As of February 24, Changchun Falun Gong practitioner Liu Jingxin had been subjected to 40 days of brainwashing in the "Re-education" Section of Jilin Prison. The mental and physical duress were intense. An insider exposed Liu Jingxin's condition, revealing that. "Prison guards had used the 'Fixed Bed' (1) torture on Liu Jingxin. His condition is deteriorating."

Before February 16, Liu Jingxin's family members received a phone call informing them that he was being restrained and tortured on the "Stretch Bed". When they visited him on February 16, the agents and guards who supervised the visit monitored him very strictly. The monitoring guards had electronic gadgets hanging from their necks which looked like recording equipment.

When Liu's family visited him on February 1, they found he looked completely different due to his poor physical condition. His skin was pallid and his eyes lifeless. He was thinner and his left arm had become clumsy. From January 4 to February 1, the prison authorities continually tried to force Liu Jingxin to give up his belief by subjecting him to extreme mental pressure and intensive rounds of torture for 12 days. A prisoner recently released shared that Li Yongsheng of the Re-education Section of Jilin Prison once said, "There are two ways to carry out the re-education: one is to talk to you and the other way is to physically torture you. Both are just different ways of re-educating."

The "Stretch Bed" and "Fixed Bed" are extremely vicious torture techniques. There are three steps involved in the "Stretch Bed" torture:

Step 1: A person's four limbs are bound to the four corners of a hard bed

Step 2: Once the arms and legs are bound to the bed, the body is lifted high in the air and stretched in all four directions, causing severe pain

Step 3: After the body is lifted and stretched, a rolled up quilt is forced under the body to hold it in the stretched position. The body is then continuously stretched in four directions and then the body is also pressed down to cause the maximum pain.

Mr. Liu Jingxin, 32, is good, honorable man. He was a former employee of the Changchun R&D Institute of Biological Products. He started practising Falun Gong in 1994 when he was a university student. He worked after graduation and many people knew that he was a good man. On March 11, 2002, agents from Xi'an Police Station arrested him at work. He is in poor health as a result of the severe torture. He has difficulty tending to his daily needs with two swollen and painful feet. He cannot sleep properly during the night. After his detention in the Tiebei Detention Centre for over a year, he was sentenced to a three-and-a-half-year term.

The "Fixed Bed" torture uses reinforcing bars (rebar) that have been fixed onto a board. The practitioner's body can then be twisted between these bars. The practitioner's hands or legs are pulled apart in the upper sideways or lower sideways positions. When the police pull the practitioner's body to the extreme, they will tie it in a twisted position. At the same time, the police put sticks, bowls, cans, bottles etc., between the body and the board. Finally, they completely suspend the practitioner's body in midair. As time passes, the practitioner experiences extreme pain, since all his joints are at awkward angles. Extreme pressure is put on their joints and ligaments are torn. This is a very terrifying method of torture.
