Additional Information Regarding the Recent Death of Mr. Liang Zhenxing
2010-05-15Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liang Zhenxing died on May 1st, 2010 as a result of relentless torture since he was arrested in 2002. Mr. Liang was handed a 19-year prison sentence. At Jilin prison, guards ordered inmates to beat him. Guards put him twice on a torture device, "Immobilisation Bed" that consists of a 6-foot-long wooden board with steel plates fixed at each end. Holes in the steel plates are used to fix handcuffs and shackles. In addition to the function of "stretching," the main function of this device is to immobilise the victim. The victims were only released from the torture device when having a bowel movement; urinating and sleeping spelled no such release. This torture device causes tremendous pain for the victim and in some cases it has led to permanent disability.
