[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Song Xiangzhen's Mental Health was Jeopardized by Torture.

Song Xiangzhen, a 57 year old female practitioner, lives in the Tiexi District of Shenyang City, within the jurisdiction of the Shi'erlu Police Substation. She appealed for Falun Dafa on October 15, 1999 and was illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp for one year. In April 2000, she was detained again in the local police substation. She held a hunger strike, protesting against the illegal detention. A month later, she was released. In July of the same year, she was arrested again and sent to a mental hospital, where she was persecuted to the point that she became mentally disordered. She is now unable to speak or eat. She was released; however, in October she was arrested again. She held a hunger strike for nearly two months. During the detention, she was injected with medicine that can damage the nervous system. Her family members carried her home when the officials thought that she was ready to die, and released her. Currently she remains mentally disordered due to the abuse.

[Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province] A Female Forced Labor Camp Tortures Falun Dafa Practitioners

The Shaanxi Female Forced Labor Camp formed a so-called "reeducation assistance group" which is made up of incarcerated criminals. The group was established to aid in brainwashing Falun Dafa practitioners.

The police refused to uncuff a practitioner so that she could use the restroom. She had to remove her pants with the handcuffs on. The handcuffs cut into her flesh deeply. She was kicked and hit while in the washroom.

Practitioners who had declared their previously-written "statement of transformation" to be null and void were hung by their handcuffed wrists by police. The police wanted to force them to give up their belief again. Some of the practitioners who are very steadfast are not released when their terms expire.

In addition, police in Xi'an City coerced and threatened practitioners into writing a so-called "Guarantee Statement"* renouncing Falun Gong. If they failed to comply they were sent to a brainwashing center for intensified persecution. The Xi'an National Security Bureau also arbitrarily searched practitioners' homes and arrested practitioners. Some practitioners were illegally detained in the No. 1 Detention Center in Xi'an City.

Because of this, she was illegally detained over a year and then sent back to her hometown and separated from her husband. In her hometown of Henan Province she was constantly watched by police. Later, along with her mother, who is also a practitioner, she returned to Beijing. In February of 2002, the local police department in Henan Province arrested her and her mother, using the excuse of security for the "Two Conferences."
