The Horrors Existing in the Jiaozhou City Psychology Rehabilitation Hospital
(Clearwisdom.net) The special rapporteurs on "The Question of
Torture and Detention" of the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC),
Sir Nigel Rodley and Professor Fan Bowen, condemned the large scale torture and
mistreatment of Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang's regime. In their annual
report, the persecution of three Falun Gong practitioners at Jiaozhou City
mental hospital was mentioned, as follows: On April 25, 2000, Xu Yanzhong, a villager from Zhaojiayuan Village, Fuan
Office, Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province was arrested and sent to Jiaozhou City
mental hospital for practicing Falun Gong. He was tied up and forced to ingest
orally administered drugs and receive injections for the following 10 days. It
is alleged that he suffered physical and mental mistreatment as well. As a
result of the drugs, he became weak all over his body, had difficulty in opening
his eyes, and began suffering from anxiety and depression. Ms. Kuang Bencui was an employee of No. 3 Shoe Factory in Qingdao City. On
February 14, 2000, she was arrested on her way to Tiananmen Square and sent to
Jiaozhou Liaison Office in Beijing. Then, she was sent to Jiaozhou City mental
hospital to be persecuted for her belief in Falun Gong, as she had no history of
mental illness. During her time at the mental hospital, she was forced to ingest
orally administered drugs and receive injections. When she refused since she was
not ill, two men seized her arms, pinched her nose, and drove a chopstick
between her teeth to force-feed her with pills. She was force-fed three times a
day, with the dosage being increased from one tablet at a time to six tablets at
a time. Ms. Tan Guihua, another employee of No. 3 Shoe Factory in Qingdao City, was
arrested in her home on September 12, 1999, and taken to the mental hospital.
Officers from her work unit, as well as from the Politics and Law Commission,
conducted the arrest. At the hospital, she was given an injection. As a result,
she felt dizzy and sick, her heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly, and she lost
consciousness. In the time period that followed, she was forced to undergo
electroshock therapy on seven occasions even though she was not mentally ill.
After another drug injection, her menstrual cycle stopped, she had a lot of
trouble focusing her eyes, and she had dulled reactions. A few days later,
another drug was added to the injection. After being given the second drug, Ms.
Tan's body began to suffer from violent tremors for the following 20 days. At
the time of her release, she suffered from memory loss, had problems speaking,
her eyes were dull, and her reactions had slowed down significantly. The above facts have been recorded in official documents of the UNHRC,
published, and listed on the homepage of United Nations Office of the High
Commissioner For Human Rights. However, the information available there is not
complete, and there are at least 40 other Falun Gong practitioners suffering
from similar persecution at Jiaozhou City mental hospital. Since the persecution of Falun Gong was begun by the Jiang's regime in 1999,
Jiaozhou City mental hospital is now been renamed the "Jiaozhou City
Psychology Rehabilitation Hospital," as ordered by former Jiaozhou City
seccretary Zhang Yuanfu and the Secretary of the Politics and Law Commission Liu
Zuojin. Its methods are very brutal, and many people have been persecuted there.
The hospital is perhaps among the top centers used for the persecution of Falun
Gong, when compared to other similar mental hospitals. Falun Gong practitioners
detained there are strictly isolated, not allowed to be visited by families, and
are forcibly drugged with toxic substances that detrimentally affect the central
nervous system, until their so called "transformation" is achieved.
Only then will the Assistant Secretary in charge of politics and law work and
the Politics and Law Commission authorize the release. Doctors and nurses are often called "white angels." What do the
above-mentioned cases of persecution say about these particular doctors and
nurses' methods and purpose? When the Jiaozhou City Politics and Law Commission
personnel mass arrested large groups of Falun Gong practitioners and sent them
to the mental hospital against their will, the medical workers' role changed.
Both doctors and nurses in the hospital have violated their professional ethics
and oaths, compromised their conscience, and tarnished the sacred status of
being a medical worker that is so respected by people.
