Drug Poisoning - A Method of Torture Often Used by the Chinese Communist Party

Stories of Practitioner Ms. Li Guangqin from Shandong Province During Her Imprisonment
2007-01-13Ms. Li Guangqin was sentenced to two and half years in Shandong Province Women's Forced Labour Camp. Once a guard was verbally abusing a practitioner.

The labour camp guards wanted the practitioners to write a so-called "education summary" but no one wrote anything. When they wanted to take a practitioner away, Li Guangqin held onto the practitioner and stopped them. Two male guards were called in and forcefully took Li Guangqin and the other practitioner to a solitary confinement cell. Li Guangqin was handcuffed to a heating pipe for three days and nights.
