Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Wang Lili is Abducted and Sexually Assaulted by Changchun Police
(Clearwisdom.net) One day in March 2002, Changchun City police in Jilin Province abducted Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Lili without any legal reason, evidence of any criminal intent or court arrest warrant. Once in the police station, the police started to interrogate her using various types of brutal torture. Some of the methods of torture included forcing Ms. Wang to sit on the "Tiger Bench" for an extended period of time. (Practitioners are forced to sit on a small iron bench that is approximately 20 cm (6 inches) tall with their knees tied together. With their hands tied behind their backs or sometimes placed on their knees, they are forced to sit straight up and look straight ahead. They are not allowed to turn their heads, close their eyes, talk to anyone or move at all. Several inmates are assigned to watch over and force the practitioners to remain motionless while sitting on the bench. Usually some hard objects are inserted underneath the practitioners' lower legs or ankles to make it harder for them to tolerate this abuse) They also forced her to sit on the "Iron Chair" for an extended period of time, (The iron chair is made of iron pipes. Victims are restrained on the iron chairs with both arms and legs tied for a long period of time) shocking her with electric batons and beating her savagely with many different types of objects.
Running Brainwashing Classes - A Way to Make Money for the Party in Fujian Province
(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party's Working Committee in Fujian Province has continuously held brainwashing classes. From time to time the committee's officials complain to the Committee Chairman that practitioners are so resistant that they need a lot more money to fund long-term brainwashing sessions. Each time they have complained, they have been allocated at least one hundred thousand yuan, and as much as two hundred thousand yuan from top levels of the government. In addition, the officials in charge of the brainwashing classes do all they can to lower the cost, such as setting the locations for the classes in poor mountainous areas, where the cost of living is relatively low. Although they have the finances in hand, they still force Falun Gong practitioners' workplaces to pay anywhere from one to two thousand yuan [500 yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China]. The employers privately curse at the greedy officials. They still have to pay though, otherwise it is likely that they will fall out of favor with the authorities.
