2. [Henan Province] Ruthless Persecution of Practitioners in the No. 3 Forced Labor Camp

We are practitioners who are being held in Henan Province's No.3 Forced Labor Camp in Xuchang City. Since the Nine Commentaries were published, the labor camp police escalated the persecution of practitioners . The torture method they often used is "Tightening the Rope." They would insert a bottle or bricks between the rope and the practitioner's skin to further tighten the rope if they didn't hear the practitioner scream. Each tightening of the rope would cause more bleeding, injury, or even disability. To force the practitioners to give up Falun Gong, they selected a group of thugs from the prisoners. They poured urine into practitioners' mouths, spit on them and daubed feces on practitioner's faces, pounded their toes with hammers, pricked their fingers with needles, brushed their rectum with a tooth brush, hit their genitals, pulled their pubic hair, handcuffed them behind the back, and exposed practitioners to blazing sun or heavy rain.

The police praised the prisoners who tortured practitioners and reduced their detention terms. Because they tortured practitioners savagely and forced some practitioners to give up Falun Gong practice, in the past four years, this forced labor camp was given the recognition award "Prinvincial Advanced Law-Execution Unit."

The policemen who brutalized practitioners included Yan Zhenye, Jiang Qingtai, Yao Jieshi, Jin Long, Ma Huating, Tan Junmin, Xu Shuiwang, Zhao Zhimin, Shen Jianwei and Xu Zuwang.
