Persecution at the First Detention Center in Datong City, Shanxi Province By a practitioner in Datong City
(Clearwisdom.net) At the end of 2006, more than ten practitioners were
detained in the First Detention Center of Datong City, Shanxi Province; these
practitioners had been arrested during a raid even though they had not broken
any laws. They ranged in age from 17 to 62 and were in the middle of ordinary
tasks such as cooking, eating dinner, or talking with relatives who were
visiting when they were arrested. These kind-hearted practitioners were arrested
without cause; they simply insisted on cultivating Truthfulness, Compassion, and
Forbearance. Li Cuiye (male) led the "reform" of practitioners at the Detention
Center and was also primary in plotting out the persecution. In order to uphold their beliefs, the detained practitioners went on a
protest hunger strike. During the hunger strike, several practitioners' lives
were in jeopardy. Li did not stop the torture, but instead incited several
strong, young criminal inmates to tie practitioners to chairs and hold down
their heads, arms and legs to force injections. If the inmates had difficulty
locating the veins for injections, they would prick the practitioners
carelessly, often resulting in more than ten piercings. Li even said that if
they were unable to locate a vein, they were to cut open a blood vessel
arbitrarily. He also threatened practitioners, saying that if they moved during
the injections, he would have the criminals prick them with needles. Sometimes
they added an unspecified drug to the injections that caused nausea, dizziness
and drowsiness. The practitioners were also persecuted via force-feeding. Li used the same
barbaric technique of binding a practitioner to a chair, but then forced
non-sanitized tubes up the practitioner's nose and then down into the stomach
for force-feeding. The perpetrators would shake the practitioner's body during
the force-feeding, causing great pain and suffering. Li did not care if a
practitioner became unconscious during the process, he would still continue to
incite the criminals to carry out the persecution. Telephone number of Datong First Detention Center : 86-352-2512134
