Torture method 7: handcuffing

Form A: handcuffing the arms behind the back

This is a torture where the Falun Gong practitioner is handcuffed with his arms behind his back while standing facing a wall. Sometimes the practitioner is forced to wear a helmet, and the guards additionally shock the practitioner's arms with electric baton(s). After several minutes, the practitioner cannot move his arms and he feels as if his arms are falling out of their sockets. The handcuffs cut into the flesh and his arms become severely swollen, and he loses feeling in his arms.

Form B: handcuffed to a radiator pipe, nicknamed "Su Win carrying a sword"

The practitioner is hung up in handcuffs on a radiator pipe. There are two metal clips on the radiator pipe about 5.9 feet above the ground, and the practitioner is hung from them in mid-air. The handcuffs cut into the flesh and cause excruciating pain. Some practitioners' arms have become disabled from this torture. In December 2002, guards Wang Xiaofeng and Xue Fengdiao hung practitioner Ms. Wang Yulan (49 years old) from the radiator pipe in the division head's office until her right hand was scalded and she sustained a deep flesh wound, exposing the bone. Her left arm was disabled. She has been unable to move her left arm ever since. She is unable to work. In March 2005, practitioner Sun Jiping was dragged into the office and handcuffed to the radiator pipe after resisting brutal force-feeding.

Form C: handcuffed in a spread-eagle position

The practitioner's arms are stretched to the maximum and handcuffed to the railing of the upper bunk of two bunk beds. His feet barely touch the ground; he is in a spread-eagle position. While being handcuffed this way, the guards savagely beat him or shock him with electric batons. This torture usually lasts several days.

Form D: tie-up, handcuffing and hanging up

The practitioner is handcuffed behind his back to the railing of the upper bunk; his feet are off the ground. This torture can result in permanent disability in the arms after a while. In December 2002, guard Dong Shuxia used this torture on 36-year-old practitioner Yang Yanting for 15 hours until both her arms were disabled (see the process shown in photos 30-33).

Form E: squatting and handcuffing

The practitioner is handcuffed to the railing of the bottom bunk and his lower body is forced underneath the bed. This is a horrific torture. The victim sometimes suffers from severe lower back injury and cannot stand up. The practitioner is handcuffed this way for several hours, several days or more than ten days. The Masanjia Forced Labour Camp guards often use this torture to coerce practitioners to renounce Falun Dafa. In October 2002, practitioner Song Xiuting from Tieling City, Liaoning Province, around 30 years of age, was tortured this way by guard Dong Shuxia.

Torture method 8: sitting with arms raised

The practitioner's legs are bound with rope or shackles and stretched forward. Two guards pull his arms up above him from side to back to the maximum while pressing down his head towards his knees until his chest touches the knees. One or more collaborators¹ sit on the practitioner's back. The practitioner's head bends so it makes a U shape with the rest of the body and he almost suffocates. They torture the practitioner until he renounces Dafa.

Note

1. "Collaborators": Former practitioners who have turned against Falun Gong under brainwashing and torture. They are then made to assist in brainwashing and torturing practitioners.
