Because Li Huaiye closed her mouth tightly, the baton could not be inserted inside the mouth, and it shocked the teeth instead. Afterwards they took her socks off and stuffed them into her mouth. They put earphones on her to force her to listen to material slandering Dafa. Then they shocked her inner thighs and went on to shock the rest of her body.
