Torture

• I Was Tortured With Poisonous Drugs by the Shayang Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province

  2006-09-09
  Around May and June 2001, when I was first detained in the Shayang Forced Labour Camp, the guards forcibly gave Falun Dafa practitioners injections, using the excuse of "protection from typhoid fever." The guards arranged for some hired thugs to wait in a police vehicle. If anyone did not yield, they took him in the vehicle to another location and separately carried out more brutal persecution. I was forced to have an injection. However, the prisoners who monitored us did not receive injections at all, which showed that the guards tortured Falun Gong practitioners with drugs.

• Seven Electric Batons Used to Shock One Practitioner in the Zibo Forced Labour Camp

  2006-09-09
  The officials worked together to persecute the practitioners by detaining them individually and in secret. They used many vicious tortures. Every practitioner suffered from electric shock torture to varying degrees, the worst example was using seven electric batons to shock one practitioner. They also put a motorcycle helmet on a practitioner's head, then turned on the speaker in the helmet to the highest volume broadcasting a recording that slandered Dafa. This torture damaged the practitioners' nervous system. The torturers took turns blowing cigarette smoke into the helmet to make the practitioners cry and cough. They tied practitioners up with a belt so tightly that the person could not breathe and was almost in shock.

• Non-Practitioner: My Experience in the Tianhe Custodial Station in Guangzhou

  2006-09-09
  Though those Falun Gong practitioners were very kind and full of compassion, the guards never spared them of abuse. The guards often called them out and had so-called "heart to heart talks" with them. They were very hypocritical and tried to lure them to be "reformed." The guards tied a Falun Gong practitioner Zhu Dezhi to the ground with steel shackles with his arms around the outside of his knees and then cuffed his arms together between his legs (This type of torture was called "thread a needle and nail shackles"). He had to ask someone to help him even when he went to the toilet. Sometimes he had to defecate into a cup and wash and use the cup again.

• Ms. Chang Lijun from Shandong Province Sent to Forced Labour Camp - Her Whereabouts Now Unknown

  2006-09-08
  On the morning of September 6th, 2005, practitioner Ms. Chang Lijun was arrested by local police and taken to Shandong First Women's Labour Camp. Three months later they still hadn't "transformed" her, so the labour camp secretly moved her. Six months have passed and still there is no news about Ms. Chang, which very much worries her family, relatives, and friends. Second group chief Ms Niu Xuelian is very malicious, and practitioners are tortured with electric shocks even if they've already fasted for over ten days. Even the non-practitioner detainees are unable to watch, and are heard saying, "I am in my 30s, but I've never seen such a malicious woman before!"
