"Hanging a Barrel" -- A Torture Method Used by the Dalian Police to Persecute Dafa Practitioners (Illustration)
2004-06-28
"Later, the police drove me to a remote location to continue to abuse me. They found some hard and strong nylon rope that is used specifically for the boating and fishing industry. They suspended the rope from a roof-level heater pipe and hung me up, with both arms tied, and poured water over my face. The police then located two plastic rectangular "barrels" full of water, each able to hold about 40 to 50 jin [approximately 45 to 55 lbs.]. They said, "Since your are female, we will fill them slightly less." I was tired and in pain, carrying two barrels of water which weighed almost 100 lbs., across my shoulder." -

Brutal Torture Methods Used on Falun Dafa Practitioners at the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp (Illustrations)
2004-06-25The iron cage at the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp is about 1.5 meters tall, 70 centimeters in width and about 1 meter in length. A person is unable to stand up straight. He must bend his back and lower his head. The police guards handcuff the practitioner's hands to the top of the iron cage; therefore the practitioner can neither stand straight up nor squat down. One can only do a half squat. It does not take long for the muscles to be stressed and sore in this excruciatingly position. The practitioner is handcuffed and held in this position 24 hours a day. -
The Atrocities Committed Behind the Walls of the Nanmusi Female Forced Labour Camp

They transferred any remaining money to the labour camp itself. After deducting a physical exam fee, a labour camp uniform fee, a so-called "rental of living necessities" fee (for bed sheets for example), and other expensive costs, the labour camp deposited what was left of our money into an account. -

Behind the Pleasant Facade: Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured and Used as Slave Labour at Labour Camp in Henan Province
2004-06-20From the outside, the No. 3 Forced Labour Camp in Henan Province is a pleasant looking place. Officials will tell you how well the prisoners are treated and how the staff "educate inmates, use persuasion to help the inmates change, and how the inmates are remedied." However, insiders and the people that have been held there have an entirely different view. From a folk rhyme that is circulating in the area, we can get a sense of what the place is really like. "The Labour Camp is a demon's training barracks. I'd rather spend three years in jail than one day in the No. 3 Forced Labour Camp." -
Getting Out of Police Station With Firm Belief and Righteous Thoughts
2004-06-19"When I returned home on February 18, 2004, there were many policemen there. They confiscated many Dafa truth-clarification materials. Then, they forcefully took me to a Police Station in Qinhuangdao City. Police sergeant Wang said "It's time. Take out the rope." An officer gave him a piece of thin, green plastic rope. He said, "This rope is covered with many practitioners' blood." Two policemen constantly hit my arms. Wang yelled, "Tell me where you got the materials!" I replied, "I picked them up somewhere. I don't know anyone." The other policemen stopped hitting me. Wang called out, "Release her."
