Drawings of Torture Techniques -- Nos. 1 - 7
2004-06-11Flying (an Airplane) - This is one of the common tortures used in labour camps and brainwashing classes on Falun Dafa practitioners who refuse to give up their belief. In this torture, the head is bent down until it cannot go down any further, while the hands are pulled up and held up at the highest point against the wall. The practitioner is forced to hold this position unchanged for a long time period (more than 10 hours). If a practitioner refuses to comply, he/she will be shocked with an electric baton or beaten to the point of losing consciousness. Police will then roughly wake up the practitioner and continue the torture. -
