• The Torture Method "Splitting the Body" Used on Falun Gong Practitioners in Jiuquan Prison, Gansu Province

  2009-03-30
  "Splitting inmates' bodies" is a very vicious method of torture used in Jiuquan Prison to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. This method was passed down from ancient times. It is used on practitioners who are locked in confinement cells. It involves handcuffing a person's hands, then using wires to fasten the handcuffs to two heaters. The torturer pulls the wires in opposite directions, making the victim feel as if his arms are being torn off. This method puts the victim through agonizing pain. The longer the arms are pulled, the more pain he suffers. Especially in the morning, the pain is so great that one would rather die than continue to live.
