A Practitioner's Sufferings in Mental Hospital

Organized Crimes against Humanity: the Sufferings of a Practitioner in a Hospital for Mental Illnesses in Jining City, Shandong Province

Note from Editor: Falun Gong has brought tens of millions of people mental health, inner peace, and spiritual purity. However, the Chinese communist regime is throwing many innocent practitioners into hospitals for mental illnesses, and is destroying them mentally and physically by forced injections. We urgently appeal to all kindhearted people around the world to stop such organized crimes against humanity.

I am 22 years old. On October 25 when I heard that the Chinese government defamed Falun Gong as an "evil religion", I felt very sad. Falun Gong teaches clean living and high morality. How could the government treat Falun Gong like that? I thought that a handful of politicians were attacking Falun Gong and deceiving the government in order to fish for political capital. Therefore, I went to Beijing to appeal to the government with a kind heart. However, I was arrested and escorted back to my hometown on my third day in Beijing. I was first given 15 days of detention. Later the official of the detention center found a copy of Zhuan Falun when body-searching me and wanted to seize it away from me. I risked my life to protect the book. Then, on the seventh day of my detention, I was sent to the hospital for mental illnesses in Jining City, Shandong province. In the following, I will reveal to the world how they tortured me in the mental hospital. We do not have any mental problems. I was sent to the mental hospital because the authorities wanted to destroy me mentally in order to prevent me from practicing Falun Gong and striving to be a better person under the guidance of Falun Gong.

To get me into mental hospital, the police department forced my father and the officials of my workplace to sign on the statement saying that I had mental problems. They then kidnapped me into the mental hospital. On the afternoon when I was sent in, four male doctors carried a very thick rope and forced me to put on the uniform for the mental patients. When I was changing clothes, a female doctor gave me an injection. I struggled desperately, but the four male doctors tied me to a bed with that rope. They gave me a lot of injections. In a short while, the medicine started to take effect. I tried my best to control myself but I could not stand well. I felt extremely anxious. I felt very uncomfortable, and I felt very thirsty. I bumped against the wall and the ground anxiously. I thought of death. Later the doctor gave me another injection. I fell asleep. On the second day, my head became a blank. I felt headache and I fainted. I could not think about anything. My legs and arms had no strength. I felt stiff in my tongue, which always stretched out like being pulled out by something and I could not pull it back. I also felt stiff in my neck, which stretched forward to an extreme extent. However my main consciousness could hardly control these movements. Being like this, I could not eat at all. Therefore, they fed me through my nose. The nurse said this was the way to persecute the members of "an evil religion". Later, my nose started to bleed. They had given me nine injections in total.

On my third day in the mental hospital, they forced me to take perphenazine. In the beginning, they only fed me one pill. Later they fed me 4 to 5 pills because I practiced Falun Gong. The symptoms of taking perphenazine were the same as being injected. I had suffered the inhumane mental and physical tortures like this for 36 days. Now the Jining mental hospital has become a place to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. There are still many practitioners being detained there. I hope the international communities and all the kind-hearted people around the world could pay attention to our sufferings.
