Torture

• I Was Brutally Tortured Inside Jiuquan Jail in Gansu Province

  2007-03-07
  Whenever they got a practitioner to renounce Falun Gong, the jail would give 75 points to the criminal prisoners, which would decrease their serving time by 25 days. Tempted by the apparent benefit, all the criminal prisoners would take turns to brutally beat us. Practitioners were pulled inside pigpens behind the jail, where a brutal beating was constantly in progress around the clock. I was tortured inhumanly for four days. Some of them choked me while others covered my mouth. My neck was so badly swollen I couldn't breathe for a long time. I was beaten so extensively that I was covered with bruises and cuts. All of my teeth were loose, and I couldn't eat anything. I did not get to drink a single drop of water, nor was I able to sleep for one minute.

• Crimes Committed in the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Jilin Prison

  2007-03-06
  There were "stretching beds" in Jilin Prison, also called the "fixed beds." These "stretching beds" were used to torture practitioners by holding the person on the floor and fastening his limbs with four metal cuffs so that the convicts could kick, step on, burn with boiled water and prick the practitioner with pins. The cruellest torture was to put the practitioner on his back and fasten him down. Then they shoved quilts, water bottles and boards under his back. They called it "adding pressure." The torture was to elevate the person, stretching the limbs tightly. The flesh of the wrists and foot joints were torn up slowly, and the bones were exposed.
