• The Darkness and Ugliness of Hebei Province Women's Prison

  2007-09-10
  Hebei Province Women's Prison is afraid of the public knowing the true situation inside the prison, so it repeatedly concocts things. Every time inspectors come, they lock up the Falun Gong practitioners, who can speak the truth, and other people whom they do not trust, rather than sending them to the workshop to do forced labour, because they fear the prison's brutal acts will be exposed. This prison boasts to the outside world about its humane administration and good living conditions--both outright lies.

  2007-09-09
  Five officers were assigned to torture each practitioner. These officers immobilised the practitioners, then pinched their nose, pried open their mouths, and force-fed them. The "dead man's bed" is supposed to be used only for death row prisoners. However, Director Guo used it to torture practitioners. One of the torture means in the detention centre was known as the "cross." Three wooden boards, each 8 inches wide, were made into a cross shape. A practitioner was handcuffed onto it with arms stretched out horizontally and legs spread wide open. They laid the practitioner on it, so that the wooden board in the centre pushed up against the practitioner's spine. The whole body weight fell on the spine and caused extreme pain. Soon the practitioner would start sweating because of the unbearable pain, their entire body would become numb and they would lose consciousness.
