(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Guo Xiaohui was arrested by Lubei District policemen in Tangshan City when she was preparing materials in a Dafa truth-clarification materials production site in November 2003. She suffered various inhuman tortures including sleep deprivation for seven days and nights, being tied to a metal chair, being brutally beaten, having her hair pulled, being hit on the face, and receiving electric shocks from copper wires of a crank telephone wrapped around her ten fingers.

Guo Xiaohui was shocked so much that foam came out from her mouth and her whole body shook. The policemen poured cold water on her fingers and continued to shock her until she fainted and her heart was damaged. After she was released from the metal chair, Ms. Guo lost consciousness and could not stand. She was examined at the Ankang Hospital in Tangshan and her lower-back was found to be dislocated.

Ms. Guo started a hunger strike to protest the inhuman persecution against her. The policemen used force-feeding tactics on her, forcing food into her stomach through a tube, and injecting fluid via intravenous drips. They also injected her with nerve damaging drugs.

After suffering from the persecution for 23 days, Guo Xiaohui was illegally sent to the Tangshan City No. 1 Forced Labor Camp where she continued to be inhumanly tortured. She was shackled to a bed with her hands and legs restrained and she could neither move nor use the bathroom.

Guo Xiaohui once again started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The labor camp director, Xuan Shujun, ordered medical doctor Chen Zhengtang to force-feed her by inserting a tube into her stomach. The doctor moved the tube around and injured her stomach, causing bleeding, and then salty water was poured in. Ms. Guo was thus tortured close to death. The labor camp authorities even fined her 50 Yuan as a "force-feeding fee" [500 yuan is equal to the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China].

Policeman Liu Xianghong locked Guo Xiaohui on a metal chair and didn't allow her to go to the restroom. Ms. Guo developed a high fever. The labor camp director asked the criminal inmates to hold her down on the bed and inject liquid by intravenous drips. She was slapped on her face, cursed at loudly and her arm was randomly pierced with needles.

Guo Xiaohui was illegally detained for over one year in the No. 1 Forced Labor Camp. When the higher authorities came to check for overtime detentions, the labor camp would hide her or transfer her somewhere else, and send her back after the inspectors had left.
