  • Electric Needle Torture

    "In May 2003, I was arrested and detained in the Wuhan Detention Centre for distributing materials to clarify the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa. Later, I was sent to a psychiatric hospital south of Wuhan City in Hubei Province. During this time, I was subjected one of the cruellest tortures--being electro-shocked with needles inserted into my temple. While the electric current was passing through me, my whole body was convulsing with great force. The pain was unbearable. It was like a knife stabbing into my head."
  • People Reduced to Skin and Bones, Forced Abortion at Nine Months, People Tortured to a Vegetative State -- What Leads Chinese Police to Do Such Things?

    After two decades of China's new policy of reform and openness, Chinese people's lives have improved somewhat, and with more and more contact with the outside world, Chinese people look towards the future with high spirits. Exactly because of this hope, many Chinese people refuse to believe that such a degree of torture and persecution is currently taking place in China. The fact that people don't believe points to the fact that the persecution against Falun Gong is beyond people's imagination.

    Torture method: Pliers are used to pinch and pull on fingers and toes: The perpetrators first isolate and pinch the two top segments of a practitioners' finger; then they use metal pliers to clamp hard on the bones and fingernails.

This is how they proceed: They first clamp the index finger of the left hand and then they crush the big toe on the left foot.

    Method 2: Force-feeding: With the victim bound to a bed or chair, the persecutors pry their mouths open and force-feed them using a funnel or tubing reaching into the stomach. Before feeding, the persecutors first pull the tubing up and down, and back and forth repeatedly. This usually results in bleeding of oesophagus and stomach, and is extremely painful. The victim is then fed unknown substances, drugs, or a high density solution of salt and water. Practitioners often vomit after force-feeding.

Why did you change the clothes on his body? Why you are afraid of his family taking photos of his body? Why did you even beat them forcing them to flee so as to prevent ant photos from been taken?
