[Mi-yun, Beijing] Practitioners Suffer The Torture of "Being Fixed to A Board"

Ms. Guo Jing-xia was detained for refusing to give up Falun Gong. During her detention, she experienced the torture of "being fixed to a board". She was fixed to a wooden board and could not move. Her wrists were fixed to the board by iron hoops; her ankles were fixed by iron teethed-hoops; her thighs, lower abdomen, chest, and two arms were fixed to the board respectively by a leather belt. Sometimes, the guard had the board upside down so that she would feel more miserable. Ms. Guo had suffered such torture for 10 days. During that period, she could not use the toilet. She had also been on hunger strike for 40 days and had been force-fed for many times. Under such inhumane mistreatments, Ms. Guo did not give up her belief in Falun Gong. Recently, she was given one year of forced-labor.
