Gaoyang Labour Camp's Atrocities: Savage Overnight Torture, Burying Practitioners Up to Their Necks

In mid-November 2002 division head Yang Zemin and other personnel from the Gaoyang Labour Camp, Baoding City handcuffed female Dafa practitioners in a field. The police set up tents nearby and built fires to cook food. During breaks from their eating they used electric batons to shock the Dafa practitioners, who were exposed to the freezing weather throughout the night and were not taken back to their cells until the next morning.

Labour camp police took Dafa practitioners, mostly female, to two different tents sites for torture every day. The police officers dug a hole about 2.5 feet by about 5.5 feet deep in a vegetable field. In an attempt to persuade the practitioners to give up their belief, they would throw one practitioner in the hole and threaten to bury her alive. They even buried some Dafa practitioners up to their necks, leaving only their heads above ground. They lost consciousness from the attempted suffocation and suffered extreme agony.

Dafa practitioners' painful cries can be heard in the factory building of the Fifth Division every night. The police use seven to eight electric batons to shock one Dafa practitioner; some Dafa practitioners' skin was burned black from the electric shocks. They even used a hand-cranked electric telephone generator to shock Dafa practitioners. The evildoers connected the fingers or toes of a Dafa practitioner to the two generator poles and then they cranked it. The electric current passed through one finger to the heart, then to a finger on the other hand to form a closed circuit. When the electricity passed through the heart, the pain it caused was difficult to imagine. The whole body trembled as the current passed through the body and caused unbearable suffering. Some Dafa practitioners lost control of their bowels and bladder from this brutality.

All the methods used by the police in Gaoyang Labour Camp to cruelly torture Dafa practitioners are extremely cruel.
