Additional Information Regarding the Persecution of Practitioner Mr. Yu Shaoqi fromHuaihua, Hunan Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Agents from the Huaihua City Politics and Law Committee, from the 610 Office, the National Security Bureau, and from the county National Security Division conspired together to harm Mr. Yu Shaoqi. On December 5, 2006, they ordered officials at the county Politics and Law Committee, the county 610 Office, personnel from his work unit--the Huaihua City Weather Bureau--and his parents to take him to the Huaihua City Mental Hospital, also called No. 4 People's Hospital. They threatened to arrest Mr. Yu if he was not taken to the mental hospital. In the day time, an official and a young weather bureau employee tried to take him to the mental hospital by force. Mr. Yu freed himself with the power of his righteous thoughts. He returned home in the evening. The head of the weather bureau and the Disciplinary Inspection Committee secretary called the 610 Office. They together abducted Yu Shaoqi and took him to the hospital.

The day after he was taken to the mental hospital, officials from Chenxi National Security Bureau turned his office in his work unit upside down.

Another Falun Gong practitioner was held at the Huaihua City Mental Hospital prior to Yu Shaoqi. The hospital staff treated Mr. Yu as a "special patient" and forced him to take medications four times a day, although he was completely healthy and normal. They force-fed him the drugs if he refused to take them. During the force-feeding the medical staff grabbed his hands and feet. They pried his mouth open, pinched his nose, and poured the pills and water down his throat. Mr. Yu Shaoqi was able to leave the hospital due to the support and rescue efforts from other practitioners and from his family, but he is now mentally affected. His arms and legs are weak, his feet often tremble, his eyesight is blurry and he drools constantly. It was said that the medication he was given was for mental patients and had long-term effects (most likely a drug that damages the nervous system) that resulted terrible in side effects.

The officials from the Huaihua City Politics and Law Committee and agents from the 610 Office ordered the mental hospital to report Yu Shaoqi's condition to them every two days and weekly. The National Security officials claimed he had written more than 300 articles that were published on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and used this as an excuse to persecute him. Mr. Yu held many hunger strikes in the mental hospital. He was given injections, force-fed through a tube, and hog-tied and manhandled. He was also locked in a solitary confinement cell. His parents frequently petitioned the Huaihua City 610 Office and the Politics and Law Committee in person and demanded their son's release, but the officials gave them a hard time. They forced his parents to write guarantee statements [on Yu Shaoqi's behalf] and extorted 6,000 yuan from them for "medical expenses" before they agreed to let Yu Shaoqi go home.
