Mr. Li Chuanwen, 54 years old, was from Hongmei Town, Meihekou City, Jilin Province. He started to practice Falun Gong at the beginning of 1996. After the persecution of Falun Gong began in July 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal in October 1999. He was arrested and sent back to the Tiebei Detention Center in Meihekou City. During his detention, the police instructed the criminal detainees there to brutally beat him. They used planks to beat his buttocks so hard that his flesh was torn and his pants adhered to his flesh. They also stretched his arms out, and pressed his head down. Then one person kicked his buttocks hard. As a result, he stumbled forward and his head hit the wall hard. They called such torture "passing through walls" and they often repeated the torture until he passed out. Another torture they used is to pull his arms behind his back and lift them up as high as possible, and then press his arms against the wall. Just a few minutes later he would pass out. Moreover, he was forced to make toothpicks. Every day he had to work 15-16 hours. If he couldn't finish assignments, he would be beaten. One month later he was released only after paying 600 yuan. But there was no receipt for the fine he paid.
