A Brief Report of the Incident:

On November 20, 1999, Practitioner Zhao Huimin, together with a couple (Tian Zhao and Qin Mingying), went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong. After being arrested and escorted back, the water and the power services to Zhao's home were cut off. Later, against their wishes and the wishes of their family members, Zhao Huimin, Tian Zhao, and Qin Mingying were sent to the Yantai Psychiatric Recovery Hospital by the authorities of Laiyang city and Xizhibo Village. In the hospital, Doctor Li Tao and Doctor Wang forcibly injected them with drugs that could damage their central nervous systems. After receiving injections for eighteen days, the doctors also forced them to take pills. The injections and pills continued until they were released. Zhao Huimin started twitching and foaming at the mouth. The hospital staff ignored these symptoms, and the forced injections continued. The village committee notified the practitioners that they needed to pay for all of their own medical expenses. The officials of Xizhibo Village, Sun Guiqing, Zhang Zhaoyi, Liu Jianhui and Jiang Zhihui, all participated directly in the persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners. They personally sent the practitioners, who had gone to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong, to the Yantai Psychiatric Recovery Hospital.
