(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Guogang is from Linhai City, Liaoning Province. He has developed a mental disorder as a result of abuse in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Male Camp No. 1. He stays up all night, his eyes are dull, and he has severe memory loss. Mr. Li was healthy and had no mental issues before being persecuted. According to his symptoms, his family and friends suspect that he was either injected with or ate food laced with drugs that destroy the central nervous system.
Torture reenactment: Injection with unknown drugs
Mr. Li was very healthy after he started practicing Falun Gong. When the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal and was consequently sent to illegally imprisoned for one year.
On July 18, 2010, as he was riding his bicycle home from his night shift, officers from the Domestic Security Division of the police department in Linhai City, along with Tian Shuang, deputy director of the Youwei Police Station, waited for him at Dalinhe Bridge. Mr. Li was taken to the Domestic Security Division for interrogation and later to the Linhai City Detention Center. After 15 days of illegal detention, he was taken to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Male Camp No. 1, Brigade No. 3, where he was further maltreated.
A year later, on July 18, 2011, Mr. Li returned home. Five days later, he started to behave abnormally. At around 3:50 a.m., Mr. Li told his sister, “There is a strong smell of people eating and I can't stand it. I need go out for a walk.” His sister said, “Come back soon, don’t stay out too long.” In less than five minutes, Mr. Li returned and said the same smell was outside. He opened his mouth and shouted, “Ah, ah” a few times. Then he fell down, spit something out his mouth, lost consciousness, and started convulsing. (It was about 40 minutes between the time he starting convulsing until he regained consciousness. He was actually unconsciousness for about 15 minutes.) From 4:10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., he did the same thing four times and also lost control of his bladder.
Mr. Li’s family took him to Dalinhe Hospital. There they checked his blood, gave him an ECG test, and x-rayed his brain. From the blood test results, he was diagnosed with encephalitis. The other two test results were normal. After staying in the hospital for three days, Mr. Li improved slightly, so he returned home.
Mr. Li's condition got progressively worse once he was home. He lost control of his bowels. He no longer remembers his way home if he goes out. He makes no sense when he speaks, and he eats three meals in less than seven hours. He often throws a fit and no one is able to calm him down.
On September 7, 2011, Mr. Li’s daughter took him to the Jinzhou City Hospital for further examinations. The doctor decided to do an MRI, but Mr. Li had uncontrollable convulsions. The doctor gave him sedation three times, which had no effect. Unable to do an MRI, the doctor could only look at the x-ray image, and determined that Mr. Li’s central nervous system had been infected. After a ten-day stay in the hospital, Mr. Li did not improve. The hospital expenses were 1,000 yuan per day. Unable to afford this expense, Mr. Li’s daughter took him home.
Mr. Li’s behavior has since deteriorated even more. He stays up all night, his eyes are dull, and he doesn’t remember anything. He speaks illogically about past events. There is no one at home who can take care of him, so he has been taken to Baiyang Elderly Care Center in Linhai City.
