[Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]
Ms. Liu Shurong is a 57-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Qiqihar City. On the afternoon of September 26th, 2007, at around 3 p.m., she was arrested at home by police from Xinjianglu Police Station. She suffered torture at the hands of the police using "hands cuffed from behind," sitting on the iron chair1, "slapping her face," and "burning with cigarettes." Most cruelly, she was tortured with a method called "Five Horses Splitting the Body." In this torture method, the persecutors stretch a practitioner's arms and tie them to each side of the top bunk bed. Then the practitioner's legs are split apart and her feet tied to the legs of the bed (over 6 feet apart). A sheet is then tied around the practitioner's waist and pulled to and fixed at another bed across the room.
Note
1. Iron Chair: The "Iron chair" is made of iron pipes. Victims are restrained on the iron chairs with both arms and legs tied for a long period of time, see illustration at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/1/9/17577.html
