
"In October of 2000, I was illegally sentenced to one and half years in Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou. In July 2001, because of the severe torture I was subjected to in the labor camp, my vison started to deteriorate, and by September 2001 I was completely blind. I lost sensation in both of my legs; my whole body was swollen and painful; I lost the ability to take care of my own day to day needs and was almost completely incapacitated.
"In April of 2002, seeing that I was dying, the police told my family members to take me home in order to avoid responsibility for my death. After I arrived home, the personnel from "610 Office" [a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] continued to harass me at home. With the help from other practitioners, I persisted in study the Fa, practicing the exercises, and clarifying the truth. I have now basically recovered. In February 2003, the police from Yuping Police Station kidnapped me and confiscated 1,100 Yuan and a Dafa book from me. They illegally sent me to a detention center for more than 20 days."
