Methods of Torture Used on Falun Gong Practitioners at the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center (Photos)

May 20, 2013

(Minghui.org) The Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center is where many female Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally detained in 2002. During the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the camp guards, devoid of conscience, subjected practitioners to intense torture and brainwashing in order to meet the “transformation” quota set by their superiors. All practitioners who refused to renounce their belief in Falun Gong were sent to the basement and brutally tortured.

The camp officials and guards employed more than 100 different types of torture, including the death bed, hanging up by handcuffs, ground shackles, beating with electric batons, dumping urine and feces over the victim, putting live mice into their clothes, striping them naked, and shackling them to a metal gate with electricity running through it.
