Young Female Practitioner: Tortures I Received from Police in Beijing
2006-01-27"In 2001 I unfurled a banner at Tiananmen Square. Several police officers appeared immediately and two of them twisted my arms behind my back and dragged me into a police van. I was sent to the Qianmen Police Station and locked away in a large jail cell. I refused to tell the police my name and address and was sent to another police station and tortured. Two of them tied a rope to my handcuffs and then used the rope to hang me up in the air in a garage. They also continuously kept pushing my head down. The weight of my whole body fell on my wrists and I felt agonising pain. They sealed my mouth so I could not make any noise. After I could not bear the torture any longer, I told them my address." -
