Ms. Liu became paralyzed from the waist down and incontinent in less than six months. When she was taken to the hospital on March 8, 2013, after losing consciousness, the doctors didn’t even know how to treat her and they refused to admit her. So Ms. Liu was released on bail and taken home to recover. She told her family that the police even made her pay for the ropes that they used to torture her.
