We were injected with unknown drugs as soon as we arrived. The drugs made us feel ill, flustered, and agitated. At night, the doctors ordered us to lie in bed all night long without moving.

A Belated Mother's Day Wish
2011-05-25Mother was arrested and imprisoned three times for exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. For many nights I cried for mother in my dreams, and when I awakened, tears were all over my face. Every time I telephoned the forced labor camp, my request to talk to mother was rejected because she refused to be transformed [forcibly renounce Falun Gong]. I couldn't write to her or visit her. Later, I found out that they had tortured her into a state of disability. Early in 2009, I went to the forced labor camp to see her. When the heavy gate slowly opened, I was disappointed to see a policeman emerge instead of my mother. After a long interrogation-style conversation, the policeman still did not let me see mother. -

My Seventy-Year-Old Mother Sentenced to a Twelve-Year Prison Term and in Critical Condition
2011-05-24During the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Ms. Gao Deyu, my 70-year-old mother, didn't renounce the practice. She was sentenced to a 12-year prison term on September 14th, 2010 by the Xichang City Court. She was transferred from the Liangshan Detention Centre to the Longquanyi Women's Prison on April 10th. Two days later she was in critical condition. Apparently, she did not meet the "four requirements" when she was taken there, as her blood pressure was far too high. Within a few days of staying at the Jintang Prison Hospital, one of her teeth was knocked out. Her hands, arms, legs, and thighs were bruised as a result of beatings, and they extorted 5,000 yuan from her family.
