Methods Used to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners at Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp - Part I (Re-Enactment Photos)

Over the past few years the guards at Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp have been using extremely cruel types of torture to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. In addition to various torture methods they commonly use to torment inmates, they have invented new barbaric torture methods specifically targeting Falun Dafa practitioners. Demonstrated below are some of these torture methods that they have used against the practitioners.

Torture method No.1: Forced brainwashing with a practitioner sitting on a small chair

Figure 1	Figure 2

Figure 3

Guards cuff a practitioner's hands behind the back and to a bed frame. While kept in this position, some guards monitor the practitioner, some guards read slanderous articles directly to the practitioner, and others stick ear buds into the practitioner's ears and increase the volume of the tape player in order to force the practitioner to listen to the slander. If the practitioner sleeps or simply closes their eyes, the guards will brutally beat and shock the practitioner with electric batons. After twenty-four hours of torture in this way, the practitioner feels enormous pain. Their four limbs will be numb and the ears will be ringing. In particular, some practitioners collapsed mentally and were unable to stand up after this torture.

Torture method No. 2: Dead person's bed

Figure 6

The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an ice-cold metal bed with the practitioner lying on the bed on his back. The practitioner is unable to move and deprived of food, water, and toilet use. This treatment usually lasts from several hours up to more than a dozen days, making the practitioner unable to walk or move afterwards because the whole body is numb. This type of cruel torture causes severe damage to the practitioner both mentally and physically.

Torture method No.3: Torture of spreading the body

Figure 11	Figure 12

A practitioner is forced to stand up, with the arms stretched out and tied to the metal bars of the bed and the legs spread apart. The guards and some criminal inmates (under the instruction of the guards) take turns beating the practitioner, kicking the practitioner's abdomen, forehead, back, face and mouth. They also smash chairs on the practitioner and burn the practitioners' fingers with a cigarette lighter. Some practitioners have lost teeth, had their eardrums broken, suffered severe burn marks on their fingers or had deformed fingers after the torture. With this method, the guards tortured practitioner Jia Jingwen and broke the handcuffs. They kicked practitioner Li Zhongjie's mouth and made him unable to close his mouth for a very long time. With the same method, Guo Weibin, Ma Jiuqing, Shen Chuang, Jiao Zhihua, and An Qingzhong beat practitioner Li Zhongjie and Zuo Zhongyou for over an hour, and caused them to feel indescribable pain in their organs.

Torture Method No. 4: Stuffing the body under a bed

Figure 13	Figure 14

A practitioner is handcuffed along the horizontal bar of an iron bed. With the body bent, the back and hips are forcefully stuffed under the bed. Tortured with this method, a practitioner suffers tremendous pain. Some have their backs injured without being able to stand up.
