By a Dafa Practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) The Hanzhong City Detention Center in Shaanxi Province, under the operation of the "610 Office¹," used criminals like drug addicts, drug dealers, prostitutes, thieves, robbers, and swindlers to brutally torture Dafa disciples.

On June 18, 2002, Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Xiuqin was reported to the police while she was photocopying Teacher's articles. Very soon, many police vehicles swarmed in, and arrested her on the scene. They took her to the Political and Security Section of Hantai District Police Department. The police tried to force her to answer their questions by fiercely kicking Yu's knees, pushing her back and forth, and hitting her hard on her back. Afterwards, they handcuffed her to the windowsills outside. The next day, after beating her up badly for a whole day, the police decided to put her into the detention center.

In the detention center, the police savagely tortured Yu Xiuqin. They pulled her hair, slapped her face, rubbed her chest with their elbows, pounded her back with their knees, hit her bottom with shoe soles, and pushed her to the ground and stomped on her. They ordered the drug addicts to beat her together. Anyone who refused to do so would be beaten. Among them, drug addicts Zhang Li, Gu Lijun, Tang Hongmei, and Li Xiaoyu were the ones who beat her the most ruthlessly. Two of Yu's ribs were broken, and she fainted because it was so painful. Then, they used a towel to cover her mouth, and poured the instant noodle seasoning water into her nose to force her to sit up. The guard Men Quanxiu not only did not stop them, but also verbally abused Yu and openly supported the wicked people. Later on, they transferred Yu to another cell. There they took turns squishing her breasts with their hands. It was so painful that she felt like her heart was torn. Her tragic shriek echoed for a long time.

Yu Xiuqin's breasts were squished so hard that blood dripped from her nipples, while those savage thugs laughed obscenely. They also used toothbrushes to brush her private parts, and they stabbed toothbrushes into her vagina and stirred violently until she had only one breath left. Finally when they saw that she was dying, they then informed the family and forced them pay a 1,000-Yuan fine to bail her out. It was July 19 when they finally released Yu Xiuqin, who had been tortured so severely that her face was distorted, her body was black and blue all over with countless scars and fractured ribs.
