Dai Jinsheng tied Ms. Sun's hands and feet and tried to force her to give the names of other practitioners. The rope cut into her flesh and her hands swelled to the size of grapefruits. They wrapped her head in a plastic bag and almost suffocated her. The guards also forced her to sit on a metal stool for four days in a row. They used smoke and cold water to torture her, which caused severe kidney damage. As a result, she often urinated blood. Her hands are so severely injured that she cannot even tie her pants.
