Retired Professor Ms. Zeng Lingwen of Changchun Subjected to Long-term Abuse
2009-09-18Ms. Zeng Lingwen, 74, is a highly respected retired professor of physics and a Falun Gong practitioner.

Practitioners suffered from various tortures including high voltage baton shocks, the death bed, forced feeding, solitary confinement, violent beatings, hanging up, being forced to hold painful postures for long periods of time. -
