Ms. Fan Qingqing from Weifang City, Shandong Province Suffers from Persecution and Torture
2007-09-09Five officers were assigned to torture each practitioner. These officers immobilised the practitioners, then pinched their nose, pried open their mouths, and force-fed them. The "dead man's bed" is supposed to be used only for death row prisoners. However, Director Guo used it to torture practitioners. One of the torture means in the detention centre was known as the "cross." Three wooden boards, each 8 inches wide, were made into a cross shape. A practitioner was handcuffed onto it with arms stretched out horizontally and legs spread wide open. They laid the practitioner on it, so that the wooden board in the centre pushed up against the practitioner's spine. The whole body weight fell on the spine and caused extreme pain. Soon the practitioner would start sweating because of the unbearable pain, their entire body would become numb and they would lose consciousness. -

Practitioners Tortured in Solitary Confinement Cells and Poisonous Salt Ponds at Jidong Prison, Tangshan City
2007-09-06Every division of the Jidong Prison has solitary confinement cells, which are two metres in length, one metre in width, and have only a small skylight on the ceiling. The walls of these cells are padded with foam to prevent distraught detainees from committing suicide. Solitary confinement in these cells is nerve-racking. Some inmates have nervous breakdowns, and may howl day and night. These solitary confinement cells are the first thing that greets sentenced Dafa practitioners. Each practitioner is locked up for at least 15 days, and sometimes up to several months, until he gives up Falun Dafa. Wardens deprive practitioners of sleep, and as soon as a practitioner closes their eyes, wardens order inmates to prick them with needles. Inmates often kick and hit Dafa practitioners with sticks and triangular belts.
