(Minghui.org) Editor's note: Many Falun Gong practitioners released from the Chinese Communist Party's detention centers, prisons, or police stations have recalled being tortured in an astounding variety of brutal ways. This report, the fourth in our new five-part series on torture, describes how officials use human excrement and urine and other foul-smelling and irritating substances to torture Falun Gong practitioners.
Inmates at the Huairou Detention Center in Beijing tortured a Falun Gong practitioner who refused to give his name and address to the officers. They tied his feet with a rope and hung him upside down from a beam, then set a pot of boiling water with hot peppers in it under his head.
A female practitioner, in her 50s, was detained in the Nanyuan Residential Area in Weifang City, Shandong Province, for appealing in Beijing for the right to practice Falun Gong. Because she refused to give up the practice, they smeared her with human excrement and urine.
In an attempt to force practitioners to renounce their belief in Falun Gong, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pawns force-feed practitioners with rancid substances, smear feces on their faces and in their mouths, pour feces over them, or make them soak in it. They push practitioners' heads into latrines, spray them with toxic liquid, and hold them in pigsties or other filthy settings.
Besides feces, hot pepper water and hot mustard water, phlegm, used sanitary napkins, acid, ammonia, pesticides, insecticides, tear gas, and fire extinguishers have also used to torture practitioners.
