Tortures Employed at Prisons in Jiamusi City and Harbin City: Pegs in the Fingers; Stabbed with Needles and Thrown into Ditches
2006-05-29
In 2001, persecutors at the Hegang Men's Labour Camp tortured Dafa practitioners by hammering toothpicks underneath the practitioners' nail beds and striking the fingernails with hammers. After each strike with the hammer, they would ask the practitioner if he agrees to write a statement renouncing Dafa. If the practitioner refused, the hammering would continue until all ten fingers were crushed. In 2004, male guards at Jiamusi Women's Labour Camp struck Dafa practitioners who refused to give up their belief with rubber-covered metal sticks and shocked the practitioners with electric batons. -

2006-05-28Over five years ago I was detained at the Huairou detention centre in Beijing.
