Ms. Wang Jinrong Recounts Torture by Officers from the Chifeng City Domestic Security Division

During a trip to a copy shop to copy Falun Gong lectures on June 1st, 2001, I was arrested by officials from the Domestic Security Division in Chifeng City, Neimenggu Autonomous Region. The police ransacked my home and then put me in a remote beat-up warehouse. There, for four days and three nights, I was severely tortured as they tried to coerce me into giving "confessions." The skin on my wrists was bruised and lacerated, which caused my wrist bones to be exposed for over six months. More than ten people participated in the torture session, including Bu Ren, Li Dawei, and the head of the Domestic Security Division.

The police were divided into two groups, who took turns maltreating and torturing me. Bu Ren and Li Dawei tied me to a chair and interrogated me, asking from where I got the lectures. When I refused to answer, they shocked me with electric batons. During this process, they broke the thick cord and one electric baton twice. I shouted “Falun Gong is good.” Bu Ren then inserted a dirty and torn glove into my mouth, and told Li Dawei to bring him a high-voltage electric baton. They burned a piece of paper with this high-voltage baton in front of me, trying to threaten and force me to provide them with names of other Falun Gong practitioners. However, I didn’t give in at all. The police then continuously tortured me. They slapped my face severely, and shocked me for a long time with the high-voltage electric baton.

The following day, the head of the Domestic Security Division brought another group of police officers, and the torture continued. They first hung me from a door frame. Later, when they noticed that my toes were touching the ground, they handcuffed my hands behind my back and hung me up in the air for more than half a day, which caused my arms and hands to swell and become numb. I was not released and taken down until 4:00 p.m. A police officer with the surname Zhang slandered Falun Gong, and attempted to coerce me into providing practitioners’ names. Since I didn’t cooperate with him, he used an electric baton to shock me. He even held the electric baton on top of my head for quite a long time, which caused the top of my head to be flattened. He shocked me so severely that my chest, back, arms and legs were covered with charred skin.

I was transferred to a police station in the evening, and Bu Ren went there as well. The police continued to torture in an attempt to extract a so-called confession. They handcuffed me to an metal chair and five officers shocked me together until the latter half of the night. Because the electricity was extremely intense, I struggled involuntarily. The skin on my wrist was bruised and lacerated, and my bones were exposed due to the tight handcuffs. I did not have a meal for several days. I was tortured until I almost lost consciousness. Noticing that I was in critical condition, they transferred me to the East Detention Centre on the fourth day.

Several days later, an officer with the surname Wang brought me to a trial. He showed me two pieces of paper. One contained my name and the cause of my arrest, and the other contained a statement at the bottom, about whether I would continue to practise Falun Gong. However, the middle sections of these papers were blank. I said “Yes, I shall.” The officer then put my fingerprints and the papers and took them away. Several days later, I was told that I had been sentenced to one year of forced labour. Not until that moment did I understand why the middle sections had been left blank. That space was used by the police to write a false confession in order to incriminate me.

The above are details describing how officials from the Chifeng City Domestic Security Division tortured and incriminated me by fabricating a false confession. I am writing about it here to expose these evil doings, and at the same time to urge the officials from this Domestic Security Division to stop the persecution at once.
