Cruel Torture in the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center
(Clearwisdom.net) The Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center in
Heilongjiang Province uses various methods to persecute Falun Gong
practitioners. The police at the Center ask Falun Gong practitioners if they
will continue to practice Falun Gong; if the practitioners answer yes, the
police will direct a number of prisoners to beat them up. The police also force Falun Gong practitioners to do excessive amounts of
work every day. Sometimes, in order to finish assignments on time, the
practitioners have to work all night. Falun Gong practitioners are forced to go through brainwashing sessions every
day. They are not given enough to eat and are not allowed to sleep. The
steadfast practitioners receive even more vicious treatment; their legs are tied
to the bed and they are hung up by their hands. Some practitioners are taken to the basement, stripped of their clothes and
forced to sit in a barrel filled with water. The police then pour cold water on
the practitioners' body, cover their heads with metal basins, and apply the
electric baton to the water. Every time the practitioners get a shock, their
heads feel like they are going to explode, and their arms and legs become numb.
It is unbearable. Some practitioners become totally disoriented, their whole
body and face becomes swollen, and they suffer fecal and urinary incontinence. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Shufen of Hegang City, was illegally arrested
by the police on May 14, 2002. Later she was sent to the Harbin Drug
Rehabilitation Center and persecuted for a long time. She is now paralyzed as a
result of the torture. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Jiang Rongzhen of Jixi City was tortured to death
in December of 2002. Falun Gong practitioners have not succumbed to the torture. Practitioner Ms.
Li Lihua took down the Drug Rehabilitation Center's ill-gotten "honor
sign," an act that shook the police. Posting date: 12/13/2003
