Illustrations of Torture Used in Weifang City Labor Camp in Shandong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) The Weifang City Labor Camp (also called the Changle Labor Camp) is located
in the eastern suburb of Changle County Seat, about 30 km from Weifang City.
Since July 20, 1999, this labor camp has become used by Jiang and his regime
instrument for persecuting Falun Gong. Director Xu Lihua, male; Deputy Director
Zou Jintian, male; Management Office Chair Lu Yibo, male; Education Office Chair
Zhu Anle, male; No. 2 Ward Leader Ding Guihua; Deputy Leader Zhu Weile; Former
Ward Head (under the Leaders) Liu Jianguang, male; and police officers Han
Huiyue, male, Liu Anxing, male, and others have either personally carried out or
ordered prisoners to carry out the mental and physical torture of more than 200
male Falun Dafa practitioners detained in that facility. Many torture techniques are used. Practitioners are shocked with multiple
high-voltage electric batons and beaten with metal bars, wooden sticks, table
legs, bed boards, and leather belts. Such treatment resulted in the death of
practitioner Mr. Liu Shuchun. In his forties, he was from Changyi City. In the
cold of winter, they soak practitioners in a large tub of water for long periods
of time, dunking their heads under water to almost drown them, hanging
practitioners upside down and then dipping their heads in the water until they
choke. In winter, they drag practitioners to the bathroom, pouring cold water
onto their bare bodies, then opening the windows or turning on electric fans.
They tightly squeeze practitioners' private parts or whip their private parts
with rulers or wooden boards, making the whole area swollen. They flick
practitioners eye balls, whip their eyes with wet towels, burn practitioners'
flesh with electric irons, use pliers to pinch the flesh, poke needles in the
thighs and use scissor tips to scratch the bottoms of their feet. They turn
tables upside down to use as a Tiger Bench; hang practitioners by their
handcuffs; tie them up with ropes or tape; force them to sit with their legs
straight for a long time, both hands holding their toes, while the police sit on
the practitioners' heads or shoulders, severely injuring practitioners' backs.
They deprive practitioners of sleep for days at a time; inject them with
nerve-damaging drugs; restrict their access to a toilet; make practitioners soil
their pants; force them to do innumerable squats; force them to do exercises,
march or do aerobics in hot weather; and intentionally get them sunburned by
requiring them to do heavy labor for up to 15 hours per day. Below are photo illustrations based on victims' descriptions and acted out by
practitioners. Using upside down tables they tie up practitioners using it as a "Tiger
Bench." The knees are tied up tight, hands taped together to the toes, and then
the feet and buttocks are raised with two folding stools causing the bones to
feel like they are cracking. Practitioner Mr. Jiang Guobo was tortured like this
for an entire day. In the cold winter of 2000, in order to brainwash more practitioners, four
prisoners stripped one practitioner at a time and carried him to the bathroom,
where they held him upside down and lowered him headfirst into the water for
several minutes. They would pull the victim up and ask if he would cooperate
with the brainwashing. If the answer was, "No," they would dunk him headfirst
into the water again. Mr. Yao Hexing passed out while being tortured like this.
It took him a long time to regain consciousness. In the winter of 2000, in an attempt to coerce more practitioners into
renouncing Falun Gong, four prisoners stripped one practitioner at a time,
dragged him to the bathroom, and dunked his head in a large basin of water for
several minutes. Then they'd pull his head out and ask if he would cooperate
with the brainwashing. If he refused, they dunk his head in the water again. In the cold winter of 2000, in order to brainwash more practitioners, four
prisoners stripped one practitioner at a time and manhandled him to the
bathroom. Then they taped up his hands and feet and set him into the large, full
water basin, allowing only his head to remain above the surface of the water.
Then they used a high-pressure water hose to spray directly into his nose and
mouth for more than ten minutes to force him to accept the brainwashing. In the cold winter of 2000, in order to brainwash more practitioners, 4
prisoners stripped 1 practitioner, carried him to the bathroom, they taped up
his hands and feet, soaked him in the large water basin, allowing his head to
remain on the surface, then they'd dunk his head in the water for several
minutes, until he was forced to accept the brainwashing. In the cold winter of 2000, four prisoners stripped one practitioner at a
time, carried him to the bathroom, taped up his hands and feet, put him inside a
large laundry bag, and then submerged him in the large water basin for several
minutes, until he was forced to accept the brainwashing. In the cold winter of 2000, in order to brainwash more practitioners, seven
to eight prisoners stripped one practitioner at a time, carried him to the
bathroom and held him on the floor. Four or five prisoners held down the
practitioner's head, arms, and legs, then sprayed him in the face a with
high-pressure water hose and poured buckets of water on him. Mr. Jiang Guobo
passed out from this treatment. (There were more than ten prisoners inside the
bathroom. We had to take the photo in the yard.) In the cold winter of 2000, four prisoners stripped one practitioner at a
time and carried him to the bathroom. Then they taped up his hands and feet, put
him inside a large laundry bag, and submerged him in the large water basin. "Arching the feet": In this torture practitioners must sit on the floor with
both legs straight, both hands holding the toes, or they would be beaten.
Sometimes the hands are taped to the toes. Practitioners are forced to sit on the floor with both legs straight, their
hands holding their toes. Sometimes their tormentors will sit on the
practitioners' heads and shoulders, which resulted in serious injury to Mr. Cao
Kechang's lower back. Practitioners are forced to sit on the floor with both legs straight and
their hands holding their toes. Sometimes the perpetrators will stand on
practitioner's knees. This treatment injured Mr. Jiang Guobo and Mr. Yao
Hexing's knees. Practitioners are forced to squat with their hands cuffed. Their upper and
lower legs are tied with towels, and theirs hands are tied around the ankles.
This position does not look that bad, but it is very painful after a long period
of time. Especially when being pressed down on by thugs, the part behind the
knee is extremely painful. Sometimes practitioners were forced to remain in this
position for more than 30 days, and they were not allowed to sleep This torture
method made Mr. Zhan Haigang's face turn a purple, blackish color.
Sometimes practitioners are deprived of sleep for more than 30 days. If
practitioners even close their eyes slightly, the villains would slap their
faces, punch them, pull their ears, flick their eyes, or plug their noses. |
