A Brief Report of the Incident:

On Dec. 16, 1999, the Beijing Fangshan Chengguan Police Station arbitrarily sent more than 52 Falun Gong practitioners, whom the police had arrested merely because they practiced exercises of Falun Gong, to Zhoukoudian mental hospital, without any legal or medical procedures. According to authorities, practitioners were held in custody so that they could not protest during the return of Macao to China. And each of them had to pay 800 to 1000 Yuan (about two months wage for an ordinary worker in China) for “expenses.” The police officials made the decision when to release them from the mental hospital. Some of these practitioners underwent the agony of being forcibly injected with drugs, including powerful muscle relaxants, which wrecked their health and left them with permanent bodily damage
