• Liu Yongjing Brutally Tortured by the 610 Office and Linyi City Detention Centre

  2005-04-20
  Liu Yongjing was arrested on June 10, 2004. He was beaten black and blue and thrown into the Linyi City Detention Centre that night, with hands and feet shackled. He held a hunger strike to protest this persecution. On about the fourth day of his hunger strike, policemen from the detention centre force-fed him by pushing a tube into his stomach. The tube was not the thin, silica gel tube required by hospitals, but a thick, rubber tube. It was very painful having such a tube forced into his body. The perpetrators then pushed the tube in, then pulled it out, and repeated this torture. This nearly resulted in Liu Yongjing's death. His cries for help were heard at the beginning then faded away. Liu Yongjing was on the verge of death after that torture.
