Some Falun Gong practitioners have been sent to hospitals for mental illnesses. The police do even inform their family members. It was said that some had even been injected with medicines that would result in amyotrophy (muscle damage). As a consequence, after they are released, they will look like mentally ill patients even though they are not. Or more seriously they will have to stay in bed forever.
This is unbelievably vicious! The Chinese communist regime is taking all possible evil means to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
