Disturbing Accounts of Brutal Acts Committed Against Falun Gong Practitioners in Liaoning Province

In 2000, police authorities mobilized more than 100 officers to arrest Dafa practitioners. Ms. Wang Yan was one of those arrested. The police tortured her for two days and one night. Her head was swollen; her face and neck had turned a terrifying black colour from being shocked with electric batons. Her hands were also extremely swollen. Over a dozen policemen took turns beating and kicking her. Her entire body was covered with painful wounds. For two days and one night, the cruel police enforcers didn't give her any liquids. Then they sent her to the Benxi City Forced Labour Camp for three years. She was expelled from the Party membership and her salary was suspended.

Wang Yan's daughter Zhu Yiqian, a middle school student, was also illegally detained after returning from appealing for Falun Dafa in Beijing. Police chief Wang Lixian ordered his subordinates to tie Zhu Yiqian, a defenceless child, to a long bench by her wrists! They shocked her face, eyes, and ears with electric batons, and did not allow her to use the toilet. Several policemen tortured her for an entire day, and she lost control of her bladder.

In addition, with my own eyes I saw police chief Wang Lixian shock the face of Dafa practitioner Ms. Wen Lijuan with an electric baton. Her face suffered many blisters that took a long time to heal. Maliciously, Wang Lixian told her, "I will beat you if you keep practising."

Just because he refused to stop Dafa cultivation, Dafa practitioner Chang Xianlu was tortured and forced to run in the hallway with shackles and handcuffs until he was exhausted. Xu Yanbo, Deputy Secretary of the Political and Law Committee in Henren County, and Wang Lixian, Police Department Chief, personally tortured practitioners. These human beasts beat and shocked them and put them on the "Dead Person's Bed"[1] and used all kinds of other torture methods.

Xu Yanbo and Wang Lixian also unlawfully arrested practitioners. According to preliminary statistics, they have sent more than 160 practitioners to a forced labour camp. They also illegally searched their homes, monitored and followed them, and spread rumours and lies. They also kidnapped and tricked numerous Dafa practitioners to a brainwashing class operated by the forced labour camp. Wang Lixian and the chief of the criminal division personally tortured female practitioners and caused them severe physical injury.

[1] The "Dead Person's Bed" or "Big Letter Board": This torture method is what I myself have witnessed. It is used to torture practitioners who are on a hunger strike to protest and who do not yield to any unreasonable demands. Practitioners who are on hunger strike are tied to the "Dead Person's Bed" so that their hands and feet can't move. Jail guards and prisoners force-feed them using the "feeding through the nose" method. Many practitioners have lost their lives from this torture.
