Torture Method 10: "Digging out the root"

Figure 40	Figure 41

Figure 42

The practitioner must cross his legs into a double lotus position, and then his body is forced to the ground with the face down. The practitioner's arms are then twisted behind his back and pulled as much as possible toward his head. One of the guards then steps on the practitioner's arms, while another one steps on his back, and a third guard steps on his neck. Then, the guards beat the practitioner's back with a wooden stick. Inmates also participated in torturing the practitioners.

Torture Method 11: Hitting the sides

Figure 43

A guard grabs a practitioner's neck from behind and pulls him back without warning. Then two inmates beat the practitioner's sides with their fists.

Torture Method 12: Force-feeding

Steps of the torture are:

Figure 44

1. The practitioner's arms are fixed on the armrest of an iron chair, and placed inside iron rings. His legs are kept in place by leather strips and iron rings. The upper part of the body is tied to the back of the chair with leather stripes. Thus the practitioner is tightly fixed to the chair. See Figure 44.

2. Should the practitioner refuse to cooperate, the prison doctor pinches and hurts the practitioner's face (the parts below the cheekbones). The guards use the handle of a screwdriver to hit the practitioner's face and to force his mouth open. See Figure 45.

3. Should the above method fail, the prison doctor uses a pry instrument that is 1-foot-long and 1.5-inch-wide to open the practitioner's mouth (Figure 46). The doctor also may use pliers to open the practitioner's mouth. After the mouth is opened, the pliers are left inside the mouth pressing against the throat. This causes breathing difficulties. The front teeth become loosened or may fall out due to the prying. A lot of blood flows from the mouth. See Figure 46, 47.

4. Force-feeding. The guards insert a tube about as wide as a finger through the practitioner's nose into the stomach. As a form of torture, they insert and pull out the tube repeatedly until the practitioner suffers excruciating pain and his whole body convulses. They then force-feed horrible smelling stuff to the practitioner, not as a nutrient, but as a form of punishment.
