(Clearwisdom.Net)

The Victim's Background:

Name: Zhang Yonghong

Gender: Female

Age: 39

Education: Junior College

Occupation: Former enterprise accountant; was forced to quit due to having appealed for Falun Gong to higher authorities.

Mental illness history: None

The course of events leading to being kidnapped to a mental hospital:

Because I firmly practiced Falun Dafa and pedaled 900 kilometers to Beijing to appeal with two other Dafa practitioners by bicycle, the police and my former work unit's staff members sent me back to my former work unit. When a hospital vehicle came, I knew that the people in it were from a mental hospital. As the male doctor, whose last name was Liu, approached, I said to him, "You are doctors. You must observe medical ethics. I'm very normal and clear-headed. I absolutely have no illness. I don't need you." At that time, Doctor Liu said, "Your work unit's leaders and the police are all very concerned about you and want us to take you to the hospital for a check up. If you have no illness, you will be sent back." This was an obvious deception. I said, "It should be voluntary even for a check-up. No hospital should force people to see a doctor. I don't have any illnesses. I don't need a check-up." Doctor Liu then started dragging me. I struggled and resisted with all my strength. Later, the driver and Nurse Li came and pulled my hair, pushed me onto the floor, and then forced me into their vehicle and hauled me directly to the hospital.
