The forced labor camps in Guangzhou City, including the male camp in Huadu and the female camp in Cuotou, employ a brutal means of torture used by police in the north, in order to forcibly brainwash Falun Dafa practitioners. To begin with, they detain practitioners separately in dark rooms. They don't provide food or allow practitioners to go to sleep for the first few days, until practitioners are totally exhausted and weak. Then they use strips of cloth or rope to tie practitioners so tightly that the bonds cut into practitioners' flesh. It makes people feel extremely miserable. People who are subjected to this means of torture may lose the use of their arms and legs from lack of blood circulation if they are not untied every single hour.
