One day in May 2003, the police abducted me as I was walking on the street. When I was sent to the police station, I firmly refused to cooperate with any of their commands. They tied me to a "Tiger Bench." It was past midnight when the perpetrators forcibly sent me to a detention center. In the detention center I discussed with other practitioners and we decided to hold a hunger strike.

Several police officers surrounded us and kicked and beat us. They pulled my arms behind my back and stepped on me so I could not move, and then they violently jerked my arms upward. It was extremely painful. I shouted, "It's a crime to persecute Dafa!" Then, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors. When they finally stopped I could not move my arms. My whole body ached. When the freezing wind blew on me I couldn't help shivering. I thought I must persist and not let the evildoers achieve their goal.

On the seventh day of my hunger strike they force-fed us. Every time they tried to feed us we shouted, "Falun Dafa is good! Treating Dafa with kindness is good and persecuting Dafa is a crime." Six or seven of the police officers pinned me down and they inserted a tube through my nose. The tube would not go in. They became exasperated and used their best effort to insert the tube. My esophagus and the area above it was torn from the violent movement of the tube and I bled profusely.

The police officers ordered inmates to force-feed us three times a day. When this happened I used every opportunity to tell them the truth. Many of them learned the truth. Once, all inmates who stayed in the same cell with me shouted in unison, "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa has been wronged!"

More than two months later they sentenced me to three years of forced labor. I sent forth righteous thoughts on my way to the hospital for the physical exam, thus I did not pass it. With Master's protection and with help from fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts, I walked out of the labor camp in an open and dignified manner with righteous thoughts, and I immersed myself back into the current of Fa-rectification.

Xiong Wei was a student at Berlin's Technical University. Since January 2002, she has been illegally detained at the Xinan Female Labor Camp in Beijing. During the first week in September, for the first time Dafa practitioners in Germany and Israel held a joint rescue activity. They called the labor camp and related government agencies together at certain time(s) of the day.
