Mothers and Unborn Babies Subjected to Disastrous Tragedy throughout China: A Comprehensive Report (Part 1)
2006-02-17Police at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province attempted to compel a more than six months pregnant woman to renounce her belief in Falun Gong. They made her stand on a stool, and then tied her hands with a thick rope tightly to a horizontal girder and kicked the stool away. She hung in midair 3 metres off the floor. One end of the rope went through a pulley and the police officer held the other end. When he released the rope, the practitioner would fall rapidly to the ground, landing on her buttocks. The expectant mother was thus tortured this way continuously until she had a spontaneous abortion and was in indescribable pain. The police were even more cruel by ordering her husband to stand by and watch his wife being tortured. -
