On March 14th, 2007, because practitioner Mr. Peng Shuquan from Bamiantong Town, Muleng City, Heilongjiang Province, persisted in cultivating Falun Dafa after being imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party at the Suihua City Forced Labour Camp, the guards tortured him with the "Handcuff Hanging Torture"1, sealed his mouth with adhesive tape to silence him, inserted three boxes of lit cigarettes as well as garlic and hot pepper in his nose, completely burned all of his pubic hair, burned his finger with a lit cigarette and a cigarette lighter until it was completely charred, and also shocked him with electric batons.

Before the Chinese New Year (February 18th, 2007), because practitioner Mr. Wang Dehai from Xunke County, Heilongjiang Province, persisted in cultivating Dafa after being sent to the camp, the guards forced him to sit on the iron chair, shocked him with electric batons, and stabbed his abdomen and penis tip with a cactus thorn.

The guards (all male) who tortured the above mentioned two practitioners included Gao Zhonghai, currently the political instructor of the half-open First Brigade; Diao Xuesong, currently the chief of the Second Squadron of the half-open First Brigade; Wang Wei, currently the deputy chief of the Second Squadron of the half-open First Brigade; Ma Dacheng, criminal inmate; and Sun Yajun, criminal inmate.

On April 16th, 2007, because practitioner Mr. Qi Wenbin from Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province, persisted in cultivating Dafa and refused to write a guarantee statement2, repentance statement3 or exposing and criticising statement slandering Dafa, the guards shocked him with electric batons, pummelled and kicked him, and tortured him with the Handcuff Hanging Torture. The participating guards (all male) include Diao Xuesong, police officer Jin Qingfu, and Wang Wei.

On April 6th, 2007, practitioner Mr. Zhou Hongbo from Taikang County, Heilongjiang Province was shocked with electric batons by the guards for not singing. Those who participated in the persecution included Diao Xuesong, Jin Qingfu, and Gao Zhonghai. Diao Xuesong told the practitioners who were tortured, "Why are all the Falun Gong practitioners assembled at Suihua? It's because this place is more evil than all of the other places."

Note

1. There are two versions of the "Handcuff Hanging Torture:" (a) With both hands cuffed behind the back and only toes touching the ground, the victim is hung by a rope that is tied to a metal window frame. (b) One hand of a practitioner is cuffed to one bunk bed and the other hand to another bed, and the two beds are pulled in the opposite directions. It is extremely painful when the beds are pulled apart. See illustration at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/11/17/54624.html

2. "Guarantee Statement": A statement to declare that one is remorseful for practising Falun Gong and guarantees not to practise Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.

3. Repentance Statement: In this statement the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
