Crippling Tortures in the Changchun No. 3 Detention Center Render Practitioners Unable To Stand For Several Days
(Clearwisdom.net) In late November and early December 2002, the Shuangyang No. 3 Detention Center in Changchun
City, Jilin Province persecuted practitioners under the guise of so-called "civilized
jailing." A demerit system was set up to try and force practitioners to do things they felt
they shouldn't do. For instance, anyone who refused to wear a prison uniform would be given one
demerit that would result in punishment. In the past, Dafa Disciples in the Changchun No. 3
detention center had refused to wear the prison uniforms because they are innocent and have broken
no laws. After being given a "demerit" for breaking the rules, the practitioners were
dragged out of their cells by other prisoners under orders from the guards and pressed down to the
floor and forcibly made to put on the prison uniforms. They were then shackled in chains as
"punishment" afterwards. The most brutal type of shackling was called "running in
chains," in which practitioners' wrists are handcuffed to a ring of shackles in a manner that
forced them to bend at the waist in an extremely awkward and uncomfortable position. Once shackled,
the practitioners could not lie down, go to the bathroom, or eat. Such a form of punishment
seriously damages a person's vertebra if held for a long period of time, rendering them crippled for
several days afterward. This type of torture was used against Dafa Disciple Liu Xiu'e and Zhang Liping and did not stop
until just two days before they were put on trial. Once in the courtroom, their hands, feet, and
faces were extremely swollen , and they couldn't stand up straight or walk without support. The
policemen in the detention center roared angrily that they would drag out and torture any
practitioners who dared to speak out against the shackling, but the practitioners' righteous voices
could still be heard echoing throughout the corridor despite these threats. Upon seeing the terror
of the persecution, some criminals with heart disease became so frightened that they had heart
attacks and had to receive emergency treatment. Doctors were running around everywhere in the
corridor. Some of the criminals said angrily: "How brutal! Only these policemen could think of
such cruel ways to torture these innocent Falun Gong practitioners." One of the young female officers named Chen Xue spared no effort in persecuting Dafa
practitioners with the "running in chains" torture method. Many were put under her charge
in rooms 301 and 302 as a result. We sincerely warn officer Chen Xue to immediately stop torturing Dafa practitioners. Good is
rewarded with good and evil is met with evil. Don't destroy your own future! Here is an example for
you: There was once a wicked policewoman in the Changchun Tiebei No.1 Detention Center named Li
Xiaoqi. Like you, she spared no efforts in torturing Dafa practitioners with the "running in
chains." Being the head of the so-called education section, many people thought she had a
bright future ahead of her. However, she became so cruel that even some of the men she worked with
became afraid of her. She created an even more heinous torture method when Shuangyang's local
government changed its leadership, and was suddenly struck with serious illness and had to be
admitted to the hospital. In fact, you may have faced similar retribution already but just have not
dared to realize it. Whether you believe in the existence of Buddhas, Taos, and Gods or not, please
give yourself the opportunity for life in the future and do commit such unpardonable evil from now
on! Posting date: 4/23/2003 |
