Methods of Torture Used in Jurong Women's Forced Labor Camp, Jiangsu Province 

In the Jurong Women's Forced Labor Camp in Jiangsu Province, the guards relentlessly torture Falun Gong practitioners who have been illegally arrested. They use many different kinds of excruciating torture in order to force practitioners to renounce their belief.

Electric Shock

It is common for guards in forced labor camps to use electric batons to give Falun Gong practitioners electric shocks. They will shock anyone, even the elderly. For instance, Ms. Du Mingliang, who was quite elderly, was tortured this way many times over a long period of time.

Force-Feeding

When Falun Gong practitioners protest the persecution by going on a hunger strike, the guards ruthlessly force-feed them. They put rubber tubes into practitioners' noses and then shove them in and out. Some practitioners' noses bleed profusely. The food that is force-fed to them is similar to that for pigs. Even worse, they add some unidentified pharmaceuticals. After a while, they detain practitioners on hunger strike together, separate them into groups and strictly control them.

Forced to Sit for a Long Time

Practitioners are forced to sit on a small square-shaped stool from the time they are awake until they are allowed to go to sleep, usually 10 p.m. The skin on their buttocks breaks and bleeds due to the long term sitting.

Forced to Stand for a Long Time

In winter, practitioners are forced to stand outside in the cold and wind. In summer, they are forced to stand in the sun. They are forced to stand for more than 48 hours without sleep or bathroom breaks.

If practitioners protest this treatment, they are deprived of sleep and are not allowed to wash, brush their teeth, or go to the bathroom. They are given electric shocks by the guards at will.

Torture and Sexual Assault

Female guard Jiang Dongmei often bragged in front of practitioners that her electric baton was full of electricity. She forced a practitioner alone into a cell and ordered prisoner Xie Lifang and others that were in the camp for taking drugs and prostitution to beat the practitioner brutally. She was beaten to the floor. One of the other prisoners kept poking this practitioner's private parts with a stick until she bled heavily. Her private parts and thighs were beaten black and blue, and she could not move at all. After the torture, she was detained alone in a "small cell," which is another form of torture.

There was a practitioner from Xinghua. Five guards shocked her sensitive parts with electric batons and water at the same time. Her hair fell out as a result, and her face was black and blue. Ms. Chen Yujie from Nanjing was severely tortured and was severely emaciated. Some practitioners were shocked with electric batons and became crippled.
