  2011-01-11
  One of the most brutal tortures Dr. Yang Guiyuan suffered in Guangzhou First Forced Labour Camp was when he was tied with ropes into the shape of a ball. He said, “They shredded military quilts to make ropes. These ropes can cause severe pain, but they don't leave any visible wounds. Guards started with my arms by tying them circle by circle. Then they made me double cross my legs and tied them up. The blood circulation in my arms and legs was cut off. My arms were tied behind my back. My wrists were tied together and lifted behind my back close to my neck, causing much pain. Finally, they pulled a rope from between my legs and put it around the back of my neck, pulling my head down into my legs. I was tied up like a ball, and after a while I couldn't feel anything."
