First they roped practitioners' hands behind their backs, then, they tied the rope around their legs, and then they pulled the roped legs upward towards the bound hands.

Guards and Inmates Collude to Mistreat Falun Dafa Practitioners in the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province
2007-06-09Prison guards took another Falun Dafa practitioner to a special torture room. Guard Li Gongming (male) cuffed this practitioner with his arms tightly crossed (left hand cuffed to the right corner of a bed and right hand to the left corner), which made the practitioner suffer excruciating pain, and he could not move at all. Because his lower back was twisted, he was unbalanced, but he could not stand or crouch down; it was unbearably painful. Whenever the practitioner cried out, guard Liu Lin (male) would stuff his mouth with rags and kick his buttocks violently. The practitioner was tortured this way for over two hours.
