(Clearwisdom.net) Wu Jiyang, a 34-year-old female practitioner who peacefully appealed in Beijing on October 27, 1999, was arrested and then abused and tortured by the Qianmen Police Branch. She was kicked violently by four to five policemen in Fengtai Baseball Field on October 28. While being detained in the Huairou County Detention Center, she was kept from obtaining a sanitary napkin while menstruating. On November 16, 1999, Wang Dianbin from the Xiangfang Police Branch extorted 1,100 Yuan from her and 1,000 from her family. On December 9, 1999 she was kicked, slapped and beaten by Zuo Miao and Liu Ying in the Harbin No. 2 Detention Center. On April 26, 2000, during her time in the Wanjia Labor Camp, she was locked up in isolation in a "small cell" for 38 days, and forced to sit in an iron chair for 10 days and 9 nights while being given insufficient food. (Translator's note on the "small cell": The detainee is locked up in a very small cell individually. The guards handcuff practitioners on their back in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp and no sunshine comes in. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked up in a small cell during the daytime. During the night rats often infest the cell. The stench in the small cell gets so bad that it is difficult to breathe.) Between January 31 and February 5, 2001, she was forced to stand for 14-16 hours a day, not allowed to have a mattress and blanket, forced to sit motionless in an iron chair for long periods of time, handcuffed to the prison cell railings and endured force feeding. Between March 9 and April 9, she was handcuffed to the prison cell railing by both of her hands. In September 2001, she was extorted out of 1,100 Yuan by Song Shaohui from the hospital in Wanjia Labor Camp.

She was forced to watch brainwashing videotapes of enlightenment along an evil path, and her detention was later further extended. She successfully fought for her unconditional release through a hunger strike. During the hunger strike, she was force-fed by the police with thick tubes 2 cm in diameter.
