Torture in Jiutai Yinmahe Labor Camp (Re-enactment Photos)

By Xue Baoping, a practitioner from Jilin

(Clearwisdom.net) The following photos re-enact torture based on the personal experiences of practitioners who were tortured in the labor camp.

On October 25, 2001, camp guard Tang Bo in Brigade One, Yinmahe Labor Camp, Jiutai asked practitioner Xue Baoping from Jilin to provide forged evidence for the investigation of the beating of practitioner Wang Wenhui. Mr. Xue Baoping refused to lie, and guard Tang Bo scolded him fiercely, "How much does #24 work?" Another practitioner Wan Demin answered fairly. Tang Bo framed a case against him and a group of criminal prisoners beat Mr. Wan brutally. Then the thugs including, Meng Fanrong, Zeng Fanyi, Li Xiaodong, Lu Yanhui, Wang Weidong, and Lu Tianlong pulled Mrs. Wan and Xue to the guard room and shocked both of them with electric batons and beat them brutally until they lost consciousness (Fig. 1).

Practitioner Xue Baoping held a hunger strike to protest the torture. On October 29, guard Lu Yanhui ordered four criminal prisoners and Liang from clinics to force-feed Mr. Xue with raw corn soup mixed with hot water and salt in a spittoon. Guard Lu ordered the prisoners to put in more salt, and more than half a pound was added. They inserted thick tubing into Mr. Xue's stomach, causing him to feel a severe burning sensation in his stomach (Fig. 2)

On the afternoon of March 23, 2002, guards Tang Bo, Tan and Liu Xiduo brought four others to a guard office, from which the tables and chairs had been removed. They handcuffed Mr. Xue from behind and shackled him. Then they shocked him with four electric batons. Guard Lu Yanhui from another brigade came to borrow electric batons and saw Mr. Xue. Lu told the other guards, "This is a tough guy. Stuff his mouth with the worst stinking socks." Mr. Xue was tortured for over two hours, during which he experienced shortness of breath, unconsciousness, and temporary loss of eyesight (Fig. 3). He did not fully regain his eyesight until two years later.
