My Experience of Having Abnormal Physical Reactions in Wuhan City Women’s Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province
2011-07-04
When I arrived at Wuhan Women’s Forced Labour Camp on September 30th, 2009 guards demanded that I write a guarantee statement to renounce my belief. I refused. Shortly after lunch on my third day there, I suddenly felt severe pains in my head, as if it was about to explode. I shivered from head to toe, as if my internal organs were shaking and my heart was about to drop out. I couldn’t stop vomiting and had difficulty urinating. I was unable to stand, sit or walk steadily, and there was an immediate increase in my blood pressure. My hands and feet became stiff. My vision became blurred and my responses were very slow. Very often I didn’t know where I was, what time it was or even if I had eaten. I lost my hearing and my hair quickly turned white. My family members are very worried about my condition, and suspect that I was poisoned. -

A Young Couple's Journey: Zhou Xiangyang's Fiancee Appeals Seven Years for His Release
2011-06-30I submitted my love story to Zhiyin magazine for publication. Initially the magazine was interested in my story, but then quickly changed their mind after they learned why my fiance was being persecuted. I met with my fiance Zhou Xiangyang only three times before he was sentenced to nine years of imprisonment. Over that time I have waited and appealed for him for seven years amidst much pressure from both society and our families. Soon I too was arrested and sentenced to a forced labour camp for fifteen months for appealing for my husband. My fiance was tortured in many heinous ways over a period of four months. His feet were shackled to a metal ring, his hands were cuffed to shackles on the concrete floor, and he was shocked with electric batons continually for days.
