I Suffered Four Years of Persecution in Tiebei Prison in Changchun City
2006-06-14After fellow practitioners and I were sentenced in 2001 after appealing for justice for Falun Dafa on Tiananmen Square, I suffered all sorts of physical and mental persecution in Tiebei Prison, such as being locked up in a small cell that was like a steam box, being hung up in the air by hand cuffs, and continuously forced to undergo brainwashing. We also underwent suspicious and very detailed physical check-ups, but were not aware of the real purpose for this. -
Force Feeding in Jinchang Detention Centre
2006-06-14On January 2nd, 2001, the Jinchang City Police Department arrested dozens of Falun Gong practitioners. Most of them were women. Each person was taken to the office individually and held down on the ground. With both hands and both legs tightly pulled in four directions and someone seated on her stomach holding her head and nose, the practitioner could not move even a little bit and had difficulty breathing. Then a dilator was placed in the practitioner's mouth, through which they forced a mixture of powdered milk and white flour. Twenty to thirty minutes later, the practitioner was almost suffocated, and the white mixture covered her face, neck, hair, and clothing, which quickly froze due to the low temperature. -

The Brutal Torture I Experienced in 2002 at The Haidian District Detention Centre
2006-06-12The Haidian District Detention Centre brutally beat Falun Gong practitioners. My face was beaten until it was distorted beyond recognition, with wounds covering my entire face. Anyone who saw my face at that time would have been horrified. My chest was also beaten so badly that I had difficulty breathing and could not stop coughing. Coughing caused me to double over in severe pain. To further torture Falun Gong practitioners, the Detention Centre created a device that had a sharp side pointing up regardless how it was placed on the ground. The sharp edge was about 4 centimetres (less than 0.39 inches) high. When I was forced to sit on this torture stool, the sharp edges cut into my flesh and hurt severely. -

I will buy you more when you finish this bag." Some people in our cell, who were already "transformed" and didn’t know the truth, were moved by Su's behaviour.
