Beijing Policemen's Brutality: Stripping Female Practitioners Naked, Putting Them In Snow, Burning Their Private Parts with Cigarettes
2004-05-21
"One practitioner who was interrogated during the daytime on the second day was a girl about 20 years old. After she came back from interrogation, her clothes were messed up and her hair was dishevelled. She seemed to have changed into another person, and she was seriously hurt physically and mentally. I asked another practitioner what had happened to the girl, and she said, "The police took off all of her clothes and forced her to sit in the snow for 2-3 hours. The most evil thing was that the policemen ordered drug-addicts and prostitutes to burn her private parts with lit cigarettes..." This practitioner was overcome with grief and could not continue to describe the torture that happened to the young girl." -
