    In December 2003, Zhao Xudong and his mother Bai Jinyu and several practitioners were at home when police broke in their house and arrested them all. In detention Zhao Xudong went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. He was handcuffed and shackled together at the back so Zhao Xudong had to bend his back 90 degrees 24-hours-a-day. Criminal inmates force-fed him every three days with overly salted noodles. The force-feeding often lasted two hours. They inserted a plastic tube from his nose or throat roughly and carelessly. They pierced oesophagus and lungs in the process of the violent force-feedings. Zhao Xudong suffered excruciating pain daily. On February 5th, 2004, the force-feeding started at 5 p.m. and the food still wouldn't go down by 7 p.m. When the guards took him to the hospital, there was no heartbeat.

    The inmates, taking orders from prison guards, forced practitioners to read slanderous materials, watch videos slandering Falun Dafa and write so-called "experience sharing." The prison guards and inmates would hit and curse practitioners when they refused to comply with their unjust demands.

First they roped practitioners' hands behind their backs, then, they tied the rope around their legs, and then they pulled the roped legs upward towards the bound hands. Then they pulled, with great force, practitioners' bound bodies backward and upward, causing excruciating, splitting pain, until the practitioners lost consciousness.
