[Northeast China] A Dafa Practitioners' Family Member is Brutally Tortured for Appealing
Eight Dafa practitioners from a county in Northeast China have been detained for almost three months since their arrest for distributing truth-clarifying materials. Family members are not allowed to visit them. The non-practitioner husband of one of the practitioners went to the detention center several times, hoping to visit his wife, but was refused every time. He went to see the officials of the detention center and police department, and reiterated his request to see his wife and bring her some clothes. After he was refused many times he told the officials of the police department, "If you don't let me see my wife, I will go to appeal in Beijing. Even murderers have the right to see their family members. My wife committed no crimes at all by practicing Falun Gong. What right do you have to not let me see her?" A few days ago, he went to Beijing to appeal but encountered the same treatments as Falun Gong practitioners. He was first arrested, then detained and later escorted back home by local police, from their Beijing liaison office.

Note: (*1) "610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.]
(*2) The so-called "Guarantee Statement" [A statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.]
(*3) "Tiger Bench" [ Practitioners are forced to sit on a small iron bench that is approximately 20 cm (6 inches) tall, with their knees tied together. With their hands tied behind their backs or sometimes placed on their knees, they are forced to sit straight up and look straight ahead. They are not allowed to turn their heads, close their eyes, talk to anyone or move at all. Several inmates are assigned to monitor the practitioners and force themáto remain motionless while sitting on the bench. Usually some hard objects are inserted underneath the practitioners' lower legs or ankles to make it harder for them to tolerate this abuse (see illustration on <http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html>)]
