He had expressed satisfaction and gratitude for the prison’s conscientiousness, prompt provision of medical care and humane treatment of him while he was sick. 99. The Special Rapporteur also transmitted reports he had received of persons detained in a psychiatric hospital for political reasons, where no medical justification was said to exist for their detention. The cases summarized in the following paragraphs concern persons detained at An Kang Public Security Bureau Hospital in Beijing. 100. Wang Anxing was arrested on 3 June 1992 while attempting to unfurl a banner commemorating the June 1989 demonstrations at Tiananmen Square. He was transferred to An Kang in July 1992, where he was allegedly administered medicine that kept him drowsy and weak. Although he was said to have no psychiatric problems, his wife signed documents confirming that he did, after being pressured to do so and being assured that this would lead to her husband’s early release. 101.

Since he had no relatives in Shanghai, neighbourhood residents wrote to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau in April 1993 to seek help in dealing with him. The local police station, in collaboration with the neighbourhood committee, sent him to the Huangpu District Psychiatric Hospital, where he was found to be displaying symptoms of psychosis. Further tests revealed schizophrenia and paranoia. On 11 May he was transferred to An Kang, where he was continuing to receive treatment. 104. Xing Jiandong was arrested by police on 7 September 1993 in connection with a peaceful demonstration outside the Australian Consulate and transferred to An Kang.
