Practitioners Brutally Tortured at the Third Forced Labour Camp in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province
2007-06-17
The inmates, taking orders from prison guards, forced practitioners to read slanderous materials, watch videos slandering Falun Dafa and write so-called "experience sharing." The prison guards and inmates would hit and curse practitioners when they refused to comply with their unjust demands. In order to further persecute practitioners, the perpetrators used a brutal torture method called "wrapping dry-rice dumpling." First they roped practitioners' hands behind their backs, then, they tied the rope around their legs, and then they pulled the roped legs upward towards the bound hands. Then they pulled, with great force, practitioners' bound bodies backward and upward, causing excruciating, splitting pain, until the practitioners lost consciousness. -
