More than Ten Days of Torture: Connecting Handcuffs and Shackles to Brutally Torture Practitioners

[Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province]

Before the New Year' Day, officials led by Li Shulin, the person in charge of Hegang City' No.2 Detention Centre brutally persecuted Dafa [Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance] practitioners. They maliciously tortured practitioners with the excuse of prohibiting female practitioners from doing the exercises. They put torture instruments on eight female practitioners. Guards connected the handcuffs and shackles to torture four practitioners. Another four practitioners were forced to keep their legs apart with sticks and then they were handcuffed to those sticks, a position where the practitioners could not walk and could not take care of themselves. Practitioners were tortured in this position for more than ten days. In order to protest this kind of inhumane torture, several practitioners decided to go on a hunger strike. Li Shulin personally led his followers to force-feed practitioners with corn porridge twice a day and took the lead to beat practitioners. When force-feeding practitioners, they even asked male prisoners to inhumanely yank practitioners' hair and twist their arms. Under orders from persons from the "610 Office," more than twenty practitioners are still illegally detained at this No.2 Detention Centre. The Jiamusi City Forced Labour Centre admissions office rejected three female Dafa practitioners because of illness. Because these practitioners couldn' pay the ransom, personnel in the "610 Office," and the local police department still did not release them.
