Jilin Municipal Public Security Bureau Uses Perverse Methods to Torture Falun Gong Practitioners (Illustrations)

1. Police officers use a plastic bag to cover a practitioner's head which makes the practitioner unable to breathe and feel dizzy. They then tie the practitioner's hands behind his back with one hand over the shoulder and the other one against the lower back. The police apply a great deal of force to pull the two hands toward one another and handcuff the two hands together. This torture generates extreme pain for the practitioner.

2. One police officer stands behind a practitioner and uses a leather belt to pull the victim's head back and immobilize it. Another officer then inserts a straw from a broom into the practitioner's nostril, which makes the practitioner extremely itchy but unable to move.

3. Police officers tie a practitioner on an iron chair. They cuff the practitioner's hands from the back and shackled his/her feet. Then they turn on a 2000-watt bulb and put it only a foot away from the practitioner's face to bake him/her for a long period of time. Being so close to such a high-temperature bulb, the practitioner's face sweats profusely and the scalding heat is hard to endure.
