• Benxi City Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province - A Den of Villainous Monsters

  2007-10-13
  The torture that the camp officials commonly administer to Falun Gong practitioners is called the "stretching bed." The "stretching bed" involves putting two single beds together and handcuffing or tying a practitioner's hands on the four corners of the two beds. (They had previously used handcuffs for this, but after the handcuffs severely cut practitioner Wang Xuefei's hands and traumatised him, the guards began using ropes to prevent this visible injury from happening.) After they tie a practitioner, they move the two beds in opposite directions. For steadfast practitioners they add some bricks between the two beds. Each brick added causes severe pain and injury. This torture method is very similar to the ancient torture method called "five horses splitting a body," also called "split by carts."

• Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Jiangsu Provincial Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2007-10-05
  Hong Ying and Zhou Ying, the political instructors of the camp, have coerced and instigated criminal inmates to beat practitioners. They force practitioners to squat on an inverted bench without shoes and transcribe materials that slander Falun Dafa at the same time. The criminal inmates beat any practitioners that disobey the orders. Practitioners who resist and dare to hold hunger strikes are force fed. Other practitioners are compelled to watch. During the force- feeding process, the nose, mouth and throat of the practitioner are often severely injured, so she is transferred to the recovery centre for so-called treatment. But while there, the practitioner is injected with unknown drugs that destroy the nervous system, so after a while, she suffers from headaches and has a constant bitter taste in her mouth.

  2007-10-04
  Since the persecution began in 1999 I have been arrested over ten times by police from the 610 Office in Changchun City, Jilin Province, and tortured so severely that my life has been in danger several times. In September 2001 police rampantly arrested dozens of Falun Dafa practitioners, including me. I was tortured with electric batons and my arms were pulled behind my back for several consecutive nights. My skin was torn and bloody from head to foot. The police blindfolded us and took us to Jingyuetang in Changchun, where there was a dark den where evil persecutors abused practitioners. I heard miserable screaming from many rooms where practitioners were tortured. The police also often took practitioners outside and beat them late at night. They covered practitioners' eyes with a black cloth, lest they recognise the place where they had been persecuted.
