A Practitioner is Tortured Mercilessly by Police in Liaoyuan City Torture, But Does Not Give Up Her Belief
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Qionghua (not her real name) was betrayed by a collaborator [a Former
Falun Gong practitioner who had gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] and was kidnapped
at a Dafa material site on March 12, 2002. The police from Liaoyuan city, Jilin province took her to
the Longshan branch of the Police Department, where they tortured her cruelly and inhumanely. The police were relentless, rotating every four hours (six shifts in 24 hours), watching over her
and prohibiting her from eating, drinking, sleeping, or using the washroom. At the beginning, the
police beat her across the mouth with a book until her face turned blue and the book fell apart. She
refused to say a word and sent righteous thoughts the whole time in her mind. The police forced her to sit on the "tiger bench" [Practitioners are forced to sit
on a small iron bench that is approximately 20 cm (6 inches) tall with their knees tied together.
With their hands tied behind their backs or sometimes placed on their knees, they are forced to sit
with their backs straight and look straight ahead. They are not allowed to turn their heads, close
their eyes, talk to anyone or move at all. Several inmates are assigned to watch over the
practitioners and force them to remain motionless while sitting on the bench. Usually some hard
objects are inserted underneath the practitioners' lower legs or ankles to make it harder for them
to tolerate this abuse]. Later, they discovered their torture methods did not work. She
clarified the truth to them, but did not tell them a word about the things they wanted to know. Then
the police shocked her with an electric baton, but it did not work on her since she continued
sending forth righteous thoughts. So they used another higher voltage electric baton that was more
powerful and could cause more pain. She told herself not to be afraid and not to leave loopholes for
the evil. This electric baton did not work either. The police were shocked. They changed to another
method. They put very thin needles in her ten fingers and in the area around her neck. These needles
are extremely thin and leave no marks on the skin but they can cause intolerable pain. However, Dafa
practitioner Qionghua did not yield. Then the evil police changed to even another method, as they could not reach their goal. They
took the only 60 Yuan away from her that she had and bought some cigarettes. They lit the cigarettes
and put them in her nose. Then they lit many more cigarettes and put them in an ashtray. They put a
flowerpot on Qionghua's head with the ashtray inside to make her choke on the smoke. Usually a
person could suffocate under these conditions. Qionghua kept on sending forth righteous thoughts.
Then the flowerpot cracked open with a cracking sound. The evil police used a plastic bag and put it
on her head. She still did not yield. The whole time she was handcuffed so tight that the cuffs
penetrated into her flesh. They left deep scars. The evil police went on torturing her like this day and night and unlocked the handcuffs on the
sixth day. They pretended to be compassionate, as they did not get any results from their brutal
methods. But she still refused to say anything. Instead, she clarified the truth to them whenever
possible. They became enraged and threatened her, "We will take you back to the branch bureau
if you don't tell us anything." She kept thinking to herself, "What you say does not
count. Only what Teacher says counts." Then they tried to force her to give her signature and
fingerprints, but she refused resolutely. She made it through on the sixth day uprightly with her solid and steadfast belief in Teacher and
Dafa and after five days and nights of torture. One of the police supervisors said, "You are so
great. This is the first time I've been defeated after working here for so many years." She
used her righteous thoughts and actions to prove "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are
Powerful." (Essentials for Further Advancement II) Parties Responsible in this Case: Party Secretary of Liaoyuan city: Zhao Zhenqi |
