Practitioners Tortured With Homemade Drill Causing Gaping Wounds and Exposing Bones in Jiutai Labour Camp

In April 2002, Deputy Secretary of Jilin Province Party Committee Wang Guofa visited Jiutai City Yinmahe Labour Camp. Around this time, large-scale torturing of Falun Gong practitioners happened in the camp.

On April 5, 2002, I was brought to a room that was used specially for torturing Dafa practitioners in Division No. 1. In the room I witnessed that one person's four limbs were tightly shackled to the four corners of a bed frame. There was no bed-board on the bed, only a piece of wood holding up his neck. It looked like he had been tied there for a long time, and the police were shocking him repeatedly with electric batons. After I entered the room, the police beat me several times, and then called in some assistants and stripped my clothing off. I was pushed down to the floor naked. Someone firmly held my feet, while another person stretched out my arms. They stuffed a dirty towel into my mouth then started to drill into my armpits and behind my knees with a homemade drill that consisted of a hard plastic tube with four cuts at the end. They kept drilling this hard plastic tube into me for more than ten minutes while I was screaming with pain. When the policeman (his name might be Tang Bo) became tired he called in another assistant to keep drilling. The assistant thought I was dead, I heard him saying he could see the white bone through a hole they drilled under my arm. That spot on my body quickly became infected and festered into a gaping hole with rotten flesh that smelled terribly.

Later they started to drill the other practitioner in the room, I believe his name is Huang Yaodong. He was drilled twice, leaving four holes in his body, one of which under his arm decayed into a fist-size hole that took several months to heal. Jiutai City Hospital wanted to hospitalise him for treatment, yet the labour camp authorities had him carried back to the camp using the excuse that there was no money to pay the treatment.

I heard that practitioners Wu Dexiu and Liu Qinghua were also drilled like this here in Jiutai. In addition, the police smeared toothpaste in Liu Qinghua's eyes.
