Practitioners Sexually Abused and Violently Force-Fed in Zhangshi Brainwashing Center

Oct. 7, 2004

(Clearwisdom.net) The following are truthful descriptions of the conditions that Falun Dafa practitioners were subjected to in Zhangshi Brainwashing Center, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province.

  1. Group Sexual Harassment: In a locked room, a female Dafa practitioner was violently dragged from a bed by two men and pushed down into a chair. At the same time, a group of men surrounded her and gazed at her. Her head was forced backward such that it pressed against the back of the chair. Both of her arms were tightly held to the arm rests, and her knees were separated and held tightly. Men at both sides held her waist against the chair, while at the same time reaching into her garments and stroking her body. She struggled and tried to resist them, but the guards remained aloof and indifferent, even grinning and urging the perpetrators to continue.

  2. Force-Feeding With a Rubber Tube: A 1 cm. diameter rubber tube was inserted into a practitioner's nose and pushed down through the esophagus into the stomach. The practitioner could clearly feel the position and shape of the tube in the stomach.

    An unknown substance was then poured into the tube. Some police threatened to use beer. Others incited the perpetrators to prepare very dry and salty corn paste, which is hard for the stomach to bear, and leaves the mouth completely dry after the feeding. During the process, the people involved rotated the tube or yanked it back and forth to increase the pain.

    Every time a practitioner was force-fed, she sent out a heart-rending, painful groan. The accomplices giggled and laughed wildly. These two sounds echoed throughout the entire small building of Zhangshi. It was beyond description.

  3. Using a Special Tool to Pry Open the Mouth for Force-Feeding: The tool is about 12 centimeters long, and made of stainless steel. It uses a screw to adjust the width of the mouth opening.

Practitioners were thrown down onto a bed. A guard pressed his legs against the body and held the arms down with his hands. At the same time, another persecutor violently forced the upper and lower jaws apart. Practitioners were often beaten severely on the face during the process. After an extended period of such torture, the stainless-steel tool was pushed between the teeth, and twisted to open up very large. Dafa practitioners' mouths were opened so that they could be opened no further. The joints in both jaws were almost torn apart.

The accomplice would then rapidly pour bowls full of water into the mouth, while holding the practitioner's nose. If the practitioner made an effort to spit it out, he or she would be beaten. Usually water was poured quickly, and the next bowl would be pouring before the first one was finished, causing the practitioner to gasp for air and feel weak. Some teeth were broken or torn out by the tool. This happened three or four times every day, and sometimes the personnel even filled the bowl with unknown drugs.
