Recent Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Division 1 of the Second Women's Section of the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2006-01-22Force-feeding is one of the most brutal persecution methods used in Masanjia. The goal is not simply to administer food into the victim's stomach through a nasal tube, but to inflict great pain in an attempt to destroy the practitioner's will. Prior to the feeding, a few guards first strike the practitioner to the ground, pin her down, and cover her nose and mouth with plastic film until she has almost lost consciousness. Then the perpetrators make a hole in the film and insert a very thick feeding tube through the nostrils into the practitioner's stomach. The perpetrators swirl the tube around to inflict greater pain, until the practitioner has reached the limit of endurance. The guards and labour camp doctor want the practitioner to give up her belief and end the hunger strike. -
