Dalian City Forced Labor Camp Wardens of the No.8 Brigade in the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp tortured
"unlawfully detained" practitioners in a small compartment. When their
supervisors come to inspect the prison they close the small compartment but
reopen it afterwards. In early September 2005, practitioner Mr. Gu Shuchun was tortured in the
small compartment. During the daytime, wardens handcuffed him to two separated
beds, with his arms extended in opposite directions. He was forced to sit on a
low stool and could not make any movement. During the night, wardens handcuffed
him to the two sides of his bed so that he could not turn over. The handcuffs
cut into his flesh and caused excruciating pain. He suffered various tortures
until another practitioner was put into the small compartment. In the middle of October 2005, practitioners Mr. Yang Liguo and Mr. Han Qu
were put into the small compartment. They suffered from the same torture as
practitioner Gu Shuchun. Additionally, they were force-fed every day. The rubber
tubes used for force-feeding were always left in, and the two practitioners
consequently had difficulties breathing. They are still being tortured. Virtually every newly arrested practitioner has been tortured in the small
compartment. Policeman Han Wei is the person chiefly responsible for this
torture. In February 2005, practitioner Mr. Liu Jilian was arrested for the second
time and sentenced to two years of forced labor there. His health has
deteriorated because of torture. He has diseases in different organs. He had a
stroke, urinates frequently and has difficulty walking from severely swollen
feet. Even though he is struggling to live, he is still being unlawfully held. Jiang Chongjiu, a brigade chief in the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp 5. [Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Mr. Zhao Chenglin
