Atrocities in the No. 7 Detention Center, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province

(Clearwisdom.net) The No. 7 Detention Center in Harbin ruthlessly persecutes Dafa practitioners. Police shocked Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Shuzhen's whole body with electric batons, sexually harassed Dafa practitioner Ms. Xu Youqin, and used two bamboo sticks to squeeze Ms. Jia Shumin's hands eight times repeatedly.

In July 2002, Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Shuzhen from Heilongjiang Province was illegally arrested on her way home, and sent to the No. 7 Detention Center in Harbin. In the detention center, Ms. Wang tried to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to the 610 Office personnel. They did not listen, and instead cruelly tortured her.

First, they tied Ms. Wang's hands so tightly with rope that she could not move them. Her hands soon turned purple-black and became swollen.

On the second day, the police started prodding her all over her body with electric batons. As a result, her whole body turned purple-black and was covered with purple lumps. People who saw her condition in the jail were devastated. A few days later, another four people continued the brutal interrogation, yet Ms. Wang still did not cooperate with them. They used electric batons to shock her again. They also handcuffed Ms. Wang's hands to an iron chair, then wrapped them with electric wires and shocked them. The electricity circulating through her whole body made her pass out. The police poured cold water on her to revive her, and then continued the torture, shocking her repeatedly several times. Ms. Wang's face went pale and she was unable to walk or support herself. Afterwards, these four policemen who interrogated her took turns beating her. This time one of Ms. Wang's teeth was knocked out, causing her mouth to bleed.

In addition, police also went to Ms. Wang's home to illegally confiscate her family's belongings. They confiscated the cash set aside for her child to attend college, her bankbook, retirement pension, ID card, and even the pictures on the wall.

Then police sentenced Ms. Wang to three years of imprisonment without any proper legal course.

The police in the No. 7 Detention Center were ruthless and vicious towards Dafa practitioner Ms. Xu Youqin. Using interrogating her as a reason, they took her into a dark room and sexually harassed her. Police first handcuffed both her hands and then said she was beautiful. Then they began to touch her. They groped her breasts and then used a cigarette lighter to burn her nipples. Then they bound Ms. Xu to a hard chair and used electric batons to shock her whole body.

There was a Dafa practitioner named Ms. Yu Guorong in the No. 7 Detention Center, who was around 60 years old. The police not only shocked her with electric batons, but also constantly yelled at her. They used small plastic tubes to beat her head. When they shocked her, both her hands were handcuffed to a hard chair. Her hands were wrapped with electric wires, and her whole body was shocked. The persecution gave her heart problems and made it hard for her to walk. Her muscles twitched incessantly for more than one month after the torture.

Another Dafa practitioner, Ms. Jia Shumin from Hailin City, was abducted by Chaihe police in April 2002. The police first used two bamboo sticks to squeeze her hands eight times repeatedly. Then they used a big board to beat her, eventually covering her body with cuts and bruises. She was unable to get up for three to four days. During the beatings, Ms. Jia was having her period. The blood from her wounds and the menstrual blood mixed together and flowed down. On seeing this, the policemen roared with laughter.
