Older Ms. Liu Shurong from Qiqihar City Tortured by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Police with "Five Horses Splitting the Body"

[Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]

Ms. Liu Shurong is a 57-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Qiqihar City. On the afternoon of September 26th, 2007, at around 3 p.m., she was arrested at home by police from Xinjianglu Police Station. She suffered torture at the hands of the police using "hands cuffed from behind," sitting on the iron chair¹, "slapping her face," and "burning with cigarettes." Most cruelly, she was tortured with a method called "Five Horses Splitting the Body." In this torture method, the persecutors stretch a practitioner's arms and tie them to each side of the top bunk bed. Then the practitioner's legs are split apart and her feet tied to the legs of the bed (over 6 feet apart). A sheet is then tied around the practitioner's waist and pulled to and fixed at another bed across the room.

Note

1. Iron Chair: The "Iron chair" is made of iron pipes. Victims are restrained on the iron chairs with both arms and legs tied for a long period of time, see illustration at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/1/9/17577.html
