Description:

On September 28, 2001, Ms. Liu Runling was arrested and detained at the No.1 Detention Center. In January 2002, because she refused to renounce Falun Gong, guards ordered several inmates to torture Ms. Liu. They dragged Ms. Liu into a bathroom, stripped her naked and beat her up. Then they pinched the most sensitive parts of her body, inserted dirty stuff such as hair and used tissues into her vagina, and pierced her with needles for 40 minutes. By then, Ms. Liu was on the brink of collapse. This torture left her whole body was covered with wounds, both her breasts had turned black and needle holes could be found all over her body. Ms. Liu is still being detained in the No.1 Detention Center.

In May 2000, Ms. Wei Tianchen went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop persecuting Falun Gong and was arrested and sentenced to two years forced labor. In November 2000, she was released when she became extremely weak. In July 2001, Ms. Wei was arrested again and sentenced to four years in the No.1 Detention Center. During her detention, she was often stripped naked and beaten for refusing to give up Falun Gong. One day in January 2002, police officer Yan put shackles on Ms. Wei and ordered an inmate to pour lots of icy water on her body. She was forced to sleep on the icy ground for one month. Ms. Wei is still being detained in the No.1 Detention Center.
