(Clearwisdom.net) On October 2, 2004, French Falun
Gong practitioners held an exhibit re-enacting the torture happening to Falun
Gong practitioners in China at Belleville, an important Chinese district of
Paris. They displayed three of over 100 methods of torture that Jiang Zemin and
his regime use to try to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their
beliefs.

The first one is being locked into a metal cage that is barely enough to hold a person. The victim is immobilized in an awkward position for long periods of time. The second method of torture that was re-enacted was the forcing of bamboo sticks under the fingernails. The practitioners also displayed the Tiger Bench torture. A victim is tied on a narrow wooden or metal bench by the thighs and knees, with hands tied behind the back, and then the legs are bent in the wrong direction by adding bricks under the heels. The torture creates excruciating pain.
For the whole afternoon, Chinese and French people gathered around to watch the anti-torture and picture exhibits, and listened to running commentary broadcast through a megaphone.

People took Falun Gong newspapers and other information. Some people were very touched. A lady said, with tears in her eyes, "Seeing those torture methods makes me feel very anguished." Another person said, "How could they possibly abuse people who are doing such a great thing?"
A professional photographer was deeply moved by the Falun Gong practitioners. He took lots of photos of the torture exhibition and allowed practitioners to publish them for free.
