(Clearwisdom.net) The staff members of the Second Detention Center in
Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province abuse their authority and persecute innocent
Falun Gong practitioners. They also violate the country's law that prohibits
slave labor and force the detainees to make Christmas lights.
The police compete with each other. They get bonuses based on the output of
the detainees under their supervision. They forced the detainees to work day and
night until 1:00am or 2:00am on average, and even until 4:00am occasionally. The
detainees start working at 5:30 am the next day.
According to some detainees, there was a male Falun Gong practitioner in his
30's sent to the detention center around July 2002. The practitioner was very
firm in his belief, so he did not cooperate with the authorities. He went on a
hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. The police used pliers to open
his mouth and force-fed him. According to the detainees who were on site, many
of his teeth were gone. His mouth was full of blood. At that time, the
practitioner who had not eaten for days was in critical condition. However, the
detention center did not release him. At last the practitioner passed away. The
detention center then sent his body to the hospital for so-called "emergency
treatment."
The detention center also forced a female practitioner who went to appeal in
Beijing to kneel down for hours in the snow during the winter, and tortured her
physically and spiritually.
There was also a specific device used to torture people in the detention
center. (See picture)
The police made practitioners wear the device and run. With 60-Jin (around 70
pounds) of iron fetters, it was hard to even stand for a while, let alone run.
The police often stepped on the fetters, which would put pressure the bones and
cause severe pain.
