They tortured her for over 30 hours with methods such as whipping and using the "tiger bench," which led to her lower body becoming paralysed.

    The journalists, doctors, and the nurses were all very angry at what had happened after witnessing this persecution. Who could be so cruel to a person who would not retaliate when hit and cursed?

However, the municipal government, the police department, the court, and "610 Office" all stepped in and did not allow the publication of the photos.

  • Labour Camp Official: "210,000 Falun Gong Practitioners Are in Detention Nationwide"

    I was brutally force-fed. Because the labour camp was damp and dirty, the Falun Gong practitioners all had scabies. My arms and the lower part of my body were all festered, and my feet were festered so badly that I had to wear slippers in the snow in December. My hands could not use chopsticks, and when I urinated, I often lost consciousness due to the severe pain. When I returned home after the prison term expired, I slept on the floor for more than two months. I could not sit or stand still, and I could not lie down.

  • Police Have Doctors Surgically Cut Wang Minli's Trachea to Prevent Their Wicked Crimes from Being Exposed

    But when Wang was asked whether she got the injury from jumping off the building, she shook her head "no." She pointed to the police and signalled that it was caused by the brutal beatings from the police. Also, there was a chance that there might be other serious injuries at the place where her chest was wrapped up. Under these circumstances, her family asked to examine her injury. However, the police refused. Since Wang Minli's trachea was surgically cut, she has not been able to talk or move around. All she can do is lie in bed. She is also unable to eat, and her life is being sustained by infusions.
