2. [Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province] Brutal Torture Used at Suihua Detention Center
Police guards at the Suihua Detention Center instructed criminals to prick male practitioners with needles. They press a needle into practitioners' flesh about one centimeter in depth and then pull it out, again and again, which made the practitioners shake and spasm.
The detention center once force-fed a female practitioner with five bottles of corn porridge, and five one-liter bottles of spring water. The practitioner almost died, as the corn mixture swelled in her stomach. A 19-year-old girl was force-fed three bottles and choked on it. One practitioner was force-fed every other day for nearly two months. In the end, she became extremely weak and skinny, and was unrecognizable. Her blood pressure dropped dangerously. Her life is still in great danger. In spite of the torture, the police guards still try to extort money from these practitioners.
