In 2002, I hung a banner saying "Falun Gong is good" in town and police arrested me. In order to protect other practitioners I refused to give my name and address. Police removed my trousers and brutally beat me with a one-inch-wide plastic tube all over my buttock. Two or three guards pulled my two arms behind my back and tried to handcuff my hands behind my back. Finally they held me down on the ground and someone put his knee on the back of my head. My hands were cuffed behind me. They pulled the handcuffs up, which was extremely painful. Then they suddenly let the handcuff go loose, which made them tighter. They did this repeatedly, which made the handcuffs cut into my flesh and, it seemed like, into the bone. I was in extreme pain and cold sweat ran down my face.

Falun Gong practitioner Du Ting, who had been sentenced to eight years of imprisonment, went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. At one time he was on the verge of death and was taken to the prison's general hospital for emergency treatment. In addition, practitioner Lu Jinlong's left arm was broken after prison guards ordered prisoners to beat him.
