Barbaric Violence and Sexual Torture of Female Practitioners in Hanzhong Detention Centre

Under the instigation of the "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems], the Hanzhong city detention Centre has made use of the head prisoner and other inmates to inhumanely persecute Dafa practitioners. In order to force Dafa practitioners to betray their belief, they severely beat up practitioners daily, employing all different kinds of cruel torture methods.

When Dafa practitioners lost consciousness from being beaten, guards instigated the inmates to pour water mixed with instant noodle seasoning and hot pepper into their noses. They continued to hit practitioners even after they regained consciousness. The thugs also jabbed toothbrushes into practitioners' private parts to cause pain and to degrade and humiliate them. An even more vicious form of sexual torture is when a few prisoners, again with instigation from the authorities, force female practitioners down onto the floor, then other prisoners will line up and one by one and take turns in painfully squeezing female practitioner's nipples. They call this torture "milking" which causes so much pain to female practitioners that the screaming from the pain is nonstop. If any prisoner with any shred of a conscience does not want to participate, the prisoner head will intimidate other prisoners to attack her, using fear of their own torture as a means to compel them to torture others. A 50-year-old Dafa practitioner's nipples were squeezed to the point of bleeding. It is so tragic that it is unbearable to watch.

At night while watching television showing programs that defame Dafa, they force Dafa practitioners to sit very straight and won't allow them to move or blink their eyes. A few thugs will watch over the practitioners. If practitioners move or blink their eyes, they will pull practitioners eyelids, pull the eyelashes, twist their ears or slap practitioner's faces, hit their heads, or punch and kick them. When Dafa practitioners are tortured until they pass out, the instructional police will come into the room and pretend to condemn those who beat them. After that the prisoners always jauntily say, "You will be claimed a suicide if we beat you to death. Your death will mean nothing." With this attitude, they hit practitioners more violently. A practitioner was beaten and had wounds all over her body, even the "610 office" was afraid that she would die in the detention camp. They then ordered her family to pay bail of 1000 Yuan [the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] and take her home so the authorities could avoid responsibility for her physical condition.

Under the control of "610 office", Hanzhong city detention Centre authorities have enlisted the efforts of all their inmates to assist in the vicious and cruel persecution of Dafa practitioners; the prisoners are secure in the knowledge that they have the strong backing of the authorities. Unless they renounce their vicious ways and stop persecuting Dafa practitioners, the vicious police and the thugs who follow their orders will meet with karmic retribution under the heavenly principle that "good is rewarded with good and evil meets with evil." [a traditional Chinese principle]
