Eyewitness Account of Police Torture

One day in October 2000, while I was working at the Renmin Road Police Station in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, I witnessed the police pull two women (Falun Dafa practitioners) into the police station. One of the women appeared to be over 50 years old. The head of the police station, Mr. Gao, as well as the police officer, Mr. Chen Xuyong, punched and kicked this woman repeatedly while they interrogated her. They handcuffed her hands behind her back with one hand pulled over the shoulder and the other pulled up from the lower back, a type of brutal torture known as "carrying a sword on the back." Then they hung her by her hands in the air in this position. [It is a combination of tortures illustrated in Figure 8 and 9 of "Illustrations of Torture Methods Used in Chinese Detention Centers and Forced Labor Camps, Part 1" at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html.] The two police officers kept beating her savagely on the face and head with belts, and cursing her at the same time. The face of the elderly woman soon turned dark purple. Shreds of hair kept tearing off from her head. The police officers continued flogging and cursing the elderly woman for nearly three hours before they finally dropped her down on the floor. Still, they did not stop the torture. They kept violently kicking her in the chest and directly on her heart until she passed out. The two police officers then barked at her, "Quit faking! Get up!" [the actual language they used contained expletives]. I could no longer bear to watch this atrocious torture, so I decided to go upstairs and check on the other woman, in her 40's, hoping that she had not suffered from any torture.
