(Minghui.org) A woman in Yunmeng County, Hubei Province was twice injected with unknown drugs during her 12-day detention at a brainwashing center for her faith in Falun Gong.

Ms. Yang Sanxiang, a home aide, was working at her employer’s home at around 3 p.m. on August 25, 2026, when six officers from the Shuilu Police Station suddenly broke in. She refused to go with them, but they dragged her into their cruiser.

After being taken to the police station, Ms. Yang sat on the ground in protest. The police dragged her into another cruiser and drove her to the Hujindian Brainwashing Center located at the local Sanyatou Farm. The facility has been used to detain and attempt to transform steadfast Falun Gong practitioners in recent years.

A woman who was paid 600 yuan per day watched Ms. Yang closely. She threatened her, “Another elderly woman was disobedient and we knocked her teeth out and fed her feces. She later became ‘smart’ and was soon released home.”

The woman monitor claimed that Ms. Yang could do the Falun Gong exercises. When she did, the monitor called in six young men. They forced her to stand motionless until 10 p.m.

When Ms. Yang refused to renounce Falun Gong, the woman monitor called in the same six men to slap her in the face. She went on a hunger strike in protest the next day.

On the fourth day of Ms. Yang’s detention, the woman monitor threatened to send her to a mental hospital if she didn’t resume eating or sign an already-prepared statement to renounce her faith. Two brainwashing center staffers came the next day and promised to release her as soon as she started eating again. She demanded unconditional release, and they left.

On the sixth day of Ms. Yang’s hunger strike, she was tied onto a bench and given unknown IV injections by some doctors and nurses. Three days later she was given another three bottles of unknown IV injections.

After each IV session, Ms. Yang felt extreme discomfort, with her bones hurting so much that she was unable to fall asleep at night. Any slight movement also caused her to be out of breath.

On the 12th day of Ms. Yang’s detention, the brainwashing center notified her child to pick her up. They ordered her to sign some paperwork, but she refused, and they had her child sign on her behalf. One staffer threatened her to not reveal what happened to her at the brainwashing center.
