(Clearwisdom.net) Since May 2002, the abuse of Falun Dafa practitioners in the Tumuji Labor Camp in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous District has intensified. The police have tried all sorts of means to try to force Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their belief and "be transformed." Officials gave the order to use any means possible, ignoring the practitioner's safety.

They handcuff practitioners and hang them up by the cuffs, with only the tip of their toes touching the floor. This is done for more than 2 hours at a time, several times each day. Some practitioners are shocked with electric batons while hanging there.

After practitioners were beaten and subjected to sleep deprivation for several days, the police would have several people grab the practitioners' hands and force their fingerprints onto Guarantee Statements written by someone else. Then the police would declare that these practitioners have been "transformed."

Ms. Li Shuping is an older practitioner. After her fingerprint was forcibly placed on the transformation statement, she could not eat or sleep. She asked for her "statement" back and was rejected each time. The mental strain had severe adverse effects on her, and she had to be sent to the hospital numerous times.

Yin Guijuan, a female police officer, beat one practitioner until she passed out. Yin used a pin to pierce the practitioner's lower eye lid. Yin went as far as to sexually violate practitioners with her hand.

Many practitioners declared their forced fingerprint statements to be null and void, and they were severely beaten afterwards. Policeman Yin beat Ms. Wang Guihua with a wet towel, resulting in Wang's face becoming swollen and bruised. Her eyes were swollen shut, and she was rendered beyond recognition by the beatings.

One practitioner escaped but was later caught. The police beat her inhumanely, torturing her by pinching her nose and forcing-feeding her with large quantities of cold water. Then they drenched her and used electric batons to shock her.

The ward leader Zhou Guoling (female) used an electric baton to shock her nipples, and then had her beaten by other guards. They kicked her head viciously, resulting in a huge bump the size of a fist on her forehead. Her face was covered with bruises, and her body was covered with injuries.

After the escape incident, the police changed their strategies. They established a "transformation room." Practitioners would go through torture one by one. There were more than 10 guards that would keep her from sleeping. They forced her to stand for long periods of time, beat her, cursed at her and did not allow any contact with anyone else. They even had her watched by several people, even while she used the toilet. After more than a week, when they saw that this practitioner was exhausted, they forced her fingerprint on the "Three Statements (1)".

During the time that practitioner Yu Wenxia went through that "transformation room," the police handcuffed her and hung her up on the window frame. They used electric batons to shock the soles of her feet and whipped her with a wet leather belt. Two men whipped practitioner Meng Hulun with a leather belt under Yin's instructions. They also whipped her face with a wet towel and kicked her. This resulted in internal and external bleeding, as well as severe swelling.

Practitioner Ms. Wang Guihua was also hung up by handcuffs, but she refused to renounce Falun Gong. In the end all of the Falun Dafa practitioners whose fingerprints were stolen declared that the "Three Statements" were null and void.
