A Brief Report of the Incident:

Since July 1999, doctors at the Yantai Psychiatric Recovery Hospital in Laiyang city, Shandong province, have been treating and unethically administering drugs to dozens of Falun Gong practitioners. Ms. Xie Shuling was sent there in October 2000. The amount of the drugs administered to practitioners was five times more than the amount given to other patients. They used this method to destroy practitioners' nerve centers and cause serious harm to practitioners both physically and mentally. Some became too weak to walk, some were not able to sleep, some was not able to control the severe shaking in their bodies, etc. Doctor Wang in the hospital said: “We know you are not mentally ill, what we want is to stop you from appealing for the right to practice Falun Gong.” They also overcharged practitioners for their medical expenses.

Around March 10, 2000, practitioner Mr. Sun Yansheng was sent to this mental hospital because he practiced Falun Gong. Yansheng was a worker at the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine. His employer told his family that Yansheng had been sent to a seminar, but he was actually committed to the mental hospital. Gong Yuzhu, the Chief of the hospital, and Ding Yuanlin, director of the 6th Ward agreed to commit Mr. Sun Yansheng to the hospital, even though they were fully aware that he was not mentally ill.

Ms. Wang Weijie was sent to the mental hospital in March 2000. She was forcibly injected and force-fed a large amount of drugs every day, which made her very weak and lethargic.

There were seven female practitioners imprisoned in 2nd Ward, and five practitioners in 3rd Ward. Known practitioners were Ji Yan, Huo Xufen and Wang Jinglun.
