Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Kong Xiangzhu, 39, was tortured to the brink of death at Mudanjiang Prison. He was forced to sit on burning concrete. Guards said, "You can meditate right? We'll let you meditate this time." Guards sprinkled plastic bags with mustard powder and then covered Mr. Kong's head with the bag. Mr. Kong's face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.
