(Clearwisdom.net) I was arrested in 2003 after informants reported me to the police. Officers from the Yong'an Police Station and some from the Jiamusi City Police Department took me to the detention center. My child was not even ten years old, and my husband had died several years prior. Being left at home alone unattended, my child was mentally traumatized.

I was injected with drugs that damaged my central nervous system. Suddenly I started losing my memory, and I could not move my arms, legs, hands or feet. I could not even recall what my child looked like. My whole body was paralyzed, and I could not see anything clearly. Even in this physical condition, the authorities went ahead and sentenced me to three years in prison. But the prison officials refused to admit me since I was paralyzed.

After an examination, it was confirmed that I was suffering from neuropathy in the peripheral nervous system. Rejected by the prison officials, I was held for over a month after being taken back to the detention center. My family strongly demanded my release. They asked the police authorities how they could have abused a healthy person to such an extent. The authorities could not come up with any answer and let me go.

I could not take care of myself due to paralysis. My child had to go to school, and we didn't have any source of income. My family members went to the 610 Office, the Forced Labor Reeducation Institute, and the Political and Judiciary Committee to ask them to release my younger sister, who was being unlawfully held in a forced labor camp, so that she could take care of my child and me. However, the officials at these organizations referred to each other, and none was forthcoming with any affirmative answer.

My sister has been sent to a forced labor camp twice since 1999, spending over five years there. She has suffered all kinds of inhumane torture in the labor camp simply for refusing to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. She can also not take care of her own daily needs, and remains in a very weakened condition. When she stands, both her legs shake. She can only move her arms.
