The Dark Secrets of Xuchang's No. 3 Prison: Practitioners Pass Out With Agonising Screams

The Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) recently reported methods used to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners in Xuchang's No. 3 Prison in Henan Province. Here, we would like to add some more details.

Most male practitioners arrested in Henan Province are sent to Xuchang's No. 3 Prison. The methods used by the police there to persecute practitioners are extremely brutal, detestable and inhumane.

Soon after a Falun Gong practitioner is put in the prison, the prison guards arrange three to five inmates (drug addicts, thieves, or other offenders) to surround and shadow him, watching his every move. The police link rewards and punishments for the inmates to how they deal with the practitioner. If they take part in the persecution, their terms are reduced. If not, they are beaten or their prison terms extended. These inmates who had little in the way of humanity to begin with, and under the lure of such devious enticement, their persecution of practitioners is especially harsh and brutal. They beat practitioners for no apparent reason, and force them to write the so-called three statements (letter abandoning the practice, letter of repentance, and letter of guarantee). The inmates take turns watching practitioners while depriving practitioners of sleep. They force practitioners to be exposed to or run under the summer sun, or drive them to the fields in winter nights to suffer the bitter cold.

The guards do not sit idling by though. For those steadfast practitioners, the guards shock them with multiple electric batons for hours each day, or use rubber batons to beat their legs. Many practitioners' legs were crippled with wounds all over. The guards also force practitioners to do slave labour for eighteen hours a day. For the ones who have steadfastly refused to write the three statements, in a grotesque display of crude barbarity, the police had five or six inmates hold one practitioner on the ground and stripped off his clothes. They then tied his private part with a nylon string, and had two people pull hard on the string. The practitioner passed out after letting out a heart-wrenching scream. The practitioner's private part swelled to the size of a fist making urination all but impossible. To top these heinousness acts, a tooth brush was inserted into the practitioner's anus and twisted and turned, thrusting up and down his anus, causing the practitioner to pass out in excruciating pain. As if this was not enough, the brush stained with blood and fecal material was then shoved into the practitioner's mouth. All this can only happen under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime. The wicked party's scoundrel nature and evil essence has been fully displayed.
