At first, former practitioners who turned against Dafa took turns to beat her, three or more at a time, three times a day. They wanted to force her to accept the brainwashing by kicking her, holding her under a huge wooden board, hanging a plate or a bag of sand from her neck, ordering her to wear a high hat to humiliate her, stomping her while she was on the ground, making her remain standing for a long time, depriving her of sleep, hanging her up by the handcuffs, shocking her with electric baton, locking her up in a small cell (1), and putting an electrified metal hat on her head, and pulling her hair out. She was covered with injuries but still refused to give up her belief. They hired 30-40 policemen from out of town and tortured her in a secret room until she suffered a mental breakdown. Ms. Zhu Yun from Huludao City is also detained here, and she has been tortured with force-feeding since the spring of 2004.
