Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Gao Deyu from Xichang City, Sichuan Province was illegally arrested. Her family hired a lawyer for her. The lawyer lawfully requested to meet with Ms. Gao, but the judiciary tried to prevent the visit. Liu, the Deputy Secretary of the CCP Political and Judiciary Committee told the lawyer: "Don't even mention the law, we don't care about the law."
Demonstrations of Handcuff Tortures such as "Carrying a Sword on the Back" (Photos)
The CCP's prisons, forced labor camps, and detention centers employ a wide array of torture methods in order to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners.
"Carrying a sword on the back" is one of the cruelest methods employed for torturing practitioners. The guards first pull the practitioner's hand behind his back by pulling his hand over the top of the shoulder of the same hand. They then pull the other hand up from the lower back. The wrists are then handcuffed together. Although most people who are tortured like this feel extreme pain in less than twenty minutes, practitioners are forced to stay in this position for up to four hours.

A plastic bottle is inserted between one handcuff and the back, so that the handcuff cuts deeply into the wrist. This position causes extreme pain to the arms, almost breaking them.

Local CCP Political and
Judiciary Head Tells Lawyer: We Don't Care About the Law
During the October 1 CCP's National Day season of 2009, Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Gao Deyu, Ms. He Zhengqiong, Ms. He Xianzhen and Ms. Cheng Donglan were arrested, one after another in Xichang City. In November 2009, Ms. Gao's family hired a lawyer to represent her.
The lawyer went to the law section of the Police Department to request a meeting with his client, a right accorded by the law. However, the police officer and the law section kept shifting responsibility back and forth. In the end, the request was forwarded to Wang Yaohui, the deputy secretary in charge. Wang refused the visitation request with the excuse that Falun Gong cases are regarded as being highly politically sensitive cases. The lawyer said that according to the Lawyers Law and the legal Code of Criminal Procedure, he should be permitted to see his client during the investigation period. But Wang refused to give any response. The lawyer then reported the situation to the CCP Political and Judiciary Committee in the city. However, Liu, the Deputy Secretary of the Committee, dared to say, "Don't even mention the law, we don't care about the law."
Afterwards, the lawyer filed a complaint with the Procuratorate and with the Police Department. In the complaint, the lawyer stated that the policemen investigating the case violated the law, refused the lawyer's request to visit the client and thus obstructed the lawyer working on the case.
Ms. Gao's family went to visit the officer in the Domestic Security Team in the police department. The officer claimed that the case was reported to the Procuratorate. The family went to the Procuratorate but the prosecutor informed them that they hadn't received the case. The two departments kept shifting responsibility back and forth.
Why did the police department prevent the lawyer from visiting the client? Were they trying to secretly sentence Ms. Gao Deyu? What is Ms. Gao's condition now? Her family is very worried about her. By simply noting the obstruction that the lawyer experienced when requesting to meet with the client, one can understand the extent of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong over the past ten years. Namely, CCP officers and officials totally disregard the law, are afraid of being publicly exposed and are even afraid of facing the laws that the CCP itself created.
At present Ms. Gao Deyu and Ms. He Zhengqong are detained in Liangshang Zhou Detention Center. Ms. He Xianzhen is detained in Xichang Detention Center. Ms. Cheng Donglan is secretly detained in the Dechang County Detention Center which is dozens of kilometers away from Xichang City.
Ms. Cheng Donglan's situation is also very worrying. She and her husband have both been sentenced to forced labor. Her husband, Mr. Fang Zhengping, was arrested by Jiang Xing from the Domestic Security Team in Suijiang County, Yunnan Province and later sentenced to seven years and detained in the 1st Prison of Yunnan Province. His family members have still not received any word about him.
