• Force Feeding Is Being Used by the Communist Party to Torture and Kill

  2010-03-24
  Force feeding is being used in Chinese prisons to persecute and torture Falun Gong practitioners. The torture severely damages the body and often leads to death. For direct force feeding through the mouth, the guards pry open the mouth with a sharp metal tool. During the process, the mouths of some practitioners are torn up. The guard pours substances into the mouth of the practitioner. For force feeding using a nasogastric tube, the tube is forced through the nasal cavity and oesophagus.
