(Clearwisdom.net) At around 10:30 a.m. on November 2, 2001, and from 4:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. as well as at 12:00 p.m. on November 24, 2001, in order to force incarcerated Falun Gong practitioners to write the so-called "four statements" and to give up practicing Falun Gong, the new comers' team of Handan City Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province cruelly tortured Falun Gong practitioners Gao Chao, Liu Yanbin, Gao Jinzhu, Liu Shulin, Liu Jianjie, Wang Yanlei, Wang Baojian, Lu Haiming, Liu Ruiqing, Zhang Zhenjian, Zhao Guixiang and others.
They instigated the following villains to torture the practitioners. These people were all prisoners in the new comers' team of Handan City Forced Labor Camp, and were well built, robust persons:
Yang Jianbin: from Wuan area in Handan City. At least half of the detainees in Handan City Forced Labor Camp have been beaten by him
Zhou Shuxue: from Wuan City
Lu Shifeng: from the Lianfang First Construction Company, Congtai District, Handan City
Zhao Jijun: from Yangnan No. 2 Street, Yangqu River Mine, Fengfeng Mine District, Handan City
Wang Junfeng: from the west district, Quzhou County of Handan City
Suo Qing: from Yangnan No. 2 Street, Yangqu River Mine, Fengfeng Mine District, Handan City
Ge Yuanzhi: from Handan City (now has been released)
This time, the Handan City Labor Camp did not use electric batons or other physical punishment like before. Instead, they invented something called the "Flying Tiger Bench." In their own words, "It's so easy to transform someone; all we need is about 5 minutes. We'll make you do whatever we want."
 The torture method "Flying Tiger Bench" (Torture display) |
Their method is as follows: They tie a practitioner's knees together with a bed sheet, make them face toward the wall and lower the practitioner's head so that the back of his neck touch the wall. Someone then restrains the practitioner's legs and buttocks making them unable to move. Then they push the practitioners' hands upward until they touch the walls. At the same time they tighten the bed sheet around the knees. When compared with the previous tortures such as electric batons and rubber batons, practitioners say that this was so painful that they didn't even know what the previous pain felt like anymore, and sweat poured out instantly. Some practitioners would pass out immediately, and just a few minutes' torture would make the practitioner unable to walk normally. After they tortured Gao Chao in this manner, for over a month he could only walk by bending at a 90-degree angle.
 Torture Display: Tie up the legs and press the head hard downward |
Such a cruel torture method was performed under the instruction of policeman Xue Peijun of the new comers' team of Handan City Forced Labor Camp. Xue is the key figure in the 610 Office of the labor camp, and is one of the main thugs who persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
