Wanchun Mental Hospital Administers Drug Overdoses and Electric Shock to Break Falun Dafa Practitioners' Will

On July 19, 2002, a female Falun Dafa practitioner, Chen Jinhua, was kidnapped from a detention centre and taken to the Wanchun Mental Hospital by Arms Department Chief Hu Dongxiang and Yu Xiuyun, the Director of the Woman's Federation. Another female Falun Dafa practitioner, Yang Chongyu, who is an officer at the local tax bureau, was sent by her workplace to the same mental hospital where she was also severely persecuted.

(Supplemental information: On July 3, 2002, both Chen Jinhua and Yang Chongyu were kidnapped and taken to the Nanmusi Forced Labuor Camp in Zizhong. Chen Jinhua failed the physical exam and was re-sentenced to serve her term outside of jail. However, she was sent to the mental hospital again for further persecution by the Hesheng Town government.)

In the hospital under heavy guard, they were forcibly administered psychotropic drugs three times every day. If they refused, they were given injections of large doses. After these injections, they would remain in a drugged state the entire day, semi-conscious and unable to move. Or they would be subjected to electric shock treatments, which would also make them lose consciousness. The hospital didn't allow the two practitioners to talk to each other. One day while they were talking with each other, the doctor dragged Yang Chongyu away for electric shock "treatment" and then dragged Chen Jinhua to see Yang Chongyu's alarming appearance after the electric shock - her face green, her lips black, her whole body unable to move.

The doctor said Chen Jinhua had a lung problem and forced her to take medicine and an intravenous infusion. Chen Jinhua resisted, but the doctor immobilized her with restraints to forcibly give her the intravenous infusion and force-feed her if she didn't take the medicine.

The hospital didn't allow Chen Jinhua to do the exercises. If she did, the doctor and the nurses would order other patients to restrain her.

When Hu Dongxiang sent Chen Jinhua to the hospital, he told the person in charge: "Do not allow anybody to see her except her two younger brothers." He also said not to let her brothers bail her out until they had signed a contract with the town government.
