Stop the Brutal Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp
2006-12-06On August 30th of 2006, a group of Masanjia No. 2 Women's Labour Camp guards moved into the labour camp. They began using various torture methods on steadfast practitioners in order to try to turn them against Dafa. The most unbearable method is "the big hang-up", with one hand cuffed to the upper rung of a bunk bed ladder, and the other hand cuffed to the lower end of the bed head. Both arms are stretched out, one high and one low. The person cannot stand up or sit. Both legs are bound. It is excruciating. During this time, one is forbidden to eat or go to the toilet. Some have no choice but to defecate in their trousers. Practitioner Wang Guiping was hung like this for 30 hours. -

2006-12-05
For steadfast practitioners, the guards order inmates to torture them with a method called "the Big Hang-up" while also brainwashing the practitioners. The practitioner's hands and feet are tied to four poles of a double-bunk bed, making the practitioner hang in the air in a U shape, between the upper and lower bunk, and her body weight rests completely on her wrists and ankles. Her buttocks don't reach the lower bunk, and her hands and feet cannot reach the upper bunk. She is only untied for eating. Many practitioners can barely hold a spoon after the blood circulation to their hands are cut off for so long. -
