A University Lecturer and Steel Factory Worker Are Abused for Upholding Their Belief While Held in Mental Hospitals (Clearwisdom.net) Case 1, Xinjiang Engineering Institute (now part of Xinjiang University)
Lecturer, Ms. Li Xianghong, is Abused in a Mental Hospital Xinjiang Engineering Institute lecturer, Ms. Li Xianghong, went to Beijing to
appeal after July 20, 1999, and was abducted and taken to the Fourth Peoples'
Hospital (a Mental Hospital) located in Wulumuqi City, by authorities from the
Xinjiang "610 Office"(1) to receive mandatory "mental
treatment." She was forced to receive various drugs without her consent and
underwent psychological abuse for persisting in her belief in Falun Dafa. She
was confined within a group of patients who had diagnosed mental illness. Due to
the abuse she received, she could not speak normally, and was frequently abused
and insulted by some male mental patients. Her situation, totally ignored by the
hospital staff, was later witnessed by visiting Falun Dafa practitioners in
August and September of 1999. Later, the hospital learned that the visitors were
also Falun Dafa practitioners and refused their request for a second visit, out
of fear of exposing their criminal treatment of Ms. Li. Ms. Li Xianghong is now illegally sentenced to an 11-year prison term (or a
12-year term as indicated by another source) and is currently detained in
Xinjiang Women's Prison (Xinjiang No. 2 Prison). Case 2, Dafa Practitioner Liu Anhong, of Xinjiang Bayi Iron & Steel
Group Company Is Mentally Abused Mr. Liu Anhong is a worker of the Xinjiang Bayi Iron & Steel Group
Company. Due to his hunger strike against forced labor and illegal detention and
because of his continued practice of Falun Gong, he was chained onto a bed for
over four months at the Xinjiang Changjie Forced Labor Camp. He was force-fed
daily and beaten by prison guards Gu Jianhai, Ning Tao and Tian Hu. The other
prisoners were punished for Mr. Liu's protest and had their merit scores reduced
and prison terms extended to incite their hatred against Mr. Liu, so, they also
beat him. After Mr. Liu's release from the Changjie Forced Labor Camp in 2002, he was
forced into the Wulumuqi No. 4 Peoples' Hospital (Mental Hospital) by
authorities with the Xinjiang Autonomous Government "610 Office" and
Bayi Iron & Steel Group Company's "610 Office." He was forcibly
injected with drugs and forced to take pills that damaged his nervous system.
After over three months of treatment, Liu Anhong's nervous system was severely
damaged, resulting in lack of facial expression and slow brain activity. In
August 2003, Liu Anhong was illegally sentenced again to a labor camp for
telling the public the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa and is now held
in Xinjiang's Changjie Forced Labor Camp. Some doctors at the Wulumuqi No. 4 Hospital unconditionally followed the
orders from the Wulumuqi Police Department authorities and persecuted Dafa
practitioners through drug injections and psychological torture. Their conduct
was totally unethical, immoral and is in violation of law and common
professional medical ethical standards. Up till this day, there are many mental
hospitals that directly participate in the persecution of Falun Dafa
practitioners at the order of Jiang's political group. Here we strongly appeal
to international human rights organizations to pay attention to this ongoing
persecution toward Falun Dafa practitioners in China. We, Falun Dafa
practitioners in Xinjiang and all kind people invite the World Psychiatric
Association, World Psychiatric Congress, World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong and other international organizations to come to
Xinjiang and investigate the above mentioned and other persecution cases of
Falun Dafa practitioners. Mailing address of Wulumuqi No. 4 Peoples' Hospital: Jianquan Street, Wulumuqi City, Xinjiang Province, Postal code: 830002 Former president: Song Ying, left the post in 2003, currently is president of
