Ms. Liu Xiaoqin from Hunan Province Repeatedly Loses Consciousness While Forced to Stand on Bamboo Sticks and Being Beaten While Hung Up

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Xiaoqin, an employee of Tali Power Station, Huayuan County, Jishou Prefecture, Hunan Province (West of Hunan), was arrested on September 30th, 2007 by the police from Longshan County and agents from the Huayuan County 610 Office¹. Her house was ransacked and she was taken to Longshan County where she was tortured brutally. She was hung in the air while handcuffed. She was beaten with a leather whip and later forced to walk on sharp thin bamboo sticks that were stapled to the floor. The pain was excruciating and she lost consciousness a few times.

There are scars all over Ms. Liu's body. Her feet were badly swollen with bloody pierce marks on the soles.

There are three other practitioners who were arrested along with Ms. Liu Xiaoqin. All of them were tortured by agents of the Longshan County 610 Office. The agents used torture as a brainwashing method including tying up, beating and kicking practitioners, pulling their hair and forcing them to kneel on bamboo poles.

These practitioners are now detained at the Huayuan Detention Centre.

Note

1. "The 610 office" is 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.
