Brutal Forms of Torture Common Throughout Chinese Provinces

Linyi City, Shandong Province:
A policeman used a cable composed of four #8 iron wires to beat a female practitioner until her body was covered with wounds. Another male practitioner was surrounded and attacked by four policemen. They tried to use sleep-deprivation to force him into giving up his faith in Falun Gong. Both practitioners walked out of the detention centre openly and with dignity. 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) attempted to send practitioners Li Xiu and Mei Zi to a brainwashing class in Wangchun. They both walked out safely, right in front of the policemen's eyes.

Police officers at the No. 1 Detention Centre in Qiongshan City, Hainan Province used brutal torture methods such as beating with sticks and fists, kicking, handcuffing behind the back, submerging into water, and sleep deprivation on practitioners. A practitioner's spine was broken from beatings, and he was on the verge of death. Even so, the police officer pointed a gun at him and said threateningly, "I can beat you to death, throw you out of the window, and then claim that you were beaten to death because you tried to escape."

Details of the bloody violence used in a brainwashing class in Pingshan County, Hebei Province are being revealed. Officials forced practitioners to stand outside under the scorching sun, handcuffed them to a tree for up to seven days and seven nights non-stop, force-fed them water with hot pepper, and burned them with cigarettes. A wooden stick, around 1.3 inches in diameter, broke from being used to beat the practitioners. Several thugs brutally beat a 65-year-old retired teacher and former county political consulting committee member, Li Shouwo, until he passed out three times.

Over 30 practitioners in the Emei region were persecuted. Some were extorted out of 30,000 Yuan, and several practitioners were forcefully put on the "Dead Person's Bed" or "Big Letter Board" (reference available at: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html) and tortured for 7 days by the guards in Shizhushan Detention Centre.

A brief summary about the persecution against practitioners illegally detained in Pingchang County: Wu Xianjian, the National Security Section Head in the local Public Security Bureau, tortured Dafa practitioners brutally. He punched and kicked practitioners, and forced them to jump repeatedly or remain bent over for long periods of time. He said, "I will kill you with a knife and then tell people that you committed suicide."
National Security Section in Pingchang County: 86-8276234126,
Assistant Section Head Mou Xingfu: 86-8276227605

On September 12 in Jingyan County, the perpetrators sent practitioners to forced labour camps, paraded them through the streets to humiliate them, and tried the practitioners in public. Some practitioners were put into water dungeons.
