• Seven Common Torture Methods Used to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

  2003-09-01
  Normally an electric baton has voltage of tens of thousands volts. When it discharges continuously, it emits blue light with static-like sound. When the electric current goes through a person's body, it feels like one is being burned or being bitten by snakes. Every shock is very painful like a snakebite. The victim's skin turns red, broken, burned and festering. There are even more powerful batons with higher voltage that make the victim feel like he is being hit with a hammer.

• My Daughter is Being Persecuted at the Dabei Jail in Shenyang

  2003-08-30

Both of her hands were black and blue. She had a gaping wound in a triangular shape, which was most likely cause by a metal object. It was February when I saw her.
