4. The Methods Used by the No. 4 Brigade from Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City to Persecute Practitioners

The wardens of the No. 4 Brigade from Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province, maintained tight control of the flow of information between prisoners. Prisoners were forced to work all day and were not allowed any contact with one another in the evening. All activities, even going to the restroom, had to be carried out by all prisoners at the same time. Wardens used all kinds of cruel methods to torture each Falun Gong practitioner for over ten days without a break. Practitioner Mr. Pan Yushun's toenails were pried off by the warden with pliers. Practitioner Mr. Liu Qinghua's face was burned with a cigarette lighter by Warden Chen Lihui. Mr. Liu's injury became infected and drained for some time. Practitioner Mr. Li Tiancai weighed about 167 pounds. He was hung up in the air with his hands cuffed behind his back and wasn't allowed to sleep. The tortures caused lumbar vertebral dislocation. Although practitioner Mr. Sun Changping was not even able to stand up, the wardens forced him to squat and handcuffed his hands to his bed. They also poured a lot of cold water on the floor so that Mr. Sun could neither sit nor stand.
