I just listened to a segment on NPR a few hours ago about Wang Wanxing, a Chinese political activist. Forcibly detained in a Chinese mental institution for 13 years, Mr. Wanxing was recently released and examined by European Forensic Psychiatrists who deemed him mentally sound and falsely hospitalized. I have written several diaries about my own forcible detention and hospitalization by the FBI in Atlanta, Georgia. As disturbing and wounding as that experience was, my ordeal wasn't as torturous as that of Mr. Wanxing.

What I find most disturbing about her account is the journalists comments at the end of the article: Read More

How do you go on when your human rights have been violated by the country known internationally as a beacon of democracy and civility? If anyone knows how please tell me, because I am struggling everyday.

First, you walk around in a state of shock, a state of disbelief. You don't eat or sleep well, you constantly look over your shoulder. You struggle daily with anger and emotional exhaustion. People listen to your experience sympathetically, including family. They express their condolences. But how can they understand?
