Ms. Pan Dongmei, female, 20, a resident of Dianbai City, Guangdong Province. On April 3, 2001, she was arrested and sent to the Chaoyang District Detention Center in Beijing because she went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. During her detention, from April 5 to April 8, she was tied to a wooden rack in Room # 612, where she was force-fed through her nose. One officer took off Ms. Pan’s socks and stuffed one into her vagina and the other one into her anus. The officer also directed prisoners to seal Ms. Pan’s mouth with tape. Ms. Pan was tortured so terribly that she lost consciousness.

From April 8 to April 10, Ms. Pan was interrogated  day and night. As she was not allowed to sleep or rest, she suffered from extreme fatigue.

On April 11, at midday, policeman Kang Jianjun forced a male practitioner to take off his pants, and dragged him into Ms. Pan’s presence. He forced her to look at the male practitioner’s private parts. Since Ms. Pan refused to look, Kang threatened to take off her clothes as well. After she refused, Kang burned Ms. Pan and the male practitioner’s faces with a lighter until they were black and covered with blisters. In spite of the severe pain it caused them, Kang used a piece of filthy cardboard to wipe the soot from their faces.
