A Brief Report of the Incident:

In the period from late June 2000, to late August 2000, 11 Falun Gong practitioners from Shouguang city, Shandong province went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. After they were arrested by the Beijing police and taken back by the County Government, they were forcibly sent to the Beiluo mental hospital and experienced inhuman torture there for 64 consecutive days.

They were detained with mental patients, and didn't see sunshine for 64 consecutive days. Every day, they endured extreme physical torture. Doctors and nurses tied them to their beds, and injected them with debilitating drugs three times per day. The practitioners were injected with one drug, Dongmianling (hibernation magician), which is supposed to be used only on patients with severe mental illness. They were also given a drug that can damage the central nervous system. After taking this drug, one goes into a drug induced stupor and cannot stand up. The practitioners were unconscious for a long period, and had symptoms of vomiting and nausea. Their faces were swollen and pale. They were badly beaten for refusing to be injected with drugs. To force-feed the drugs, the doctors even inserted pipes into their noses and pried open their mouths and teeth using chopsticks. As a form of punishment, they vigorously moved a chopstick back and forth inside their mouths. Many practitioners' mouths were full of blood. Their family members were not allowed to visit them, and they were isolated from the outside world. These normal people were treated as if they were mentally ill. The doctors even said: “This hospital is the No.2 detention center!”

After miserably torturing the practitioners for 64 days, Beiluo mental hospital extorted 3,000 RMB from each of them. The county extorted 21,000 RMB from practitioner Sang Xiulian. Li Jianmei was sent to a labor camp.

In July 2000, Ms. Liu Hairong, a graduate student at a university, went to Beijing with her mother to appeal to the government to stop persecuting Falun Gong. She was arrested by the police in Beijing and returned to the authorities from the city of Shouguang, Shandong province. She was detained by the police of Shouguang city and later confined in the Beiluo Mental Hospital where she suffered inhuman torture for 64 consecutive days. After the injections, she fell into a state of semi-consciousness and was unaware of her actions. She could not stand up. The drug dosage largely increased after officials from her hometown came to the mental hospital to “visit” her. The university expelled her.
