Tian Yong, Chief of the First Division of Benxi Prison arranged eight or nine prisoners to torture Ms. Wang Hong. Ms. Wang is still being detained there.

Ms. Wang Hong was forced to sit on a stool. On the top of the stool, two floor boards with 5 cm width joint to form an edge with a 60 degree angle. They put an ashtray on her head and put burning cigarettes on top. If Ms. Wang could not hold still, the prisoners kicked her upper back. Ms. Wang had difficulty breathing due to the cigarette smoke.

When Ms. Wang refused to sit on the stool, a group of prisoners beat her. They hit her chest and kicked her feet. They used a floor board to hit her neck and body. There were deep bloody marks on her neck and body. There was a yolk-size hard lump on her chest and two big lumps on her knee. The lumps did not disappear for one year.

In December, the prisoners opened all windows and doors of a bathroom. They dragged Ms. Wang to the bathroom, stripped off her clothes and poured cold water on her. While pouring, the prisoners also fanned her with fans and stepped on her head. They said they would pour cold water on her once every two hours.

They did not allow Ms. Wang Hong to sleep and kept torturing her for a day and night. Two years later, Ms. Wang’s body is still swollen.
